Sunic System, a company specializing in OLED deposition equipment, said on the 31st that it secured upgraded credit ratings from a state-run bank and major credit rating agencies, and based on that, it will move to provide financial support to partners and strengthen supply chain competitiveness.
Sunic System was recently recognized in credit assessments for its stable financial structure, business performance, and competitiveness in the global OLED deposition equipment market. With next-generation growth businesses such as OLEDoS and perovskite and the expansion of production infrastructure also evaluated for future growth potential, it received an A+ credit rating—the highest level for mid-sized companies—from a state-run bank.
Its credit rating also rose year over year in assessments by major corporate credit rating agencies, boosting external trust. The company linked this credit upgrade to a shared growth finance model that not only enhances financial competitiveness but also expands the foundation for co-growth with partners.
Sunic System is recommending partners in need of facility investment and working capital to the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT) to receive preferential guarantees. Recommended partners can smoothly raise funds from financial institutions, ease the financial burden associated with facility investment and capacity expansion, and secure a stable foundation for growth.
It is understood that Sunic System is the first general mid-sized company, excluding defense companies, to use the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT)'s "preferred guarantees for partner corporations" program to link financial support for partner firms. Observers say it has established a virtuous cycle in which the strengthening of a corporation's credit competitiveness leads to stronger financial competitiveness for partners.
A Sunic System official said, "We plan to continue building a resilient supply chain based on co-growth with partners, while enhancing our capability to carry out global projects and the competitiveness of the industry as a whole."
