Minister Oh Young-joo of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups (MSS) visited Nextin Co., Ltd. and Hanyang M-Tech Co., Ltd., located in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, on the 2nd. Nextin (CEO Park Tae-hoon) specializes in manufacturing semiconductor inspection equipment, while Hanyang M-Tech (CEO Kim Jae-goo) is a root technology company specializing in the mold and die manufacturing industry.
This on-site visit was designed to hear voices from exporting SMEs on the ground regarding support for them amid growing uncertainty in the external environment, including the high exchange rate and the inauguration of the second term of the Trump administration.
On this day, Minister Oh said, “Globalization is essential for small and medium-sized enterprises to scale up, and exporting small and medium-sized enterprises like Nextin have supported our economy even in difficult economic times,” and “The difficulties and concerns of small and medium-sized enterprises are higher than ever, as the prices of raw and auxiliary materials are rising due to the sharp rise in the exchange rate.” He added, “For companies affected by the high exchange rate, we plan to support the rapid normalization of management through emergency management stabilization funds and guarantees, and we also plan to expand the supply of liquidity to exporting small and medium-sized enterprises.”
