iMarketKorea, leader of MRO e-marketplace

August 1, 2006

According to an industry source on the 26 th , the first half sales of iMarketKorea and Serveone were 642.2 billion won and 500 billion won, and ranked 1 st and 2 nd respectively, widening a gap between the 2 nd and the 3 rd ranked companies.
iMarketKorea has recently gained the Industrial Bank of Korea and Geumho Petroleum Chemicals as new clients, and has increased its total number of clients to over 300. iMarketKorea has pledged to stay in first place, through cost cutting and enhancement of customers' satisfaction.

Serveone has 398 clients including Yujin Group and Geumho Tire. Serveone plans to enhance orders to their primary clients in each industry to challenge iMarketKorea.

The momentum of EN2B, placed 3 rd , has deteriorated somewhat. Sales in the first half of the year were 166.5 billion won, 1/3 the level of Serveone. With their primary client KT commerce, a subsidiary of KT, enhancing their own MRO business, this is expected to act as another barrier for the expansion of EN2B's sales. KT Commerce recorded sales of 95 billion won through their MRO business in the first half. KT Commerce has plans to enhance their business through subsidiary companies of KT as primary targets.
