[E-Daily Reporter JAEMIN SONG ] SamsungElectroMechanics has received the highest rating in the Shared Growth Index evaluation for the third consecutive year, in recognition of its achievements in expanding communication with business partners and supporting their efforts to strengthen competitiveness.

SamsungElectroMechanics announced on the 11th that it had earned the highest rating in the “2026 Shared Growth Index” evaluation released by the Shared Growth Committee and was selected as a “Top Honorary Company.”

The Shared Growth Index is a system designed to evaluate the level of shared growth achieved by individual companies to promote mutual prosperity between large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It combines the results of the Shared Growth Committee’s comprehensive evaluation with the Fair Trade Commission’s assessment of agreement compliance, categorizing companies into five grades: “Excellent,” “Good,” “Average,” “Inadequate,” and “Very Inadequate.”

This year, SamsungElectroMechanics held events such as “Mutual Growth Cooperation Day” and on-site communication forums with partner companies to share key management updates and business directions. Senior management visited partner companies’ manufacturing sites in person to listen to their concerns and discuss practical support measures.

The company is also continuing to provide on-site support to enhance its partners’ technological and quality competitiveness. This involves dispatching experts in development, technology, and quality to partner companies and providing training tailored to each company’s specific circumstances, as well as supporting improvements to production sites.

Going forward, SamsungElectroMechanics plans to continue initiatives such as the Mutual Growth Fund, patent sharing, productivity and quality improvements, and safety and environmental enhancements, while also expanding customized technical training incorporating artificial intelligence (AI).

Previously, SamsungElectroMechanics signed an “Agreement to Strengthen the Partner Company Ecosystem” last year with the Shared Growth Committee and its partner companies. Accordingly, the company plans to provide approximately 200 billion won over a three-year period from 2025 to 2027 to foster a shared growth ecosystem.
