[Edaily Reporter Shin Ha-yeon ] #SAMYANG COMTECH CO., LTD. is up more than 7% in early trading.
According to MP Doctor on the 15th, as of 9:18 a.m. today, SAMYANG COMTECH CO., LTD. is trading at 6,160 won, up 7.32% from the previous trading day.
This is believed to have boosted investor sentiment after the company announced that its Gwangju and Anseong plants were each selected for a support program to introduce robots for manufacturing process automation and digital transformation.
The Gwangju plant was selected for the “2026 Manufacturing Robot Introduction Support Project” organized by Gyeonggi Technopark. SAMYANG COMTECH CO., LTD. expects to reduce work hours, improve defect rates, and cut labor costs by introducing robotic automation to the powder raw material press molding, molded part loading, and inspection processes in its alumina-based ceramic production line.
The Anseong plant was selected for the “2026 Advanced Manufacturing Robot Demonstration Project in the Future Mobility Sector,” organized by the Korea Robot Industry Promotion Agency. The company plans to apply robotic automation to its ceramic processing operations, automating the entire process from ceramic loading to processing, unloading, and inspection, thereby enhancing production efficiency and quality stability.
Through this project, SAMYANG COMTECH CO., LTD. plans to expand the automation of ceramic manufacturing and processing—a core material for bulletproof and protective products—and to improve production efficiency and yield rates. The company also intends to lay the groundwork for full-process automation and unmanned factory operations by applying robotic automation to key processes.
A SAMYANG COMTECH CO., LTD. official stated, “Being selected for this project will serve as an opportunity to raise the level of automation in the production and processing of bulletproof materials,” adding, “We will strengthen production efficiency, quality consistency, and cost competitiveness, and continue to expand the foundation for full-process automation.”
