SK IE Technology (SKIET), the material business subsidiary of SK Innovation, announced that it held The 3rd Third Annual General Meeting of Shareholders at SUPEX Hall, SK Building, Jongno-gu, Seoul, on the 28th.
“SK IE Technology is trying to establish a rapid growth portfolio as a Global Top Tier Material Company by sophisticating the world-class separator business and producing significant outcomes in new businesses, such as FCW (Flexible Cover Window),” said Roh Jae-sok, CEO of SKIET, at the annual general meeting of shareholders.
He added, “For the LiBS (Lithium-ion Battery Separator) business, the company has secured three business sites, the latest one in Silesia Province in Poland after one in Changzhou in China and the other in Jeungpyeong, Chungbuk Province, Korea. In particular, the plant in Poland has enabled us to set up a foundation to prepare for the rapidly growing Electric Vehicle (EV) market in Europe. And we will enhance our position in the global market based on our expanded production capacity in the future.”
He continued, “In terms of the FCW business, we have built a foundation for growth in preparation for the future expansion of the market.
