Samsung Electro-Mechanics, a sister company of Samsung Electronics, is looking to capitalize on the ongoing artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics boom to strengthen its business. During its recent annual general shareholders meeting, the company revealed its restructuring plans and secured the necessary approvals.

At its 53rd general shareholders meeting held at the EL Tower in Seoul, South Korea, Chief Executive Officer Chang Duck-hyun said the company achieved record-high revenue last year. Its operating profit rose 24% in 2025 compared to the previous year. This growth was driven by increased sales of high-value components and rising demand from AI servers and automotive-related products.

Building on this momentum, the company now plans to restructure its business around AI and humanoid robot segments. Samsung Electro-Mechanics will focus on high-voltage and high-capacity multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) for AI servers, high-reliability MLCCs for electric vehicles (EVs), and camera modules for humanoid robots.

Chang said, “Demand for electronic components is increasing as big tech companies expand AI investments, autonomous driving technologies advance, and humanoid robots gain traction. We will pursue revenue growth that outpaces the market.

It also makes camera components for Apple's and Samsung's phones and tablets. Reports claim that it is building variable aperture for the Galaxy S27 Ultra. It is also said to be entering Apple's supply chain to offer components used in camera autofocus and stabilization.

The company approved seven agenda items during the shareholders meeting. These included the approval of financial statements, amendments to the articles of incorporation, the appointment of directors, the selection of audit committee members, and setting a cap on directors’ remuneration. The company also reappointed outside director Choi Jong-ku as chairman of the board.
