Kim Young-seop, President and CEO of Toray Advanced Materials Korea(TAK), received the Industrial Service Medal at the 2026 Foreign Company Day ceremony for his contributions to expanding domestic investment and strengthening Korea’s advanced materials industry.

From 2023 to 2025, Kim led investments totaling approximately KRW 500 billion, primarily in the Gumi and Saemangeum National Industrial Complexes, expanding domestic advanced materials production capacity and supporting high-value-added industrial development.

TAK strengthened its supply capabilities by adding MLCC film production lines 13 and 14, carbon fiber line 3, and meta-aramid fiber line 2 at the Gumi National Industrial Complex. It also added PPS line 2 at the Saemangeum National Industrial Complex, helping stabilize advanced materials supply chains and expand the industrial ecosystem.

President Kim has also expanded strategic partnerships and strengthened technological competitiveness in emerging sectors, including future mobility, aerospace, and advanced electronic materials, contributing to national industrial development and export competitiveness. TAK has continued to expand exports, receiving the USD 800 Million Export Tower Award in 2023.

He has also promoted corporate social responsibility through community contributions, shared-growth programs, and stronger ESG management.

“This medal is a meaningful recognition made possible by the efforts of all TAK employees and the support of our customers,” President Kim said. “We will continue to do our utmost to strengthen the competitiveness of Korea’s advanced materials industry through sustained investment and research and development.”
