[THE INVESTOR] SK Group said Jan. 13 that the first combined presentation by its core affiliates -- including SK Innovation, SK Telecom and SK hynix -- showcasing the latest mobility technology at Consumer Electronics Show 2019 was a great success. This year’s CES, held last week in Las Vegas, drew about 180,000 spectators, according to organizers.

Under the theme of “Innovative Mobility by SK,” the company hosted a booth on innovative mobility technologies.

The group’s energy affiliate, SK Innovation, introduced batteries for electric vehicles and showed how its chemical business unit, SKC, contributes by producing PCT film, a core material for lightweight cables for cars.
