Graphene Square, a domestic graphene film manufacturer, has completed construction of the world's first mass production facility for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene film, a key component used in advanced electronics and batteries.

A completion ceremony for the plant took place in the southeastern city of Pohang, according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources on Tuesday

A graphene film is an ultrathin, continuous layer used in flexible displays, wearable electronics and advanced batteries. It is known for its flexibility, transparency and high-quality electrical and thermal conductivity.

The plant is expected to help Pohang, a Korean steel industry hub in North Gyeongsang, find new growth engines for the region, the ministry said.

“Graphene is a key material that will determine the competitiveness of advanced industries,” a ministry official said, while pledging to introduce measures to foster further growth of the industry.
