Global SMT & Packaging – Korea
Korea is a key enabling country and home to many of the world’s leading brands
such as Samsung, LG Electronics, AMKOR and many more. Penetrating this market
will provide suppliers with the opportunity to be specified-in at the early stages of
product development, before they are rolled out across the world.
The Korean electronics manufacturing industry has recently transitioned to a
high-value industry. Hence, it is necessary for Korean electronics manufacturers
to operate cost-effective MESs
(Manufacturing Execution Systems) using
state-of-the-art equipment and materials
to provide improved productivity and
reduce costs and time-to-market. KPCA
(Korea Printed Circuit Association)
forecasts the PCB manufacturing market in Korea for next year will
continue to expand, thanks to the growth of the semiconductor and
display industries.
Sales of electronic manufacturing equipment grew by 20% in Q1 2008
[1], confirming Korea’s position as one of Asia’s fastest growing and most dynamic markets.
