Samsung Electronics’ vice-chair and de-facto leader Lee Jae-yong on Thursday visited Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ factory to inspect the automotive multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) line located in Busan.

The visit is part of a series of on-site management by Lee at Samsung’s various factories. This also marks the first time the vice-chair toured the site since it began operation in 2018. The Busan plant operates automotive MLCC-dedicated lines.

During his visit, Lee discussed business strategies with the Busan plant executives. He said that with the rapid change of pace of future technologies such as AI and 5G, Samsung should take the lead in the innovation. He added that the company should continue to advance its technologies despite the uncertainties in the industry.

Samsung Electro-Mechanics provides MLCCs for various Samsung products, such as in automotive, smart devices, and camera modules.

As an essential part of electronics, multilayer ceramic capacitors act like “dams” to control electric currents. They temporarily charge and discharge electricity regulating the current’s flow as stable levels. The MLCCs also prevent and remove electromagnetic interference inside electronic products.
