Financial Times recently listed Koh Young as one of its 1,000 high-growth companies in Asia-Pacific. Before that, the Korean Exchange Industry (KOSDAQ) honored Koh Young with its “Hidden Champion” award, which recognizes Korea’s “Best Small and Strong Companies” in the world. The Hidden Champion Award recognizes small companies who develop and maintain market dominant positions in the global market. Most recently, though, The Technology Headlines named Koh Young one of the 10 Most Innovative Smart Factory Solution Providers to Watch in 2019.
The Technology Headlines, a publication that brings together CIOs, CXOs, and other technology decisions makers to speak on the evolution of technology and industry trends, has announced the release of their new edition: “10 Most Innovative Smart Factory Solution Providers to Watch in 2019.”
While the issue reviews the key players in the Smart Factory industry, it also sheds light on to how these companies have created a loyal customer-base, designed sound marketing strategies, and developed innovative offerings over. Among the 10 listed companies, it honored Koh Young as the key player in the Smart Factory industry. Koh Young has been on its radar for quite a long time, but this year it became clear that enterprises of all sizes trust Koh Young for its incredible innovations and services in the industry.
Carlos Chavez, editor-in-chief of The Technology Headlines said, “It was a great pleasure reviewing these companies, as they all had inspiring as well as thought-provoking stories to share.” Nicole Anderson, Senior editor at The Technology Headlines further added, “Our editorial team has not only selected the companies on account of their services, but also on their abilities to transform the user experience.”
To acknowledge such companies, their CEOs and efforts, the editorial team at The Technology Headlines has published a list of the “10 Most Innovative Smart Factory Solution Providers to Watch in 2019.” The editorial team at The Technology Headlines hopes that the proposed list and valuable insights by these industry leaders will help customers gain a new perceptive on the Smart Factory industry.
“Koh Young is honored to have been named a Top 10 Smart Factory Solution provider by this group,” said Brent A. Fischthal, Senior Marketing Manager at Koh Young America. “Over the years, the electronics manufacturing industry has bestowed Koh Young with numerous awards for its innovative solutions. This recognition from an organization outside our industry and focused on technology evolution across different industries is true testament to the strength of the Koh Young innovative culture and our smart factory focus.”
