Business
Kyungin Synthetic Co., Ltd. (012610.KS), also known as KISCO, develops, manufactures and sells dyes, inks, fine chemicals and functional materials for textiles, food, agriculture, electronics, displays and semiconductors. The company offers reactive dyes, disperse dyes, acid dyes, CDP basic dyes, optical brightening agents and dyes for inks; digital textile printing inks and UV printing inks; electronic materials including photoresists and photosensitive compounds; fine chemicals such as saccharin, sulfur products, BCMB and SOP; and organic materials encompassing pigments, photoactive compounds and functional materials for LCD, OLED, QD displays and image sensors. Founded in 1971 and headquartered at 572 Gonghang-daero, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, South Korea, KISCO operates ten large-scale production facilities in Korea, one in Turkey and an R&D center in Seoul, with global operations serving customers worldwide through subsidiaries and joint ventures including JMC (acquired 2004, specializing in saccharin and sulfur-based chemicals), Daito-KISCO (established 2005 with Japan's Daito Chemix for photoresist raw materials, with 2019 Iksan plant expansion) and WiseChem (established 2010 with Korea Alcohol Industry for display pigments). Recent developments include a September 2025 global collaboration with Coloro to integrate KISCO's dyestuff formulations into Coloro's color intelligence system for enhanced supply chain efficiency and sustainability; the launch of NaturePlus reactive dyes, which reduce resource use and carbon footprint by up to 50% while being free from banned aryl amines; participation in industry events such as FESPA 2025 in Berlin, CPHI Frankfurt 2025 and the 2025 KISCO Product Seminar in Cairo; and ongoing investments in facilities like the Iksan 3rd General Industrial Complex (initiated 2018, first stage opened 2020) to support electronics materials growth.
