Business
HB Technology Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based company primarily engaged in the development, manufacture, and distribution of automated optical inspection systems, laser repair machinery, and precision optical materials for the flat panel display, semiconductor, and secondary battery industries. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Asan-si, South Korea, the company operates primarily through two core business divisions: the Equipment Division and the Component and Materials Division. The company's product and service portfolio includes Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems for liquid crystal displays (LCD), active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) panels, and printed circuit boards; laser repair systems engineered to eliminate micro-defects and restore circuit connectivity on display panels; high-precision optical inspection and repair tools for next-generation glass-core semiconductor substrates; integrated external inspection systems for secondary battery cells; edge crack testing machines; printed circuit board thickness gauges; die-matching meters; light guide plates (LGP) and light diffusion plates utilized in display backlight units (BLUs); and comprehensive equipment installation, calibration, refurbishment, and technical maintenance services. HB Technology serves tier-one technology conglomerates, display manufacturers, and clean-energy producers across South Korea, China, the United States, and broader international markets. In recent operational developments, the company has accelerated its strategic diversification into advanced semiconductor packaging technologies and electric vehicle battery supply chains. Most notably, HB Technology has positioned itself as a core equipment supplier in the commercial glass substrate sector, securing agreements to provide specialized high-precision AOI and laser repair equipment to Absolics for its manufacturing operations in Georgia, United States. Furthermore, the company has expanded its equipment offerings to support Gen 8.6 IT OLED production lines for major global display panel makers and widened the commercial footprint of its automated surface defect inspection systems within the secondary battery manufacturing sector.
