Daito-KISCO (DKC) was jointly established by KISCO and Japan’s DAITO CHEMIX Corporation in 2005 to manufacture and sell the core raw materials for photoresists used in display and semiconductor manufacturing processes. DKC produces and supplies photosensitive materials for displays such as LCD/OLED and high-resolution semiconductors to customers around the world.

In 2019 DKC began the expansion of its production facilities with the construction of a new plant in Iksan, Korea. Based on this, DKC intends to continue to expand its influence in the global electronic materials and photosensitive materials markets.

WiseChem is a joint venture company established by KISCO and Korea Alcohol Industry Co., Ltd. in 2010. It is the first company in Korea to operate in the field of display and high-performance pigments. It supplies world-class pigments to manufacturers in Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan, which are the major countries involved in the display and semiconductor industry.

WiseChem has a complete product line of pigments applicable to various displays such as LCD, wOLED, and QD, and is building trust in the market by also providing excellent quality materials to the semiconductor area for use in applications such as image sensors. In addition, WiseChem, through intensive investments in R&D, is expanding its business to applications such as automotive paints and pigments for printers.
