Headquartered in Anseong, Gyeonggi-do, Mico Ceramics has continuously grown since the establishment of its 1st (2011), 2nd (2017), and 3rd factories (2021), in response to the semiconductor industry's growth and the increasing demand for ceramic components.
As of last year, the company has reported a sales revenue of KRW 220.2 billion, with a total of 467 employees, 153 of whom work at the Gangneung factory.
The city expects the operation of the 4th factory to further strengthen the company's production capabilities while contributing to the revitalization of the local economy.
The mayor of Gangneung-si said, "We will continue to provide administrative and financial support to ensure that Mico Ceramics leads the local semiconductor industry. Additionally, we will do our best to make Gangneung a business-friendly city."
