What Y2 Solution does

Y2 Solution (와이투솔루션) is a South Korea-based, KOSPI-listed power electronics manufacturer founded in 1976 that designs, develops, and manufactures power supply units (PSU) and related power modules. Its core products include Display PSU for TVs and monitors, LED lighting power solutions, and Electric Vehicle Charger Power Supply units (EVC PSU) in 30kW (UL-certified) and 35kW (KC-certified) variants. The company serves enterprise B2B customers including display manufacturers, LED lighting companies, and EV charging infrastructure providers, with anchor relationships spanning decades, notably with LG Group since 1987 and a 2015 LED solution supply contract with Osram Sylvania.

The company operates a multi-country manufacturing and sales footprint spanning South Korea (Hwaseong, Seoul, Cheongdo), China (Harbin since 1992, Qingdao since 2012), Vietnam (Hanoi since 2023), and a US sales office opened in 2022. Revenue is generated through direct B2B sales of custom-designed PSU modules under enterprise pricing arrangements, with no publicly disclosed pricing model. The firm also holds multiple government and industry recognitions, including a $100M Export Tower Award (2008), the Order of Industrial Merit (2010), and a Presidential Award at the LED & OLED EXPO (2014).

Since 2018, Y2 Solution has broadened its portfolio beyond traditional display PSU into EVC power (2018), biotechnology via the Luxa Biotechnology joint venture with the National Stem Cell Institute (2019, RMAT designation and CIRM grant in 2024-2025), ESL retail hardware via an equity stake in Telica (2024), robotics via the HRT Robotics acquisition (2025), and bioenergy (2025). In 2021, Deokwoo Electronics (덕우전자) became the largest shareholder, establishing a controlling ownership relationship. Despite the KOSPI listing since 1995, no consolidated revenue, headcount, or margin data is publicly disclosed in the input.
