ICH Obtains First-Tier Vendor Code from Samsung Electronics... "Direct Supply from Materials to Finished Products"

Advanced and composite materials specialist ICH has secured the foundation to supply products directly, from materials to finished goods, after obtaining a first-tier vendor code from Samsung Electronics.

ICH announced on October 26 that it had obtained a first-tier vendor code from Samsung Electronics. Until now, it had supplied products to Samsung Electronics through companies registered with first-tier vendor codes. With this latest code, ICH can now trade directly with Samsung Electronics.

Its main products include electromagnetic shielding gaskets, high-performance polyurethane (PU) foam, and film-type thin-film antennas (MFA). Recently, it has supplied electromagnetic shielding gaskets and cushioning materials used in foldable phones, expanding its supply to the premium smartphone lineup.

ICH expects its ability to respond to customers and its supply efficiency to improve now that it can directly supply finished goods as well as materials and semi-finished products. In particular, it plans to strengthen its capacity to respond at every stage, from product development to mass production and supply, by leveraging its vertically integrated production system.

ICH will also accelerate efforts to expand its partnership with Samsung Electronics following the acquisition of the first-tier vendor code. Along with developing technologies for new product applications and strengthening production competitiveness, it plans to expand its sales network to overseas customers by leveraging its track record as a Samsung Electronics supplier.

A company representative said, "Obtaining a first-tier vendor code from Samsung Electronics means we can now directly supply materials, semi-finished products, and finished goods. This is highly significant because it confirms that customers have confidence not only in our product quality but also in our mass-production capacity to ensure stable supply."

The representative added, "With the establishment of a direct supply system, we will strengthen our ability to serve customers and improve profitability by increasing efficiency."
