- KNW Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based advanced materials manufacturing company that specializes in the development, production, and distribution of high-technology functional materials and chemical components for the semiconductor, electronic display, and automotive industries. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, the company operates across three primary business divisions: Semiconductor Materials, Electronic and Display Materials, and Automotive Parts. The company's product portfolio comprises semiconductor specialty gases, including high-purity fluorine (F2) gas, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and customized fluorine mixtures used for chamber cleaning and wafer etching processes; electronic and display materials, including functional optical films, design-oriented films for PDP and LCD display filters, mobile display filter films, silicone printing blankets for precision electronics manufacturing, and specialty coating agents such as hard coatings, bead coatings, and anti-fingerprint coatings; and automotive components, including flame-retardant laminating sponge materials, inorganic wire-fixing tapes for heated seat systems, anti-vibration damping materials, and specialized non-woven felt fabrics for vehicle interior seat assembly. The company serves global electronics manufacturers, semiconductor foundries, and Tier-1 automotive suppliers, maintaining manufacturing and sales operations in South Korea along with international production and business subsidiaries in China and Vietnam. In recent corporate developments, KNW underwent a major ownership change and strategic reorganization following the acquisition of a controlling majority stake by BGF Ecomaterials, integrating the company into the BGF Group to accelerate expansion in the specialty chemical sector. Through the operational integration of its fluorine manufacturing subsidiary Fluorine Korea (operating as BGF EcoSpecialty), the company has strengthened its semiconductor fluorine supply chain infrastructure, expanded production capabilities for high-purity electronic gases, and broadened its strategic focus toward next-generation functional materials for electric vehicles and advanced microelectronics.
