What DKT does

DKT (DKT Co., Ltd., KOSDAQ: 290550) is a South Korea-based FPCA (Flexible Printed Circuit Assembly) module manufacturer founded in 2012 and headquartered in Incheon. The company operates four business divisions: Display Solution (OLED FPCA modules), Energy Solution (PCM, S-PCM, SM/BMU, BMS, battery packs), Communication (Flexible RF Cables for 5G/MIMO), and Vehicle Module (automotive wireless chargers, SMA/BMA, P-LBM). Core technology is SMT (Surface Mount Technology) manufacturing at scale, with over 31 SMT lines concentrated at the DKT VINA facility in Vietnam, which accounts for more than 90% of production. Secondary manufacturing occurs at the Hwaseong M1 factory (ESS BMS line) in Korea, with a planned JV facility in Georgia, USA in partnership with BH EVS.

DKT generates revenue through direct B2B hardware sales to OEM customers under multi-year contracts with negotiated pricing based on specifications, volume, and relationship. The company supplies OLED FPCA modules to Samsung Display and Samsung Electronics (with 55-70% market share in Samsung's flagship smartphone OLED FPCA), Apple Watch FPCA modules, battery protection circuits (PCM) to Samsung SDI and Korean battery makers, automotive wireless chargers (WPC) via BH EVS to GM, Stellantis, Honda, and Tesla, BMS modules for Hyundai/Kia vehicles, and ESS BMS modules to LG Energy Solution, Samsung SDI, and SK On. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-OEM with no channel intermediaries.
