Saehan Nanotech Co., Ltd. has been honored with the Minister of SMEs and Startups Award, recognizing the company's outstanding contributions to technological innovation and export growth in the precision machine tool industry.
The award specifically acknowledged Saehan Nanotech's development of the world's first both-side spindle drilling machine (Patent No. 10-1579164) and the company's successful expansion into international markets, including the United States and China.
CEO Ahn Kook Jin accepted the award, stating: "This recognition belongs to our entire team. For over two decades, we have invested in developing proprietary technology rather than relying on imports. That commitment to independent R&D is what drives our competitiveness."
Saehan Nanotech was also recognized for its role in developing the domestic supply chain for precision semiconductor machining equipment, reducing Korea's dependence on imported machine tools in critical semiconductor manufacturing processes.
