[K-Reshoring Growth Strategy] ‘Packaging,’ the Key in the AI Semiconductor Era… Growing Interest in Nepes, a “Reshored Company”
Surging demand for advanced packaging driven by the expansion of AI semiconductors… fueling earnings rebound
Turnkey packaging and expanded domestic investment… moving toward building a “Korean-style value chain”
The paradigm of the semiconductor industry is rapidly being reshaped, with next-generation markets such as artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductors, autonomous driving, and high-performance computing (HPC) expanding. Accordingly, how efficiently multiple semiconductor chips can be interconnected has emerged as a key factor determining competitiveness in the semiconductor industry. This is precisely where packaging comes in. Packaging is the technology of encapsulating semiconductors with appropriate materials to protect them from external environments or to shape them for integration into electronic devices. A leading player in advanced packaging technology is Nepes, a company that has reshored its operations to Korea. Along with the paradigm shift in the semiconductor industry, Nepes is transforming itself from a simple backend process company into a key technology firm that determines semiconductor performance, leveraging its technological capabilities and proactive investments.
