The brokerage said this year’s operating profit would reach 336 billion won (US$ 291.81 million), up from the 168.8 billion posted in 2014. 


“Kolon Industries had seen its corporate value deteriorate from 2012 to 2015 due to a lengthy legal battle with US-based Dupon, but the situation is now over,” the report said.

Kolon settled the case in May 2015.

Kolon Industries is a part of Kolon Group, which holds a 32 percent stake in the firm.
