DK is a company specializing in the development of home appliance parts and precision molds that started its business in Gwangju in 1993. Since 1994, we have been supplying processed steel plates for refrigerators to Samsung Electronics. Starting with this, it is currently a key partner of Samsung Electronics, supplying steel plate processed products such as refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, and air conditioners, as well as metal kimchi containers for kimchi refrigerators. Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong also attracted attention by visiting the DK production site as his first official move after taking office.
DK was selected for the Gwangju joint brand ‘GIEL’, which was developed for the purpose of expanding the sales channel for small and medium-sized home appliances in the Gwangju region. DK, which participated in the CES 2023 Gwangju joint brand promotion hall operated by Gwangju City and Gwangju Techno Park, will unveil an air purifier and sterilizer that combines air purification and air sterilization functions at this exhibition. The product is known to be capable of removing 99.9% of airborne viruses such as coronavirus, RNA virus, MERS, SARS, and various floating bacteria through photocatalytic sterilization technology.
The coronavirus removal module system installed in the product is a patented technology of a government-funded organization and has been verified for its stability and effectiveness in cleaning and sterilizing functions by certified testing agencies such as the Korea Clean Air Association and the Korea Institute of Construction and Living Environment (KCL). As consumers’ desire to improve air quality is increasing day by day due to the spread of infectious diseases such as the coronavirus pandemic and yellow dust and fine dust, DK products are expected to receive great attention. An official from Gwangju City, which runs the joint pavilion, said, “This CES 2023 is a golden opportunity to promote Gwangju’s technological prowess.”
