Adeca Korea invests 90 billion won in expansion of Wanju factory... Precursor production

Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province announced on the 13th that it signed a written investment agreement worth 90 billion won with Adeca Korea Co., Ltd. to expand semiconductor material production facilities in Factory 2 of the Wanju Industrial Complex.

The province explained that this is significant in that it has been four months since signing the investment agreement for the expansion of the third factory, and that it can increase the competitiveness of the semiconductor materials industry in the province.

Adeca Korea plans to begin expansion construction in December of this year and complete it in July 2028. Afterwards, it will undergo test runs and begin production of precursors used to form dielectric films for capacitors, a key component of semiconductors.

Precursors are materials that require high technology and quality control to respond to the miniaturization and high integration of semiconductors.

The province expects that if a system is established to directly produce semiconductor materials domestically, which used to depend on imports, it will not only reduce production costs but also provide a stable supply of products.

Yoo Hee-sook, head of the provincial business attraction support office, said, “We will spare no effort in providing administrative support so that the continued growth of companies and additional investments can lead to local economic development.”
