Full Description
In 2025, Samjong KPMG advised on the sale of a controlling stake in MPNICS, a company in Korea's advanced materials, parts and equipment ("sobujang") sector manufacturing micro lenses for optical communications.
Built on ultra-compact, high-precision optical technology, MPNICS held a level of technological competitiveness rare in Korea, with significant growth potential driven by the expansion of AI and data center markets and the build-out of optical communications infrastructure.
Samjong KPMG closely analyzed the external market environment to advise on the optimal timing of the sale, and maximized enterprise value by creating active competitive tension between BNW Investment, the company's second-largest shareholder, and external financial investors.
Samjong KPMG also carefully confirmed intent to sell and coordinated transaction terms across a large group of sellers — including the controlling shareholder, more than seven institutional investors, and over 100 individual shareholders — ultimately closing the transaction at KRW 150 billion, with BNW Investment acquiring a 100% stake.
