 Introduction
Total assembly solutions provider, ASSEMS

Adhesives have a long history and are the core material for most production processes in recent industry.
ASSEMS was established in 2003 named Optim for the development of eco-friendly & human-friendly adhesives and has continuously grown in the field of adhesives.
Our environment-friendly film-adhesive is produced by eco-friendly methods without solvents and allows you to achieve low-cost and high-efficiency.
Our primary field was the shoe industry for the first time, we were registered with Nike as a supplier for hot-melt film adhesive and process of bonded fabric.
Now we are extending our business field to bags, clothes, motorcars and electric products.
Our 3 major businesses are the production of hot-melt film, laminating & coating of fabrics with our film, and production of hot-melt laminating machine.
We can supply full package service to customers for bonding and laminating.
We assure the environment will be one of the focusing points for quality standards.
Ji Sang, Jang | President The world is trying to preserve environment of Earth through Kyoto protocol, Copenhagen climate change conference etc.
but still too far to expect their real action.
With continuous efforts to save the Earth, ASSEMS is making it be possible now.
