• Strengthening strategic cooperation for next-generation semiconductor package core material ‘Glass Core’
• Aiming to lead the glass substrate market by combining strengths in preparation for the AI era

TOKYO and SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Samsung Electro-Mechanics announced on the 5th that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Sumitomo Chemical Group to establish a joint venture (JV) for manufacturing ‘Glass Core,’ a key material for next-generation package substrates.

The MOU signing ceremony was held at Tokyo, Japan and attended by Chang Duckhyun, President of Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Keiichi Iwata, Chairman of Sumitomo Chemical, Nobuaki Mito, President of Sumitomo Chemical, and Lee Jongchan, President of Dongwoo Fine-Chem (a subsidiary of Sumitomo Chemical), along with other key executives.
 
The joint venture MOU is part of a strategy to overcome the limitations of package substrate technology amid the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC). ‘Glass Core’ is a core material for next-generation semiconductor package substrates and is regarded as an essential technology for realizing high-density, large-area advanced semiconductor package substrates, thanks to its lower coefficient of thermal expansion and superior flatness compared to conventional organic substrates.

Through this MOU, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Sumitomo Chemical, and Dongwoo Fine-Chem will leverage their respective technological strengths and global networks to establish manufacturing and supply capabilities for ‘Glass Core’ and accelerate market expansion.
 
In the joint venture, Samsung Electro-Mechanics will serve as the primary investor with a majority stake, while Sumitomo Chemical Group will participate as a minority shareholder. The companies plan to finalize details such as the shareholding structure, business schedule, and corporate name, aiming to sign the main agreement next year. The headquarters will be located at Dongwoo Fine-Chem’s Pyeongtaek site, which will also serve as the initial production base for ‘Glass Core’.
 
Chang Duckhyun, President of Samsung Electro-Mechanics, said, “As the AI era accelerates, demand for ultra-high-performance semiconductor package substrates continues to grow, and the glass core will be a key material that reshapes the landscape of the future substrate market. This agreement will provide an opportunity to combine the advanced capabilities of the three companies and establish a new growth engine in the next-generation semiconductor package market. We will continue to strengthen our technological leadership and take the lead in building an advanced package substrate ecosystem.”
 
Keiichi Iwata, the Chairman of Sumitomo Chemical said, “Through cooperation with Samsung Electro-Mechanics, we expect to generate significant synergy in the advanced semiconductor back-end process sector. We will further solidify our long-term partnership through this project.”
 
Lee Jongchan, the President of Dongwoo Fine-Chem added, “It is very meaningful to have the opportunity to lead the advanced semiconductor package materials sector by integrating the technological capabilities of Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Dongwoo Fine-Chem. Based on the technology accumulated by Sumitomo Chemical, we will actively utilize our strong execution capabilities and infrastructure to ensure the success of this collaboration and grow into a leading company in advanced semiconductor packaging materials.”

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Atomicwork, the leading AI-native ITSM solution for modern enterprises, today announced a strategic partnership with Lansweeper, the global leader in IT asset discovery and configuration intelligence.

The partnership brings Lansweeper’s real-time asset discovery into Atomicwork’s agentic service management platform, giving enterprises complete visibility across their IT environment — from managed devices to network infrastructure.

Atomicwork’s Universal AI Agent, Atom, built on the Universal Context Management Data Lake (CMDL), combines IT asset insights from Lansweeper with enterprise data from ERP, HRIS, and identity systems to proactively detect issues and deliver contextual intelligence for faster IT resolutions.

According to IDC research, unplanned IT downtime — often caused by hardware failures and poor asset visibility — can reduce employee productivity by roughly 20%, equating to over 100 work hours lost per employee annually. Organizations with proactive asset management and visibility can save up to $2000 per employee per year in associated IT costs. ^[1]

“Every CIO wants their IT teams to be smarter and proactive with AI to help unlock velocity for business. But without full visibility across their complex IT environment, there is limited contextual intelligence for AI to deliver value,” said Vijay Rayapati, CEO of Atomicwork. “By combining Lansweeper’s unparalleled IT and OT discovery capabilities with Atomicwork’s Universal Context Management Data Lake architecture, we’re giving modern IT teams a complete, real-time understanding of their technology environment, so they can move from reacting to predicting and auto resolving.”

