Exports of semiconductors decreased by 3% year-on-year to $9.6 billion. They had been increasing year-on-year for 15 consecutive months until January, but turned downward for the first time in 16 months. High value-added products such as high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and DDR5 showed good performance, but the fixed prices of general-purpose memory such as DDR4 and NAND fell sharply.

Computer exports increased 28.5% year-on-year to $800 million, increasing for the 14th consecutive month. Moreover, wireless communications devices increased 42.3% year-on-year to $1.5 billion.
Automobile exports increased 17.8% year-on-year to $6.1 billion, rebounding for the first time in four months. This was due to the exports of hybrid cars increasing by more than 50% year-on-year. Bio-health’s exports were recorded at $1.4 billion, up 16.1% year-on-year.
Petroleum’s products recorded $3.9 billion, down 12.2% year-on-year. This is because the international product prices of gasoline and diesel fell by more than 10% year-on-year.
By region, exports increased in four out of nine major markets, including the United States. Exports to the USA increased 1% year-on-year to $9.9 billion. Exports to China decreased 1.4% over the same period to $9.5 billion. However, exports of wireless communication devices and general machinery showed a favorable trend, partially offsetting the slowdown in semiconductor exports.
Exports to ASEAN increased in both semiconductors and petroleum products, the two largest export items. Exports increased 12.6% year-on-year to $9.6 billion, the second largest amount ever for February.
Korean exporters are seeking to achieve expanded export results, and auto parts manufacturers are striving to elevate their presence in global markets.

Oil Filters
Up to 75% of the causes of malfunctions in the moving parts of the engine can be attributed to unwanted particles in the oil. It is thus the oil filter’s job to remove these particles from the oil flow to help prevent early component wear and system failure. Clean oil is essential for efficiency and preventing decreases in the engine’s performance, and increases in fuel consumption. Passenger car filters emphasize compact size, standard filtration efficiency, and affordability.
Jaun’s spin-on oil filter is a complete filtering system, and is a type of filter attached to the vehicle by screwing it in. The filtering material is inside the filter box (cartridge). In Spin-on oil filters, both separation performance and pollution-holding capacity are greatly increased by optimizing the filter media structure.
Jaun’s elements oil filter is used and replaced only as filter elements. Environmentally ecologically defined filters for new-generation vehicles are produced with plastic and cellulosic materials without the use of metal parts.
“We have been growing together with clients, and will become a partner that continuously conducts research and strives to help our clients develop. We are constantly striving to develop new filtration solutions and best product quality,” remarked the company’s CEO.

Automobile Air Conditioning System Parts

March 24, 2025 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2503M03] KOR.E International Co., Ltd. is a trading company specializing in exporting and manufacturing the parts for automobile air conditioning systems. Its main export destinations are located in Europe including Italy, Germany, Spain and Poland, as well as Asian countries such as Singapore, India, Vietnam, Malaysia and Taiwan.
KOR.E International also exports its products to the Middle East (Saudi Arabia), Africa (Egypt, Algeria), Latin America (Brazil, Columbia, Panama, Chile), etc.
The company’s exports are finished products and various parts such as air conditioning systems and auto spare parts. It is exporting brazing equipment which is a production facility of A/C condensers, evaporators and radiators out of the air conditioning parts.

Clients include Doowon Corporation, KB Auto-Tech, Daihan Calsonic Co., Ltd. and MACS (Mobile Air Conditioning Society) members in the USA as dealer contractors and export license agreement businesses for purchased products. Its main exports are condensers, compressors, evaporators, hoses & pipes, and filters for automobile air conditioners, radiators for automobile engines, and auto spare parts.
The A/C condenser is located in the very front of the automobile engine room and serves to cool the high-temperature, high-pressure air-conditioner refrigerant delivered from the compressor and to convert it into the liquid-state refrigerant.
The compressor is powered by the engine of the automobile and repeats the process of sucking, compressing and circulating the refrigerant. The compressor compresses the refrigerant in the low-pressure gas state, changes it into the high-temperature, high-pressure gas state, sends it to the condenser, sucks the refrigerant in the evaporator and evaporates it to perform a cooling function.
The evaporator changes the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant in the wet saturated steam state into gas (superheated steam) by heat exchange with indoor and outdoor air of the automobile. The air that has lost its heat is changed into a low-temperature, low-humidity condition, and this air is discharged to the inside of the vehicle by a blower to keep the indoor environment of the car comfortable.
The hose and pipe act as a passageway conveying the refrigerant of the air conditioning system. As the radiator absorbs the heat generated by the car engine, the temperature of the warmed coolant gets lowered while it passes through the radiator. The cooled coolant then flows back into the engine and cools the engine. And this process is repeated. The radiator is a heat exchanger that allows the car engine to maintain a reasonable temperature by cooling the warmed coolant.

