[Monthly SIMTOS]SIMTOS to embrace the Middle East against the sandstorm!

SIMTOS to embrace the Middle East against the sandstorm!

- 20 buyers who have strong purchasing power from the Middle East to be invited to SIMTOS 2016

- Promotional stands to be installed in both Korea and UAE for the first time

- 3 Cooperative meetings with the exhibition organizers of metal manufacturing equipment from UAE and Egypt finished 

>> SIMTOS 2016 to be a Silk Road of exhibitors to export their products

The Secretariat has been inviting buyers who have strong purchasing power from rising countries as well as advanced countries to expand the market for exhibitors. In specific, the Secretariat has been networking with new buyers and exhibition organizers from all around the world, mainly popular countries among exhibitors. As one of their efforts to network, the Secretariat sent a delegation to UAE and Egypt from November 23^th to 27^th. The delegation had meetings with exhibition organizers to invite buyers from the Middle East.

As a result of the meetings, the exhibition organizers of UAE has decided to send 20 people as a visitors group and install promotional stands at their exhibitions for promoting SIMTOS and so has those of Egypt while the delegation of SIMTOS 2016 has agreed to participate in related exhibitions in the next January UAE and manage promotional stands for the first time in the Middle East. In other words, each country’s promotional activities will happen in both Korea and Middle East so that SIMTOS will make its position as a gate of entering into Korean machine tool and other markets.

>> SIMTOS are ready to become a legend of winning contracts of metal manufacturing machines against the sandstorm!

The delegation has found that Hallyu (the Korean wave) in machine tools and metal manufacturing machine is real thing in the Middle East. It is said that the Korean equipment is well known for its reasonable price and outstanding quality among those who used to use European metal manufacturing machines.

The Secretariat considers the meetings in the Middle East as an opportunity in the market where there has been visible increase of interest in manufacturing industry caused by growth of demand in heavy equipment. For exhibitors, it could be a chance to export their products to the Middle East and it could be a chance to establish networks with related overseas exhibition organizers for the Secretariat itself.

The Secretariat will support various marketing activities to make SIMTOS2016 become a Silk Road to the Middle East since the possibility of import and export of cutting-off machines and welding machines rather than metal cutting tool whose demand is stable in advanced countries is expected to grow.

>> SIMTOS is a certified check, Come and grab a chance of targeting the Middle East market.

There has been an early move to vitalize exporting and pioneer new markets through SIMTOS. For example, the Secretariat provides the ‘Online matching program’ and the program is called ‘Matchmaking4U (MM4U).’ It enables exhibitors and buyers to meet on the day of the exhibition after sharing information on interesting products online so that they can have effective business meetings. The program is designed to allow advance matchmaking between each exhibitor and buyer. Each of them chooses crucial information to find the optimal partner and check requirements for contracts. It leads to increase in the feasibility of actual contracts on the spot of the exhibition.   

The 17^th SIMTOS 2016 is schedule to be held from April 13^th to 17^th (5 days) at KINTEX, Korea. It is estimated that the exhibition will have approximately 6,200 stands of 1,000 companies from 35 countries. Visitors can register online in advance.

[SIMTOS Story] HK. Co., Ltd. -Leading Laser cutting machine Manufacturer

HK. Co., Ltd.

- Leading Laser cutting machine Manufacturer -

 

 

 HK. Co., Ltd has changed their 26 years-old name ‘Hangwang.’ Furthermore, it has completed the 3,600 square meters second factory, ‘Doyakgwan.’ Why has the company changed the name of it and completed its office building? MTM visited the CEO of HK. Co., Ltd, Gye Myeong-je and listened to the reasons and his opinion about ‘change.’

 

 Advance in industry has brought about complexity of forms and difference of materials which is hard to be made by the existing technology. ‘Laser’ has suddenly appeared like shine from the sky and become the mainstream. Laser cutting machine is suitable for small quantity batch production. It is economic so that its demand has been increasing.

 

 HK. Co., Ltd is one of the best laser cutting machine manufacturers in Korea. The company competes against world-famous German and Swiss companies.

 

 The company exports laser cutting machine to around 30 countries in the world including United States, China, Canada and Russia and has branches in United States, China and Turkey. What is the secret of its success despite of European and Japanese companies' dominance?

 

 The CEO of HK. Co., Ltd, Gye Myeong-je, pointed out contact service for various models as the first reason. Laser cutting machine enables users to make different metals such as iron plates, stainless steel and pipes. The company takes into account this feature and offers customized before and follow-up service. Another reason is constant employee training. He said that the competitiveness of the company is from ‘human resource’ and that is why the company fosters its own technology masters through its technology training center.

 

 “The most important thing is to invest in R&D continuously and decisively. In the past, other domestic companies made laser cutting machine, too. Companies have to invest technology development continuously to stay competitive but it is hard to do. Therefore, some companies hesitated to change and left laser cutting machine area.”

 

 On the contrary, HK. Co., Ltd, has been investing more than 10% of its revenue into R&D and the ratio of R&D employee accounts for 22%.

 

 Employees had to move along the place where products are placed a t the existing factory. However, the new manufacturing system has been invented and they do not need to move as products move on rails.

 

New name with New house

 

 HK. Co., Ltd has been evolving and changing relentlessly. I could not resist myself to ask the reasons why the company has changed its name and completed the new office building. The company gave up its 26-years-old name, ‘Hangwang.’ The CEO, Gye Myeong-je said that the main reason is that it is hard for overseas customers to pronounce the old name.

