ST YOUNGWON, a specialized manufacturer of secondary battery separator production equipment led by CEO Kwon Soon-sik, announced on the 28th that it achieved overseas orders worth a total of USD 160 million (approximately KRW 246 billion) in the first half of this year, marking the highest performance since its founding.
This surpasses the company’s previous record of USD 132 million, achieved with the world’s first 8.3-meter ultra-wide separator production equipment model, “DURONIC 8300.”
In particular, this achievement is even more significant as the orders were secured purely on the strength of technological competitiveness, amid intense competition with globally recognized technology powerhouses from Germany, Japan, and others.

ST YOUNGWON leveraged world-class separator production equipment—integrating ultra-wide width, high-speed, and high-precision technologies—together with its proprietary process technologies, to meet the strict technical requirements of global battery manufacturers. The newly awarded ultra-wide separator production lines represent next-generation facilities optimized for large-area, high-throughput manufacturing processes.
Ultra-wide mass-production technology is regarded as an “extremely high-difficulty” field within the equipment industry because it requires exceptional equipment precision, process stability, and consistent quality control. ST YOUNGWON has secured not only Korea’s first but also a globally unique ultra-wide mass-production reference, proving its unmatched technological competitiveness in the global market.