March 24, 2025 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

The 16th edition of Automec 2025 will be taking place between April 22 and 26, 2025, at the São Paulo Expo, Brazil, with the anticipation by Korean automotive parts makers and exporters to promote their competitive products in the region.
Automec is the largest automotive parts fair in Latin America, held every two years. It is an important event where all the major players in the automotive parts industry gather in one place ― including key parts companies, parts wholesalers and retailers, and auto repair centers.

Automec is an event where visitors can see new products from automotive parts companies, as well as the latest machinery, services, and solutions. Many buyers from Brazil’s domestic automotive industry as well as neighboring countries in Latin America visit the exhibition. It is thus considered as an exhibition that is very suitable for Korean companies to develop markets and source business partners in Latin America.
According to the Automec Organizing Committee, Automec is the world’s third-largest automotive parts fair in terms of the number of participants, following the United States and China, and boasts the world’s largest scale in terms of the numbers of visitors.

Automec 2025 is expected to bring together more than 700 foreign companies that operate in the entire chain of auto parts, equipment and services for all types of vehicles.
At the Korean Pavilions, face-to-face consultations between Korea’s participating companies and overseas buyers will be held, and there will be post-event procedures for generating results after the exhibition ends.
In line with the characteristics of the local automobile market, KOTRA plans to hold a Brazilian auto parts investment seminar, and online/offline export consultations, along with the operation of the Korean Pavilions. At the investment seminar, automakers that have entered the Brazilian market and auto parts experts will explain the sustainability of the internal combustion engine parts market and the necessity of local investment.

Power Supply Units for Electric Vehicle Chargers

March 24, 2025 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2503M01] AHA Co., Ltd. recently announced that its 30kW power supply unit (PSU) for electric vehicle (EV) chargers, the first of its kind in Korea, has received UL certification. Through this, the company has secured a bridgehead for entering the U.S. market.
While Korean companies’ EV-charging infrastructure product lines are gaining prominence in the global EVC markets, PSUs, the core equipment of electric vehicle chargers, are still heavily dependent on Chinese products.
Since PSUs are expensive components, the Korean PSUs obtaining UL certification is all the more significant amid the recent U.S.-China trade dispute.
AHA’s 30kW PSU combines multiple low-power PSUs to provide a wide output voltage range of 300V to 1000V DC, and a maximum current of 100A. By applying power factor correction (PFC) technology, the product has achieved high efficiency of up to 96% and low standby power, and its patented PSU address auto-setting technology enables rapid diagnosis and replacement in the event of a failure.
AHA’s 30kW PSU was finally selected as a verification test product for the Ministry of Environment’s research project to strengthen the competitiveness of electric vehicle rapid charger PSUs conducted last year. It passed the Energy Star efficiency, reliability, and safety tests set by the Ministry of Environment, verifying its excellent performance.
Based on this success, AHA applied for slow chargers and fast chargers at the same time for the business operator selection contest of the 2025 charging facility subsidy payment project, and is currently waiting for the results.
AHA has invested more than KRW 1 billion in slow & fast chargers and PSU automatic inspection and durability test equipment, and is aiming to develop a 40kW PSU and a 480kW power bank by the end of 2025. After moving the R&D center to Magok-dong, Seoul, the company is converting the Gimpo headquarters in Gyeonggi-do into an electric vehicle charger production line, and is thus building the largest production base in Korea. AHA is currently negotiating with multiple companies for consignment production.
AHA has been exhibited EV chargers and PSUs at major international exhibitions such as CES 2024, GITEX 2024, and ISE 2025. It has received favorable reviews from overseas EV and PSU manufacturers, etc. AHA expects that overseas exports will begin in earnest with this UL certification.
