- All-new custom factory expected to enhance service levels and expand presence in Asia-Pacific
region
Today, CoorsTek held a grand opening ceremony at their newest technical ceramics
manufacturing facility in South Korea. Significant increases in demand for high-purity and other
specialty ceramics, primarily for the semiconductor manufacturing and flat-panel display industries,
fueled the additional facility.
The grand opening started at 11:30 a.m. local time and included Mr. Nam Yoo-Chin, Mayor of
Gumi City; Mr. KwanYong Kim, Governor of Gyeonsgsangbuk-do; Mr. TaeHwan Kim, Member of

Mark Petty, Executive Vice President of CoorsTek, Inc.; Mr. Cha Eun-Suk, President of CoorsTek
Korea, and roughly 200 spectators.
The new facility, located in Gumi City, Korea, will be more than three times larger than their
current location in Kyungbook and will serve as a manufacturing hub for most of Asia to
accommodate continued market growth in the sector. For neighboring customers including
Samsung, LG Phillips LCD, Hynix, and Magnachip Semiconductor, CoorsTek expects to offer
enhanced customer interaction, higher regionally-built content, and improved service levels.
"This new, modern facility will significantly expand our capability and presence in the Asia-Pacific
region to serve customers worldwide," states Mr. Eun-Suk Cha, President of CoorsTek Korea, part