Together, Atomicwork and Lansweeper deliver a unified, AI-ready data foundation for IT teams that:

• Creates a smart, unified source of truth that offers visibility across the enterprise by unifying asset intelligence with IT processes and enterprise workflows. 
• Enables contextual and smarter support by predicting the impact of technology issues and incidents on related enterprise IT assets for faster resolution with contextual intelligence.
• Improves security posture across devices and networks by detecting hidden or vulnerable assets before they become new risks.

Atomicwork transforms IT operations with its Context Management Data Lake (CMDL), replacing static CMDBs with a unified, always-updating view of enterprise assets. Powered by Lansweeper’s Asset Intelligence, CMDL connects data across people, software, networks, and infrastructure to give IT teams complete visibility and actionable context for faster, smarter decisions.

“Lansweeper’s mission has always been to make every asset visible and understood,” said Dave Goossens, CEO at Lansweeper. “By integrating with Atomicwork, we’re turning visibility into intelligence and intelligence into action. Together, we’re giving IT and Agentic AI the insight they need to truly transform IT operations.” 

For modern IT teams, the result is an intelligent foundation for automation, governance, and service delivery. Whether resolving incidents faster, reducing mean time to repair, or preventing outages before they occur, Atomicwork and Lansweeper deliver clarity, control, and confidence across the enterprise.

“For too long, IT teams have been slowed down by limited context and manual work”, added Rayapati. “This partnership changes that equation. Lansweeper gives us universal IT visibility. Atomicwork delivers universal AI automation. The result is what every CIO wants: smarter IT, faster business.”

Cryptocurrency Pioneer Brings Deep Technical Expertise and Vision for Financial Privacy to Next-Generation Cross-Chain Platform

NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SilentSwap, the leading non-custodial privacy platform for cross-chain digital asset swaps, today announced that Charlie Lee, creator of Litecoin and Managing Director of the Litecoin Foundation, has joined the company’s Advisory Board. Lee brings over a decade of cryptocurrency innovation and a pioneering vision for privacy in digital finance to help guide SilentSwap’s mission of making confidential transactions accessible to institutions and users worldwide.

Lee, who created Litecoin in 2011 as one of the earliest and most successful Bitcoin alternatives, has long championed the importance of privacy in cryptocurrency. His appointment comes as SilentSwap prepares for the upcoming launch of SilentSwap V2, its institutional-grade platform.

“SilentSwap has built exactly what the cryptocurrency industry desperately needs – a privacy solution that actually works at scale without compromising on speed or user experience,” said Charlie Lee, Creator of Litecoin and Strategic Advisor to SilentSwap. “The reality is that blockchain’s transparency has become a massive liability. Every transaction, every wallet balance, every financial movement is exposed for bad actors to analyze. SilentSwap elegantly solves this problem.”

Lee’s extensive experience includes a decade at Google where he worked on Chrome OS, followed by his role as Director of Engineering at Coinbase from 2013 to 2017, where he helped build critical infrastructure for cryptocurrency adoption. Since 2017, he has focused full-time on advancing Litecoin and blockchain technology through the Litecoin Foundation, including implementing privacy features like MimbleWimble to enhance transaction confidentiality.

“Having Charlie Lee join our advisory board validates everything we’ve been building at SilentSwap,” said Shibtoshi, Founder and CEO of SilentSwap. “Charlie has been building in this space since the beginning and understands both the technical challenges and market dynamics better than almost anyone. His insight into what institutions actually need versus what the market currently offers is invaluable. With Charlie’s guidance, we’re not just launching another privacy tool – we’re delivering the privacy infrastructure that will define how institutions interact with digital assets going forward.”

The announcement comes at the launch of SilentSwap V2 with enhanced capabilities and a simple API integration that allows platforms to add privacy functionality without complex backend infrastructure or custody arrangements.

SilentSwap’s non-custodial architecture ensures users maintain complete control of their assets while executing fully private cross-chain swaps, addressing the critical privacy gap that has prevented widespread institutional adoption of blockchain technology.
