이지템

이지템 ((주)이지템, EasyTEM) is a South Korean developer and manufacturer of beauty and healthcare devices, incorporated on 20 August 2008 and headquartered in the Prime Castle knowledge-industry center in Sincheon-dong, Siheung, Gyeonggi Province. Its registered line of business is the manufacture, wholesale/retail and e-commerce distribution of medical devices, specifically infrared thermometers and skin-beauty devices, and it is classified under "other medical instrument manufacturing." The company is a small-and-medium enterprise, an export-import business, and a certified military-service-exception employer, with 73 employees on national pension records. 이해욱 (Lee Hae-wook) is the representative director.

The company offers three defined collaboration models to brand customers: ODM, covering product direction-setting through development and mass production; White Label, using already-validated products to shorten lead times; and OEM, covering volume production and quality control against partner specifications. It describes an integrated execution framework in which planning, design, development, mass production and quality management are all handled inside one organization, with each stage able to run independently depending on the scope a client requires. Its public performance headings cover cumulative supply volume, annual production capacity, project count and patents.

Technology work is organized around an in-house research function, with a Sensor Technology Research Institute established in February 2010. Reported core technologies include arcporation (AP) and electroporation (EP) applied to skin-beauty equipment, plus a professional-use aesthetic multi-function skin device called Cellizer.

Business model

이지템 develops and manufactures beauty and healthcare devices for other brands under ODM, OEM and White Label arrangements, and also handles wholesale/retail and e-commerce distribution of medical devices such as infrared thermometers and skin-beauty equipment. Clients choose the scope of engagement — full product direction-setting and development through mass production (ODM), faster-turnaround development on validated existing products (White Label), or production and quality control to partner specifications (OEM). The company has said it planned to build an ODM one-stop service so that major customers can concentrate on domestic and overseas sales.

Revenue comes from contract development and manufacturing of devices for brand customers plus sales of its own medical and beauty devices. 2023 revenue was reported at KRW 35 billion, of which more than 90% came from beauty devices; the 2024 targets cited were KRW 50 billion in revenue and KRW 6 billion in operating profit.

Traction

2023 revenue was reported at KRW 35 billion with over 90% from beauty devices, and beauty-device production volume roughly doubled year over year on domestic ODM/OEM expansion. The company developed and supplied the Medicube AGE-R ATS Air Shot device, which gained public attention as the "Kim Hee-sun device." It raised KRW 17.5 billion from five venture capital firms in February 2024, signed Daishin Securities as lead underwriter for a KOSDAQ listing in April 2024, and won the Minister of SMEs and Startups award as the winning team at L'Oréal's Big Bang Open Innovation program in November 2023.
