- APS Inc. is a South Korea-based technology and operating company that manufactures and markets semiconductor equipment, display materials, advanced components, and industrial automation software. The company operates across multiple specialized segments, including Semiconductor Equipment, Display Solutions, Advanced Materials, Control Software, and Industrial Systems. Its product and service portfolio comprises semiconductor wafer dicing saws; process temperature control chillers; laser-patterned Fine Metal Masks (FMM) engineered for high-density Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) and Micro-OLED (OLEDoS) vapor deposition; laser lift-off (LLO) and excimer laser annealing (ELA) display fabrication systems; ECO-Almag high-performance aluminum alloy materials; water electrolysis electrodes for green hydrogen production; optical semiconductor defect inspection and metrology tools; secondary battery manufacturing equipment; factory automation and equipment control software solutions; and industrial transformer manufacturing machinery. The company caters to integrated device manufacturers, flat-panel display producers, renewable energy developers, and electronic component makers across South Korea, China, and global technology markets. Founded in 1994, APS Inc. is headquartered in Hwaseong-si, South Korea, and oversees a network of operating subsidiaries that includes AP Systems Corp., DE&T Co., Ltd., Nextin, Inc., Kornic Automation Co., Ltd., and UPI Co., Ltd.
In recent developments, the company reorganized its corporate identity and business model, rebranding from APS Holdings Corporation to APS Inc. to transition from a pure holding structure into an integrated materials, parts, and equipment operating enterprise. In July 2024, APS Inc. completed the absorption-merger of its subsidiary APS Materials to internalize core laser-based Fine Metal Mask manufacturing technologies targeted at 8.6-generation IT OLED production lines and next-generation virtual reality micro-displays. In April 2026, the company completed the absorption-merger of semiconductor parts subsidiary Zenith World to streamline operations for ECO-Almag advanced materials and clean hydrogen electrode manufacturing. Additionally, in July 2026, APS Inc. acquired a 100% equity stake in transformer manufacturing equipment specialist UPI to diversify its portfolio into power equipment and heavy industrial manufacturing.
