EV Group (EVG) is to open a new subsidiary in Seoul, Korea to serve as a direct-to-customer site for sales, service and support efforts for EVG's existing and potential new customer base in the country due to the growth of business there. 

“The opening of our own subsidiary in Korea affords us a great opportunity to continue delivering on that commitment in this burgeoning market for EVG,” said Hermann Waltl, EVG's Senior Vice President of Sales. “The growth we've seen in our customer base thus far, coupled with the market potential, makes this move a clear and natural progression for us.  “This creates significant market potential for EVG, particularly in areas such as 3D stacking, advanced chip-to-wafer integration, as well as wafer-to-wafer bonding.”

EVG has collaborated with Jinsan Scientific Co., Ltd. and Jinsan Micro-engineering Ltd. to open a cleanroom facility, known as JML lab.  This facility is for R&D efforts for MEMS, advanced packaging and nanoimprint lithography applications.

EVG is also in close partnership with the BioIT National Foundry Center, which was established by Korea's Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy.  The Center is based at Seoul National University.