 

 Another changes are the newly-built second factory and the new office building. It is because that the previous factory could not accommodate the whole yield. In addition, the factory had not enough space for training curriculum for foreign dealers or customers and domestic customers.

 

Endless changes

 

 Change is not a strange thing to HK. Co., Ltd. The CEO, Gye Myeong-je emphasized “continuous technology development is required to compete against high-class companies in the world. It is directly connected to our survival. HK. Co., Ltd has currently established a supply chain to expand its business area along with its main area, laser cutting technology. In other words, it establishes a supply chain including bending machine, deburring tool and welding.

 The company buys bending machine and deburring tool which are quality and affordable on a large scale and offers those to customers at reasonable price.

 

 I asked the goal in the future. The CEO, Gye Myeong-je, reveal “The factory we have can produce abour 600 machine and the revenue is estimated to exceed 300,000,000,000 Won. We are planning to accomplish our short term goals first to become a world top 3 laser cutting machine manufacturer in a long-term following European and Japanese companies.

 It is expected that approximately 800 exhibitors and 100,000 visitors from all over the world will attend the biggest market place of manufacturing technology, SIMTOS. Both exhibitors and visitors will be exploring each other's products and technology to make business opportunities. Unfortunately, 5 days are not enough time to increase business possibility. That is why the secretariat has been making its effort to be a bridge between exhibitors and visitors. From 2014, the secretariat has launched its unique business meeting program, 'Matchmaking4U.' The program connects visitors to exhibitors so that exhibitors can make profits and go overseas. 

 In 2016, the secretariat has developed its own online matchmaking program to enable both exhibitors and visitors find each other easily and spontaneously. Each exhibitor and visitor enter their information online including interesting products, handling products and industrial fields and share the information to consider business possibility before the exhibition. It will lead to effective matching environment on the exhibition day. 

 * MatchMaking4U is an acronym of MatchMaking for you. It means a customized business meeting
   program of SIMTOS.

>> Online marketing information registration for SIMTOS exhibitors has successfully finished !

  As the first attempt to make a‘participation-oriented’exhibition, the secretariat has opened a service called ‘Online marketing information registration for exhibitors' and the number of exhibitors is 675.

  According to the analysis of online marketing information registration for exhibitors, 469 exhibitors, equivalent of 70% of exhibitors, has registered information such as handling products, interesting buyers, industry demand, bilingual ability and the person in charge. It is an indicator of change that exhibitors recognize the exhibition as an unmissable chance to find optimal partners effectively.

[Amazing Korea] Korea to Become Game Changer in Global Semiconductor Market

Korea to Become Game Changer

in Global Semiconductor Market

 

 

 

 

 Despite the recent decrease in semiconductor prices, Samsung Electronics posted double-digit growth in the global semiconductor market this year, being hot on the trail of the industry’s number one Intel.

 

 SK Hynix entered the top five list in the industry for the first time ever. Korean companies made advances this year, though sales of the U.S.’ semiconductor makers, including Intel and Qualcomm, showed decreases. There can be a transition of power in the industry after next year.

 

 According to the monthly report released by semiconductor market research firm IC Insights on Nov. 12, Samsung Electronics is expected to have US$41.6 billion (48.24 trillion won) of sales in the semiconductor market this year.

 

 It is combined figures in the memory semiconductor, in which Samsung Electronics has maintained its top place for 22 years in a row, and the system semiconductor and microprocessor chip sectors, in which the company is relatively weak.

 

 As Samsung Electronics increased sales by 10 percent from US$37.8 billion (43.83 trillion won) last year, the company also ranked top in terms of the growth rate among the top five companies with the highest sales. Samsung Electronics started mass production of 48-layer V-NAND flash memory chips, and began the 14nm FinFET manufacturing process in the system semiconductor sector this year, showing unrivaled competitiveness in technology.

 

 SK Hynix also showed good performance this year. As the company is likely to post US$16.9 billion (19.6 trillion won) in sales, up 4 percent from US$16.3 billion (18.9 trillion won), it moved into fourth place in the industry, surpassing Qualcomm and Micron. It is the first time for SK Hynix to join the top five list in the industry in the rankings released by IC Insights.

 

 However, overseas competitors showed relatively low results. As the estimated sales of Intel this year stood at US$50.3 billion (58.32 trillion won), down 2 percent year-on-year, the gap between Samsung Electronics narrowed to US$8.7 billion (10.09 trillion won). The sales difference between the two companies last year reached US$13.6 billion (15.77 trillion won).

 

 In addition, Qualcomm, which was considered to be the absolute power in the system semiconductor sector, is also expected to record US$15.6 billion (18.09 trillion won) of sales this year, showing a 19 percent decrease from the same period.

 

 The advances of Korean companies stand out more when reflecting the exchange rate effects. The report said that the won this year is devaluated by nearly 7 percent against the dollar compared to last year and sales of Samsung Electronics will reach US$44.8 billion (51.95 trillion won) if the exchange rates this year are same as last year.

 

 Then, the sales gap between Samsung Electronics and Intel will narrow even further to US$6 billion (6.96 trillion won). Based on such a calculation, sales of SK Hynix will also surge to a whopping US$18.2 billion (21.1 trillion won).
