Overseas booking reach USD 2 million in the first half of 2026, doubling year-over-year, with a 100% follow-on contract rate across every global customer acquired in 2025
Expands partnerships across semiconductor, energy, battery, and automotive industries in Japan and Europe
SEOUL, South Korea, June 24, 2026 — MakinaRocks, South Korea’s leading Physical AI company, announced that it generated approximately USD 2 million (KRW 3 billion) in overseas bookings during the first half of 2026, representing a twofold increase compared to the same period last year.
Global follow-on contracts underscore proven business impact
A key driver behind this growth was the continued expansion of existing customer relationships. MakinaRocks successfully secured follow-on contracts with every global customer acquired in 2025, including:
- A leading European semiconductor equipment manufacturer
- A major energy company operating megawatt-scale wind power infrastructure
- Overseas manufacturing facilities of a large Korean battery producer
- A Japanese automotive manufacturer
- A Japanese instrumentation and control system manufacturer
These contract renewals and expanded deployments reflect the measurable operational value delivered by MakinaRocks’ physical AI solutions in mission-critical industrial environments. By improving operational reliability, decision-making, and efficiency, the company has translated successful production deployments into long-term customer partnerships.
A representative from a European energy company using MakinaRocks’ solution commented, “Despite challenges such as language barriers, time-zone differences, and complex cross-border collaboration, our teams quickly recognized the value of the solution. The fact that this engagement has expanded into a follow-on contract speaks to the strength of MakinaRocks’ technology and execution capabilities.”
Overcoming air-gapped and multilingual barriers in global industrial AI deployment
Industrial organizations operating across global markets face a unique combination of challenges, including strict security requirements, legacy infrastructure, localized regulations, and multilingual workforces.
To address these complexities, MakinaRocks delivers AI through its proprietary AI operating system, Runway, enabling enterprises to deploy, manage, and scale AI in mission-critical environments. The AI OS supports a wide range of deployment architectures—from large-scale data centers to edge devices operating within isolated or air-gapped industrial networks—providing the flexibility required by manufacturers in highly regulated industries.
This capability has become a key differentiator in markets such as Japan and Europe, where operational reliability, security, and localization are essential requirements for enterprise AI adoption. Building on its momentum in the first half of the year, MakinaRocks plans to further accelerate customer acquisition efforts across Japan and Europe. The company is currently engaged in multiple proof-of-concept and technical validation projects with global manufacturing enterprises and expects additional commercial agreeements before the end of 2026.
“Today’s results demonstrate that MakinaRocks’ physical AI is delivering trusted outcomes in some of the world’s most demanding industrial environments,” said Andre S. Yoon, CEO of MakinaRocks. “We will continue expanding our relationships with existing customers while accelerating new customer acquisition, further increasing the contribution of our global business and strengthening our position as a leading provider of physical AI for industry.”
