(098460.KQ) develops and manufactures advanced 3D inspection systems for the electronics manufacturing industry, specializing in solder paste inspection (SPI), automated optical inspection (AOI), and 3D metrology solutions. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of products including the Zenith series for high-speed 2D/3D AOI, the KSMART software platform for real-time process optimization and AI-driven yield management, and volumetric measurement systems like the Kylix for component height and coplanarity analysis; these solutions support surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly lines, semiconductor packaging, and advanced packaging applications such as flux inspection and die placement verification. Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, and founded in 2002, Koh Young operates globally with subsidiaries and sales offices in the United States, Europe, Japan, China, and Southeast Asia, serving electronics manufacturers in consumer devices, automotive, telecommunications, and aerospace sectors.
In recent developments, the company expanded its AI capabilities through the launch of KSMART AIP (AI Process Control) in 2024, enhancing predictive analytics for defect prevention and process control across SMT lines. Koh Young formed strategic partnerships, including a collaboration with Yamaha Robotics in 2025 to integrate inspection data with robotic soldering systems for next-generation smart factories, and acquired a minority stake in a European software firm to bolster its Industry 4.0 offerings. Additionally, it announced a new production facility in Vietnam in late 2024 to support growing demand in Southeast Asia and completed a KRW 150 billion funding round led by existing investors to fuel R&D in hybrid bonding inspection for advanced semiconductors.
