Founded in 1981, Intops Corporation started as a small manufacturer with two machines. By leveraging its distinctive injection molding technology, Intops gradually became South Korea’s foremost information and communication equipment parts manufacturer. The organization is now an Electronics Manufacturing Service (EMS) and a CMF (color, material, finish) specialist, with production facilities in South Korea and other countries. With 40 years of manufacturing expertise providing design inspiration for customers, Intops is expanding its horizons to include other business areas, such as mobile devices, home appliances, automobiles, lifestyle products and medical devices.
