GI Tech was founded in 1990 and manufactures slot die machines used in battery and hydrogen fuel-cell production as well as slit nozzles used to deposit chemicals such as photoresist during display production.

GI Tech has SK Innovation, LG Energy Solution, Northvolt and Samsung Display as customers for its equipment.
The equipment maker said it will expand abroad by building production facilities in the US and Europe after it goes public.
Its main growth engine will be hydrogen fuel-cell batteries, GI Tech said.
It will also expand into multi-layer ceramic capacitor coating, healthcare and chips, it added.
