Our business is focused on developing and providing cutting-edge security screening solutions and smart security platforms. Our journey shows our expertise and commitment to security technology development. While SSTLabs was established in 2018, our team's experience began well before that, with the development of next-generation baggage security screening technology starting in 2013. Over the past few years, we have achieved a number of significant milestones. In 2023, we achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first company in Korea to be ECAC EDSCB C3 approved. Last year, we also have conducted a successful testbed demonstration at Incheon International Airport. This year, we have already been awarded a major contract for an AI X-ray project for the Courts and established a key product portfolio for security screening.

About me

Mr. Cheolsoo Sone's career spans over two decades, marked by a significant progression from deep technical expertise in R&D to executive leadership, including roles as a CEO and Vice President.

Mr. Sone dedicated his early career to research and development within Korea's leading technology conglomerates. He began as a Senior Researcher at Hyundai Electronics from 1997 to 1998. His longest and most formative period was spent across various Samsung affiliates, starting as a Senior/Principal Researcher at the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology and Samsung Electro-Mechanics Research Institute between 1998 and 2009. He then ascended to a leadership position as a Managing Director at Samsung LED Research Institute and Samsung Electronics LED Division from 2009 to 2014. After serving as an Advisor for R&D at Samsung Electronics DS Sector until 2015, he transitioned into executive roles at various ventures.

Following his time at Samsung, Mr. Sone moved into high-level management, where his R&D background supported a focus on company operations and strategy. He served as a Vice President overseeing R&D at Gems Medical Co., Ltd. from 2016 to 2017. Demonstrating a strong entrepreneurial drive, he then took on the role of CEO at The Soom Co., Ltd. in 2018, handling both management and R&D. His focus shifted entirely to executive operations from 2019 to 2020, serving as the CEO for Optium Co., Ltd. with responsibility for overall operations. Currently, since June 2021, Mr. Sone holds the position of Vice President at SST Lab Co., Ltd., where he continues to oversee all company operations
