CMTX (Co-CEOs Sung-Hoon Park and Jong-Hwa Park), a company specializing in the manufacture of silicon (Si) parts for semiconductor etching processes, has been officially recognized as a key partner by the US semiconductor company Micron Technology (hereafter Micron).
CMTX announced on the 19th that it was selected as the best supplier in the Front End Spares category at the ‘Micron Supplier Awards 2025’ held at The Westin Hotel in San Francisco, USA, on the 13th (local time).
The Micron Supplier Awards is an annual event that selects and honors outstanding suppliers among 8,023 partners worldwide, evaluating them in 14 categories including quality, technological innovation, and collaboration. Notably, this is the first time a Korean company has received the award in the Front End Spares category.
Micron stated that CMTX has built solid trust throughout the entire project and has maintained a close cooperative system in various areas such as procurement, purchasing, and engineering. Micron also emphasized that the two companies are showing a high probability of success in their jointly promoted silicon parts recycling project.
Sung-Hoon Park, CEO of CMTX, said, “Being selected as the best supplier for front-end parts by Micron is a result of our accumulated technological expertise and stable supply system being highly valued by global clients. Through our listing on KOSDAQ, we will expand our R&D, production infrastructure, and global network to establish ourselves as a leading K-semiconductor materials, parts, and equipment company.”
About two years ago, CMTX was designated as a ‘Strategic Partner’ among 87 global materials, parts, and equipment partners selected by Micron, being recognized for its technological capabilities and supply capacity. With this award, CMTX has further strengthened its cooperative foundation with global clients, and this enhanced external credibility is also adding significance to the company’s strong third-quarter performance growth this year.
On the 14th, CMTX announced through a disclosure that its third-quarter sales reached 41 billion won, with an operating profit of 15.5 billion won. This represents increases of 25% and 69%, respectively, compared to the same period last year, and the consolidated operating margin for the third quarter stands at approximately 38%.
Thanks to improved quarterly performance, cumulative sales for the third quarter totaled 118.4 billion won, with cumulative operating profit at 41.8 billion won. On a cumulative basis, these figures represent increases of 62% and 194%, respectively, compared to the same period last year, continuing a steep growth trajectory.
A CMTX representative stated, “The global semiconductor market recovery and the increased proportion of high-value-added silicon parts have been the driving forces behind our growth. In particular, the stabilization of material production yields, process automation, and cost reduction through vertical integration of front-end processes have directly contributed to the improvement in operating margin.” The representative added, “Going forward, we will continue to establish a stable growth foundation by expanding the M Campus and broadening our lineup of parts for new fabs.”
CMTX is scheduled to be listed on the KOSDAQ market on November 20. The subscription for the public offering, held over two days on November 10 and 11, attracted deposits totaling 13.8622 trillion won, with a simple competition ratio of 1,833 to 1. This is the highest level among KOSDAQ-listed companies this year. Funds raised through the IPO will be used to expand the production line at the Gumi M Campus. CMTX’s strategy is to further strengthen its presence in the domestic and global semiconductor markets by increasing production capacity.
