Saehan develops Prism Sheet and enters into its marketing activities in full swing

2007-08-30

 

Saehan announced on August 30 that it has developed an LCD prism sheet and entered into its marketing activities in full swing in the domestic and overseas markets.

 

The prism sheet mentioned above is a film applied to a back light unit (BLU) to enhance LCD’s brightness.

 

Among other things, the prism sheet (brand name: Lumism) developed by Saehan this time has secured cost competitiveness by enabling the shape of prism to be processed simultaneously as sheets are manufactured, unlike its existing competitors, and has come to be able to respond to diverse needs from customers by adjusting the thickness of sheets up to 120㎛ ~ 600㎛. Moreover, its additional strength lies in its excellent dimensional stability, thanks to application of highly heat-resistant and less hygroscopic materials, and the ability to provide a variety of functions to sheets themselves with ease.

 

“To begin with the 7th International Meeting on Information Display (IMID 2007), we plan to conduct aggressive marketing activities in the coming future by participating in major domestic and international exhibitions and otherwise,” said a Saehan official. “The Company plans to put further spurs to developing diverse display and optical materials in the future, by utilizing its accumulated technologies for synthesizing, processing and coating plastic. As its operations launch in full swing, this division’s sales are envisaged to reach 45 billion won in 2008 and 100 billion won in 2011.”

 

 

Saehan’s Ultramicro Filament Cleaning Products’ Sales Increase Steadily.

2007-06-25

 

Saehan’s Purimax, a cleaning product made of ultramicro filament textile, is steadily increasing in sales, thanks to the company’s continuing efforts for product development and sales promotion.

 

Purimax is a non-apparel textile product produced, using ultramicro filaments made of

a mixture of polyester or nylon, and is used mainly for home cleaning (e.g. as dish towels, cleaning cloth, bath articles, etc.) and cleaning optical items (e.g. as cleaning cloth for glasses, lenses, computer screens, etc.)

 

Saehan released this cleaning article, Purimax, in the market first in January 2005 and achieved 7.5 billion won of sales in the same year and 12 billion of sales in 2006. The company expects that its sales will reach 21 billion won this year.

 

In particular, Saehan is the only domestic textile manufacturer equipped with an integrated production system of its own, ranging from filaments to textile, dying and sewing processes. Therefore, the company has the strong point over its competitors in terms of shortened delivery time, reduced cost, etc.

 

“An investment in production of differentiated products, centering on non-apparel items, may serve as a breakthrough for Korean chemical fiber manufacturers that are presently in difficulties because of competition with their Chinese competitors,” said a Saehan official.

“At the moment, we are putting further spurs to the development of new products and quality improvement by establishing a task force with our business partners and holding a joint meeting every week.”

 

In the mean time, Saehan exports over 80% of Purimax mainly to America, Europe, Mexico, Turkey and Australia.
