What Mirae does

Mirae Corporation (KOSPI:025560) is a South Korean semiconductor back-end equipment manufacturer founded in 1983 and headquartered in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do. The company develops, manufactures, sells, and services four product lines: ATE (Automated Test Equipment — including memory, logic, and module test handlers plus burn-in sorters), SMT (Surface Mount Technology — hybrid placement and insertion machines), LMT (Linear Motors), and MRM (Mask Manufacturing Equipment for KF94/KF80 protective masks). ATE products account for approximately 72% of total sales. The company operates an affiliated research institute established in 1987 and is the first Korean firm to locally produce semiconductor test handlers and chip mounters.

The company's underlying technology stack includes proprietary U-shape coreless linear motors with a patented cooling system used in its own equipment since 1998; high-parallelism test handler architectures (up to 768 parallel sites on the MH7); precise temperature control (±1.0°C across a -40°C to +125°C range); auto-teaching vision, 3D vision inspection, and self-diagnosis features; and factory automation (OHT/OHC) integration. The product portfolio spans memory test handlers (M500HT, MH7, MH5), burn-in sorters (M850/MB series), application handlers (MA16 for GDDR6 graphics memory), logic handlers (ML16, M620), the MAI hybrid insertion system, and 50–120 sheets/min mask lines. The firm holds roughly 1,066 patents (612 domestic, 454 international across the US, Japan, Taiwan, China, Germany, and others).

Mirae runs a hardware-led business model, selling capital equipment globally through direct enterprise sales teams organized by product line (ATE, SMT, LMT, MRM) and an overseas dealer network reaching Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. Recurring revenue comes from after-sales service and support (customer hotline 1588-0461). End customers include global memory and NAND Flash manufacturers, with SK Hynix (formerly Hyundai Electronics) recognized as a localization partner. The firm is majority-controlled (40.40%) by Nextun&Roll Korea Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ:089140), itself controlled through the Loanco Holdings group, and Mirae consolidates wholly-owned Aron Technology (precision components), Suzhou Mirae Automation Technology (China), Mirae Corporation VINA (Vietnam), and a 36.83% stake in Atlas Link.
