Korea Investment & Securities is the lead underwriter.

Eco-Friendly Scrubbers

Founded in 1989, Panasia has been focusing on eco-friendly products like, including ballast water treatment system, that eradicates harmful contaminants in the ballast water and scrubbers that clean exhaust gases.

Sales and Profits in 2019

Sales of Panasia have been on a surge as many ship owners opted to install scrubbers instead of switching greener fuel which is very costly.

The company drew in 71.5 billion won in operating profits in 2019, soaring 1,398.45 percent from 100 million won in the previous year.

Its sales soared 474 percent to 328.5 billion won. 

Moreover, during the first six months this year, it posted a 352.64 percent and 148.92 percent on-year climb in operating profit and sales.
