ChemTros Achieves Record First-Half Results This Year... Operating Profit Surges

ChemTros, a company specializing in advanced chemical materials, reported improved sales and profitability for the first half of this year, driven by the growth of its semiconductor materials business.

On August 13, ChemTros announced that its sales for the first half of 2026 reached 41.3 billion won, marking a 53.5% increase compared to the same period last year. The company also posted an operating profit of 5.8 billion won for the first half, turning around from an operating loss of 600 million won in the first half of the previous year.

The strong performance was primarily led by rapid growth in the semiconductor materials business. Semiconductor materials sales reached 20.9 billion won in the first half, up 161.3% year-on-year. The proportion of semiconductor materials in total sales also rose from approximately 30% last year to about 51% in the first half of this year.

ChemTros is expanding its semiconductor materials business, focusing on photoresist (PR) process materials used in photolithography (Photo) steps. Leveraging its proprietary synthesis and high-purity refining technologies, the company supplies key materials for advanced microfabrication processes. Recently, it has strengthened its portfolio by expanding into EUV process material product lines within semiconductor process materials.

A ChemTros representative stated, "By expanding sales of semiconductor materials and improving cost ratios, we have achieved growth in both sales and profitability."
