As we expand into the chemical materials market, our collaboration with KOMSCO serves as a model of how strategic partnerships can deliver tangible results. This will represent an important opportunity to strengthen cooperation, drive mutual growth, and create shared value.”
Lee Jong-sun, KOMSCO’s CTO (Chief Technology Officer), added, “We hope that expanded cooperation in anti-counterfeiting R&D will become a new growth driver for next-generation anti-counterfeiting technologies.”
