Kitronycs, a specialized company in film pressure distribution measurement solutions, has successfully secured KRW 1 billion in pre-Series A funding from IBK Capital–ID Ventures, BigBang Angels, and Korea Omega Investment.

By developing and localizing controllers, software, and electronic pressure sensors, Kitronycs has demonstrated its technological prowess in the field, previously reliant on foreign products.
