- CIAAT Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based technology and chemical products manufacturing company specializing in dye-diffusion thermal transfer (D2T2) printing solutions and imaging equipment. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Gwangju, South Korea, the company was formerly known as Digicube Co., Ltd. before rebranding to CIAAT Co., Ltd. in January 2011, and trades on the Korea New Exchange (KONEX: 103660). The company operates across specialized hardware and consumable printing segments, developing and manufacturing dye-sublimation photo paper, receiver media, and sticker rolls; color and monochrome thermal ink ribbons, including full-panel YMCKO, YMCKOK, and protective overcoat ribbon formulations; direct-to-card identification printers, such as the CTC-940 series used for issuance of corporate badges, student credentials, and membership cards; commercial dye-sublimation photo and sticker printers, including the Brava 21 series tailored for photo booths, retail kiosks, and event photography; portable and home instant photo printers under the PhotoBee product line; and proprietary IC-chip-secured cartridge systems and maintenance accessories. CIAAT Co., Ltd. supplies its hardware and consumables to commercial photo studios, amusement and event operators, identity card issuers, and consumer markets throughout South Korea and internationally across Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region. In recent corporate developments, the company implemented executive leadership changes, including the appointment of new representative directorship in 2026, while conducting investor relations initiatives on the KONEX market. Additionally, the company has undertaken operational restructuring and capital management measures, including private placement equity financing rounds, to strengthen its financial position and expand distribution channels for its next-generation thermal media and kiosk-integrated photo printing systems.
