SEOUL, Korea \u2013 January 2, 2024 \u2013<\/strong> Samsung SDI today announced that the company held a New Year kick-off ceremony at its headquarters in Giheung, Gyeonggi Province. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe EV battery business which has been growing rapidly is expected to slow down temporarily as we are crossing the chasm in terms of EV adoption and also due to continued global economic recession. To achieve this, we need ‘changes and innovation’ in all business divisions,\u201d stressed Samsung SDI President and CEO Yoon-ho Choi, in his speech during the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CEO<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The CEO Choi enumerated tasks at hand required to achieve such initiative:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first in point being, \u201cSamsung SDI must secure leadership in the next-generation products and technologies,\u201d remarked the CEO and added, \u201cWe will promote and accelerate commercialization and mass production of all-solid-state batteries, the game changer of the future battery market, through the newly formed ASB Commercialization Team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outlining the fierce EV market, the Korean battery maker\u2019s CEO said, \u201cWith the increase in EV adoption, there is more demand for price competitiveness from our customers, which is leading to greater importance on cost competitiveness. Thus, let us secure the world’s best cost competitiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile reinforcing our strategic cooperation with our existing customers, we need to search for new customers,\u201d said CEO Yoon-ho Choi as the third task at hand. \u201cWe should also strengthen business competitiveness which has been sluggish in areas such as electronic material business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The head of Samsung\u2019s battery business moved on to reiterate the importance of a solid business foundation saying, \u201cWe should make efforts to secure early Super Gap Technology by constantly securing outstanding talent and expanding global R&D centers,\u201d and added, \u201cIn the journey to accomplish these tasks, we need to pave our foundation for sustainable growth through compliance management as well as ESG management.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samsung SDI CEO Yoon-ho Choi closed his New Year Message with a quote: \u201cLet’s put in endless efforts and ensure that we bring a new level of change and innovation to make the Year of the Blue Dragon the point in time we soar like dragons flying in the sky and riding the clouds. (\u98db\u9f8d\u4e58\u96f2)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2024 Kick-off event was attended by some 200 employees and executives and streamed live via the in-company broadcast to all Samsung SDI\u2019s sites in Korea. Incorporated in the event were the Global Annual Awards (GAA) that recognize excellence demonstrated throughout the year, the Samsung Grand Maestro Award, New Year celebratory video clips, and the CEO\u2019s New Year speech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
