Established in South Korea in 2007, KOMEMTEC Co., Ltd. operates as a specialized environmental technology company centered on the manufacturing of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane products. The company's core technological strengths lie in its proprietary PTFE membrane manufacturing process and a thermal lamination technique. This dual-technology focus allows KOMEMTEC to serve a wide array of industrial sectors including chemicals, textiles, environmental services, medical, and clothing.
The business model is centered on the production and sale of advanced filtration and membrane solutions. Key products include high-efficiency air conditioning filters, such as HEPA and ULPA filters for specialized applications like semiconductor cleanrooms, and industrial filters designed for demanding environments like thermal power plants, steel mills, and incinerators. These industrial filters leverage the microporous structure of the PTFE membrane to offer extended filter life, lower energy consumption, and reduced maintenance costs. Additionally, the company produces a self-developed reinforced composite membrane called Trania, which integrates a PTFE membrane with an ionomer. This vertical integration, starting from raw materials, gives the company a significant cost advantage.
KOMEMTEC also manufactures Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEAs) and Proton-Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell systems, marking its entry into the hydrogen fuel cell market. The company's PEM fuel cell systems are noted for applying its reinforced composite membrane to the electrolyte membrane for the first time in Korea, achieving over 70% power production efficiency. Its client base consists of industrial manufacturing facilities and companies within the hydrogen fuel cell supply chain. The company, led by CEO Sung-chul Kim, exports its products to various countries, including Germany and China.
