[Edaily Reporter Kim Hyung-il ] #AI Korea Co., Ltd., a company specializing in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) and process automation, announced on the 9th that it has secured a contract for mechanical and electrical equipment installation at a production facility within the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster, thereby expanding its business scope into the semiconductor industry.

EPC is a business model in which design (Engineering), equipment procurement (Procurement), and construction (Construction) are carried out as a single integrated project. AI Korea Co., Ltd. views this contract as significant because it marks the expansion of its construction capabilities—previously focused on Central Electrolyte Supply Systems (CESS) for rechargeable battery production facilities—into the semiconductor equipment sector.

CESS is a system that stores electrolyte and supplies it stably to production lines during the lithium-ion battery manufacturing process. Electrolyte is a substance that acts as a pathway for lithium ions to move within the battery. AI Korea Co., Ltd. has accumulated expertise in precision piping installation, fluid transfer and control, and leak management by supplying CESS to the production lines of the three major domestic battery manufacturers’ plants in Europe and North America.

The company plans to apply the quality and safety management experience it has gained in the rechargeable battery production process to this mechanical equipment construction project for semiconductor production facilities. Through this, it aims to demonstrate its construction competitiveness and secure a solid track record in the domestic semiconductor equipment market. It also plans to expand its participation in future projects involving the construction and expansion of semiconductor factories and the installation of related equipment.

AI Korea Co., Ltd. has identified semiconductors, physical artificial intelligence (AI), and AI data centers as next-generation growth areas and is actively seeking business opportunities. The company’s strategy is to strengthen its business foundation in the so-called “three major megaprojects” by leveraging its precision construction and equipment control capabilities required across all advanced industrial facilities.

The company is also pursuing collaboration in the smart safety sector. On the 15th of last month, AI Korea Co., Ltd. presented its safety technologies and business direction at the “2026 Smart Safety Tech Day.” Building on its partnership with the Korea Smart Construction Safety Association, the company plans to expand its network with construction firms and smart safety technology companies and identify joint business opportunities that combine its high-precision construction capabilities with smart safety technologies.

AI Korea Co., Ltd. official stated, “This contract win is a testament to our construction and quality management capabilities—which were validated in the secondary battery CESS sector—being recognized even in the semiconductor sector, where entry barriers are high,” adding, “We will execute the project reliably to establish a solid track record and carry this business momentum forward into next-generation high-tech industries, such as AI data centers.”
