About Samsung Electro-Mechanics
Samsung Electro-Mechanics is a South Korean manufacturer of electronic components founded in 1973 and headquartered in Suwon. The company produces passive components such as MLCCs (Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors), inductors, chip resistors, tantalum and silicon capacitors as well as camera modules and package substrates for semiconductors. Manufacturing covers ceramic multilayer technologies, thin films, precision optics in glass and plastic, as well as assembly and packaging technology for electronic modules. Fields of application are Automotive/E-Mobility, computers, displays, mobile communications, wearables, AI servers, network, SSD and tablets. Production facilities are located, among others, in Sejong and Busan (South Korea), Tianjin and Goxin (China), Calamba (Philippines), Thailand and Vietnam; since 2021 the company has invested around 1.9 trillion KRW in the semiconductor package substrate business in Busan.
