[SIMTOS Story] NAMSUN MACHINERY CORP - 65 year-long History in Machine Tool Industry

NAMSUN MACHINERY CORP

- 65 year-long History in Machine Tool Industry -

 

 

 There is a company that has continued for 65 years based on the strong trust of customers for the technology. That's NAMSUN MACHINERY CORP is in the forefront of development of machine tool with determination that thing to save corporation is only technology.

 

 SIMTOS 2016 Secretariat visited NAMSUN MACHINERY CORP which recently enhance the status of domestic machine tools industry by being more active sales activities abroad and directly saw technology skills they have emphasized.

 

<SPHINX-5X/65>

 Last month completed internally the preview of energy saving 5-AXIS machine SPHINX-5X/65 in front of the release. After research and development for 5years, SPHINX-5X/65 that is created with energy saving factors such as lightweight design, standby strategy technology in peripheral equipment, monitoring technology during power consumption and etc shows incredible results that it could reduce more 50% power consumption compared with existing products.

 

<SPHINX-5X/30>

 SPHINX-5X/30 has good reactions in Europe. High speed 5-AXIS machine with the best specifications and performance to produce precision parts of clock, medical device and etc competes against products of prestigious global companies. Earlier this year NAMSUN MACHINERY CORP achieved the export contract to P company well-known as watch brand at the end of competing with German company and created an opportunity to instill a new awareness of the Korea machinery in the European market.

 

 Mr. Sohn of said NAMSUN MACHINERY CORP as the oldest machine tool company in Korea with pride in long history would keep proving the power of domestic machine tool around the world by making constant efforts to bring about the revolution.



[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).

[Amazing Korea] Korea’s ICT Industry Reached Record-high Trade Surplus Last Month

Excess of Export Korea’s ICT Industry Reached Record-high Trade Surplus Last Month

 

 

 

 

 The Ministry of Science, ICT & Future Planning announced on Oct. 13 that Korea’s ICT exports increased by 1.6 percent year-on-year last month to US$15.9 billion, the highest level since the beginning of this year. It added that the country’s ICT imports for Sept. increased by 1.4 percent from a year ago to US$7.77 billion, and the trade surplus reached a new high.

 Korea showed positive export growth in the ICT industry for two months in a row in spite of market research firm Gartner’s prediction that the global ICT market is likely to shrink by 4.9 percent this year and the fact that overall exports from Korea posted a decrease of 8.3 percent last month.

 The remarkable performance was led by digital TV suppliers as well as mobile phone and semiconductor exporters. Digital TV and component exports, which continued to fall year-on-year during the first eight months of this year, recorded an increase of 9.3 percent to US$610 million in Sept., while mobile phone and semiconductor exports rose 34.1 percent and 0.8 percent to US$2.83 billion and US$5.86 billion, respectively.

 On the contrary, the exports of display products declined 14.5 percent to US$2.68 billion, and those of computers and auxiliary equipment fell 9.0 percent to US$600 million during the same period.

[SIMTOS Story] When can we meet SIMTOS ?

When can we meet SIMTOS?

 Before & after SIMTOS WEEK(April), there is no related exhibition not only in Korea but
worldwide. Korea is world’s 5th machine tool producer and 4th consumer at the same time.
Thus, it is an important market worldwide. There are no such exhibition during 5 months
after SIMTOS WEEK(April) in China, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, and etc. It shows that
SIMTOS is competitive.

Only Machine Tool Exhibition in Even Years 

 

 SIMTOS is the only one that utilize KINTEX exhibition center 1 & 2. Also, in odd years, there are many machine-related exhibitions in Korea. However, SIMTOS is only one in even years.

SIMTOS Opens the Path to the World  

 Competitiveness of SIMTOS is ‘Present New Products’ and ‘First Step to Global Market’. During 2 years, SIMTOS exhibitors put their efforts to develop technology and prepare exhibition marketing. Then, they present new products and technology at SIMTOS. According to SIMTOS2014 statistics, average exhibit of SIMTOS exhibitors is 22.3. And 6 of them are new products. As new products 2,160(30.6%) out of total exhibit 7,050 shows, SIMTOS really is the platform of new products launch.
