Namoo Technology announced on the 15th that its subsidiary SK Pack succeeded in attracting 6.5 billion won in investment at the pre-IPO stage. SK Pack is a company specializing in designing and manufacturing automated liquid product filling and packaging lines. Funds operated by seven institutions, including Kiwoom Investment and Kyobo Securities, and the main account participated in this investment, and the corporate value after the investment is known to be around 30 billion won.
An SK Pack official said, “This investment attraction is a recognition of our unique technological prowess and high growth potential in the liquid filling and packaging automation market,” adding, “It is significant that our technological prowess for entering the smart factory market has been objectively evaluated and our value has been recognized by a major domestic investment institution.”
He added, “In the mid to long term, we expect to secure total solutions in line with the growth of the global smart manufacturing market and further grow our corporate value by securing high-speed and carbonation filling technologies that are competitive in the Japanese and European markets.”
The funds raised through this investment will be primarily used to secure smart manufacturing solutions and invest in high-speed carbonation technology.
Launched in 1994, SK Pack is a liquid product filling and packaging automation line design and manufacturing company with 30 years of experience. It has secured over 1,600 references and supplied over 460 lines to over 250 domestic and international essential consumer goods customers, including food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical companies.
The charging and packaging automation market is expected to continue to grow in size due to the aging population, increased automation across industries to improve productivity, increased demand for eco-friendly packaging and recycled materials, and the spread of smart factories and IoT-based manufacturing processes. In particular, demand from essential goods industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, as well as the logistics and e-commerce markets, is expected to drive market growth.
SK Pack has been recognized for its technology in the global market by supplying lines to over 100 overseas markets, including 80 in Japan and 16 in Europe. Based on high precision, equipment durability, and hygienic processes, it has maintained the quality of its products stably by applying technology and patents accumulated over 30 years, and has recorded a repurchase rate of over 60% based on the trust of its customers.
A venture capitalist who participated in this investment said, “Skapack provides high-quality, customer-tailored total solutions for the entire process, including consulting, design, manufacturing, and installation of automated filling and packaging equipment for producing liquid products. In addition, it maximizes the efficiency of customers’ production processes through maintenance and technical support, and strengthens competitiveness through continuous technological innovation and global network expansion.” He added, “We decided to invest because we expect high sales growth by building long-term, trustworthy relationships with customers, and we judged that the company has excellent future growth potential based on its technological prowess and growth potential.”
Meanwhile, Namoo Technology has increased its headcount by 50% through active investment in technical personnel since acquiring SK Pack in May 2022, and has continuously grown overseas exports by strengthening competitiveness for entry into the global market.
