Seoul Viosys announced that its Violeds technology has been adopted by China-based automotive component supplier Yanfeng for in-vehicle UV disinfection.

Adopting Violeds technology, the Yanfeng’s in-vehicle UV sanitizer can detect for absence of occupants before activating lamps for a period of 10 minutes that can sterilize the cabin including cockpit, seating and steering wheel. The sterilization lamp is embedded in the ceiling for maximum coverage and allows for sterilization of the harmful bacteria and viruses inside.

Seoul Viosys also noted that it will launch portable disinfection product with SETi in April to target COVID-19 for preventing spread of the coronavirus infection. While the global electronics customer demands and inquiries for Violeds products have been dramatically increased, and Seoul Viosys and SETi are ready for mass production, it typically takes more than 6 months to offer the products to market. This is due to customer’s long-term product merchandising processes including design, mold, and certification. Accordingly, Seoul Viosys and SETi will take the lead in product promotion to provide consumers with quicker access to sterilization solutions until this urgent situation from the global spread of COVID-19 is stabilized. The goal for now is to help people control the spread quickly, but the company will continue to sell the products in cooperation with potential global partners in the future.

CEO Young Joo Lee at Seoul Viosys said, “To reduce the spread of COVID-19, we decided to temporarily launch the product by drastically reducing the process of merchandising such as molds and customer delivery,” additionally “We will look for global partners to promote sales and marketing in full-scale.”
