[Edaily Reporter Kim Hyung-il ] HK CO., LTD.(044780), a company specializing in laser processing equipment, announced on the 8th that it has secured a cumulative total of 300 clients in the U.S.

Since establishing its U.S. subsidiary, HK CO., LTD., in 1999, HK has been steadily expanding its customer base, with the number of clients growing at an average annual rate of 20.1%. Over the past three years alone, the company has added 42 new clients.

Repeat purchases are also continuing. Approximately 30% of all clients have purchased two or more laser processing machines, and about 10% have purchased five or more. HK CO., LTD. explained that establishing a service network and maintenance response system staffed by local U.S. personnel has been instrumental in strengthening the brand’s competitiveness.

HK CO., LTD. anticipates that demand for laser processing machines will increase in line with expanding manufacturing investments in the U.S. The company explained that as global corporations move to build new or expand existing production facilities in the U.S., investment in the entire manufacturing infrastructure—from factory construction to production equipment and the establishment of automated production lines—is expanding.

In particular, the company is focusing on the potential for increased demand as domestic and international companies continue to invest in the U.S. across the semiconductor, shipbuilding, and energy infrastructure sectors. HK CO., LTD. anticipates that demand for metal processing equipment—necessary for producing machinery and components—will grow once projects such as the “MASGA” initiative for rebuilding the U.S. shipbuilding industry, semiconductor production bases, and energy infrastructure expansion projects gain full momentum.

HK CO., LTD.’s laser processing machines are manufacturing-based equipment used to cut metal materials and are utilized in the production of machinery and components. Leveraging its high-power, high-performance laser processing technology and competitive local service capabilities, HK CO., LTD. is expanding its supply track record in global markets, including the U.S. and Europe.

HK CO., LTD. officials stated, “The fact that our cumulative number of U.S. clients has surpassed 300 signifies that the competitiveness of our equipment and services is consistently recognized in the demanding U.S. manufacturing market,” adding, “As the U.S. accelerates its manufacturing revival and local investments by Korean companies become more active, we expect demand for related equipment to continue to grow.”

The official added, “We will actively leverage our existing customer base and local network to further expand our market share in North America, focusing on growth industries such as semiconductors, shipbuilding, and energy.”
