What SUNGJIN-HITECH does

SUNGJIN-HITECH Co., Ltd. is a privately held Korean manufacturer of interventional medical devices, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do. The company designs and produces guidewires, angiographic catheters, drainage catheters, guiding catheters, guiding sheaths, balloon guide catheters, and microcatheters under branded product lines (ANGUIS, GRAFIA, ELIX, STELLA, FREDDIE, PILOT, ASTRO, EMBLOCK, FLEXION) targeting interventional radiology, interventional cardiology, gastroenterology, and neurovascular procedures. Core manufacturing is built around Nitinol alloy processing, hydrophilic coatings, braided catheter construction, PTFE liners, and precision tube processing, with an in-house Medical Device R&D Center established in 2017 supporting ongoing product certification and design work.

The company's regulatory footprint includes ISO 13485:2016 (2018), GMP (2016), Korea MFDS manufacturing certifications for the full device portfolio, CE marking for the ANGUIS guidewire (2020) and GRAFIA catheter (2021), and a Jordan FDA authorization. Beyond finished medical devices, SUNGJIN-HITECH sells medical and industrial parts and components, including braided tubes, micro catheters, Nitinol alloys, multi-lumen tubes, PTFE/FEP and polyimide tubing, and coaxial cables.

The business operates a sales-led, mixed OEM-and-branded model. Direct sales cover Korean healthcare institutions, OEM and customized products are offered to partners, and branded products are distributed internationally through regional partners, with MEDSTEP documented as the Thailand distributor since 2021. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via direct sales contact. Marketing and demand generation rely on Korean medical trade shows (KIMES, KSIN, KoNES) and the corporate website. Operations were consolidated into a single expanded Hwaseong facility in January 2022.
