On September 8, Kolon Industries held a completion ceremony for the mPPO production facility at its Gimcheon Plant 2, with CEO Heo Sung and Gimcheon Mayor Bae Nakho, among others, in attendance.

mPPO is a high-performance material used in AI accelerators and 6G communication devices. It is applied to copper-clad laminates (CCL), a key material for high-performance circuit boards, and helps reduce signal loss and heat generation during data transmission. In particular, its low dielectric performance is approximately three to five times superior to epoxy resin, making it well-suited for high-speed, high-capacity data processing.

The company began production in the second half of the year and plans to gradually increase output through the end of the year. Currently, all mPPO products produced are being supplied to major global CCL companies.

The company expects that once full-scale mass production begins, revenue from the mPPO line alone will exceed 200 billion won annually.

CEO Heo Sung stated, "This marks a turning point as the mPPO business enters a full-fledged growth phase," adding, "We will nurture next-generation electronic materials as a new growth engine."

Gimcheon Mayor Bae Nakho commented, "We will spare no administrative support so that companies can grow stably and continue their investments."
