NIDS Co., Ltd. Confirms CES 2027 Participation, Pursues Expansion of Global Supply Chain for Environmental Sensors

Company introduced optical and gas sensors at SEDEX and is strengthening its composite sensor business for robotics, home appliances, automotive, and smart building applications

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Environmental sensor manufacturer NIDS Co., Ltd. has confirmed its participation in CES 2027 and is moving to expand its global business-to-business (B2B) supply chain. Building on its experience supplying sensors to domestic and international home appliance and automotive companies, the company aims to secure overseas customers and extend its applications into smart building HVAC and robotics.

NIDS recently participated in the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association’s Sensor Pavilion at SEDEX 2026, held at COEX in Seoul, where it introduced its next-generation sensor modules. The company said the exhibition allowed it to raise awareness of its technology among domestic home appliance and electronic component industry professionals and to lay the groundwork for collaboration in the sensor field.

The company will use CES 2027 as its next stage. NIDS plans to firm up discussions on sensor module supply with global home appliance makers, HVAC specialists, and robotics companies. It aims to extend the industry contacts gained at the domestic exhibition overseas and to convert product introductions into actual supply opportunities.

Founded in 2000, NIDS develops and manufactures environmental sensors and air quality management solutions. According to the company, it has supplied more than 10 million sensors cumulatively to domestic and international companies, including Dyson, Samsung Electronics, and Hyundai Motor. Drawing on this supply track record, the company intends to showcase its precision sensing technology and mass-production capabilities to overseas customers.

Its main products include particulate matter sensors, optical gas sensors based on non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology, composite environmental sensors, and electronic nose sensor modules. The particulate matter sensors measure PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10, while the gas sensor lineup targets carbon dioxide (CO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and other gases. The electronic nose is used for detecting everyday odors, gas leaks, and fires. The company said it designs the core components required for air quality measurement in-house and has a system in place to mass-produce 5 million units annually.

The area where NIDS will expand development and supply going forward is next-generation composite sensor modules. The company has been pursuing a sensor business that responds to industry-specific demand in home appliances, automotive, and smart building HVAC, and is now concentrating its capabilities on markets such as robotics, industrial safety, and odor detection based on this technology. Building on its experience supplying individual components, NIDS plans to continue developing and supplying, on a B2B basis, modules that handle multiple types of environmental data.

The company will also highlight its sensor product lineup and its newly developed ultra-compact MEMS sensor technology at the exhibition. NIDS plans to introduce its optical and gas sensor lineup along with examples of their application in actual air quality management systems. By explaining both the measurement functions of its components and its experience operating sensors for finished-product services, the company aims to broaden the scope of partnership discussions.

NIDS explained that, because it owns its precision sensors, it can control sensor sensitivity and tune algorithms to suit the system in which they are applied. Drawing on this technical operating experience, the company plans to pursue partnerships with customers and to promote its business capabilities extending from sensor components to air quality and odor management and industrial safety management.

NIDS will also leverage its existing branch network in its overseas market development. Through its overseas bases in the United States, Japan, and China, the company plans to widen its touchpoints with buyers and seek new supply opportunities in conjunction with its CES participation. Its goal is to generate export results by combining exhibition participation with its local networks.

The company intends to keep expanding the global supply of sensor components as a core pillar of its business. Building on the supply experience accumulated in home appliances and automotive, it will broaden its partners to robotics, HVAC, and smart buildings, and respond to industry-specific air quality measurement demand through the development of next-generation modules.

“We plan to continue expanding the development and B2B supply of next-generation composite sensor modules needed across a range of industries, including home appliances, automotive, and smart building HVAC,” NIDS said.

Two-day mission advances partnerships in yacht services, fisheries, and aquaculture, turning overseas outreach into commercial opportunities

SANYA, China, Oct. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sanya has secured new agreements to advance trade and investment ties with the Maldives following a two-day mission focused on the blue economy, yacht services, fisheries, and aquaculture. A delegation representing the Sanya Municipal Bureau of Commerce, the Sanya Central Business District Administration, the Sanya Investment Promotion Bureau, and the Sanya Tourism Development Bureau visited the Maldives from October 27 to 28, 2026. Drawing on the favorable policies of the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP), the delegation met with local government and business leaders to build commercial partnerships and identify projects for joint development.

The mission followed a visit to Sanya by a Maldivian trade delegation in August and explored how the two economies could turn their complementary industry strengths into business opportunities. On October 27, the Sanya delegation visited Alshaali Marine and Gulf Craft Maldives to discuss trade in yacht components, maintenance and refurbishment, new yacht sales, and duty-free imports — with the goal of establishing a yacht manufacturing and maintenance facility in Sanya. The delegation also met with the Maldives Ministry of Fisheries, Agriculture and Ocean Resources to strengthen links between fishing ports and develop trade routes for tuna, skipjack, and other seafood to be processed in Sanya for export to global markets. Further discussions covered aviation and tourism, tropical fruit and vegetable trade, and green energy.

On October 28, the China-Maldives Investment Cooperation Forum took place in Malé. The Sanya Investment Promotion Bureau delivered a keynote presentation on blue economy partnerships, highlighting how the Hainan FTP’s policy advantages and Sanya’s industrial base can support new commercial links across the Indian Ocean. At the forum, the Sanya Municipal Bureau of Commerce and the Sanya Investment Promotion Bureau signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on trade and economic cooperation with the Maldives Ministry of Economic Development, Transport and Trade. The MOU sets out a framework for long-term collaboration in trade and investment promotion, fisheries and aquaculture, the blue economy, and business matchmaking, with a focus on encouraging investment in both directions.

On the same day, the Sanya Investment Promotion Bureau and the Sanya Central Business District Administration signed a Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement with Mariculture Maldives. The partners will collaborate on breeding tropical aquaculture species, develop large-scale marine farming, and open two-way trade channels for fresh seafood. The Maldivian company plans to establish operations in Sanya, using the FTP’s favorable policies to expand into the Asia-Pacific market. The delegation also held face-to-face meetings with Island Aviation Services Ltd, which operates the national airline Maldivian, and with Leo Trading to explore further business opportunities.

“Our overseas outreach must deliver real results. It is not enough to reach consensus — we must turn agreements into concrete trade flows and industrial investment,” said Tong Liyan, head of the Sanya delegation and Party Secretary of the Sanya Investment Promotion Bureau. She added that Sanya will provide comprehensive support for businesses entering each other’s markets, helping local companies expand into Maldivian tourism and fisheries markets and inviting Maldivian businesses to see Sanya’s industrial parks, ports, and business environment firsthand. The aim is to turn that interest into new investment and help Maldivian companies establish operations in the city.

Drawing on its distinctive coastal assets and the international reach of the Hainan FTP, Sanya continues to expand its trade and investment ties with Indian Ocean island nations. By connecting marine industries, opening trade routes, and supporting businesses in both markets, the city aims to turn the two economies’ maritime strengths into commercial success — making the ocean a bridge to new markets and mutual growth.
