2. History and Workforce
Founded in 2003, the company has developed secondary battery electrode-process equipment based on precision roll-to-roll (R2R) technology. Since developing a high-speed, wide-width coater for lithium-ion battery electrodes in 2012, it states it has established itself as a total solution provider supplying core equipment for EV, ESS, and mobile applications. In the first half of 2023, it established its battery and materials subsidiary ‘PNT Materials,’ which is building an LFP battery and cathode material production plant near the Gumi headquarters.
The company operates several business divisions including secondary battery, materials, precision automation, and pharmaceutical/medical. Detailed workforce composition is (undisclosed).
3. Core Technology and Key Equipment
The company has developed in-house the 3 major electrode-process equipment types — coater, calender (roll press), slitter, and notching machine — and supplies high-speed, wide-width equipment for mass production (substrate thickness 6 μm, width 1400 mm, production speed 100 m/min or higher).
- High-speed wide-width coater (developed 2012, for electrodes)
- Electrode calender (roll press)
- Electrode slitter — applies block-knife cartridge unit
- Electrode notching machine
- Dry electrode manufacturing equipment, press equipment for solid-state batteries (under development)
4. Production Infrastructure and Quality Assurance
The company has production and research facilities at its Gumi headquarters, and states it has also established an anode current-collector production system through its Chinese subsidiary. Through its subsidiary PNT Materials, it is building a plant targeting annual production of 0.2 GWh of LFP batteries and 6,000 tons of cathode material. Detailed clean-room and capacity figures are (undisclosed).
5. Delivery Track Record and Partnerships
It is known within the industry to have a supply track record to Korea’s 3 major battery makers — Samsung SDI, LG Chem (LG Energy Solution), and SK Innovation (SK On). Specific delivery years and amounts are (undisclosed).
6. Financial Status and Roadmap
As a KOSDAQ-listed company (137400), its financial statements are disclosed through the Data Analysis, Retrieval and Transfer System (DART).
