"Agile" entry into new fields such as hydrogen and smart factories

Chairman Cho has implemented agile management in the areas of "Hydrogen" and "Smart Factories." to promote carbon neutrality and expand renewable energy, it has expanded its business in liquefied hydrogen and hydrogen charging stations, and established digitalized factory management systems to drive innovation in the manufacturing process.

Hyosung Heavy Industries is collaborating with Linde plc, the global gas and engineering company, to establish the world's largest liquefied hydrogen plant with an annual capacity of 13,000 tons in Ulsan by 2023. According to the government's large-scale commercial hydrogen vehicle promotion policy, there are plans to build large-scale liquefied hydrogen refueling stations in around 30 locations nationwide, in line with the completion of the liquefied hydrogen plant.

For agile management, Hyosung has implemented "Smart Factories" in its production and operation systems. It has digitalized the manufacturing process, collecting, analyzing, and managing data from raw material imports to production and shipping. This technology has been deployed in global locations, including South Korea, China, and Vietnam, since 2018.

Chairman Cho is leading the employees toward practicing agile management through the core value system called "Hyosung Way." This system sets four core values - "Excellence," "Innovation," "Responsibility," and "Trust" - as the standards for thinking and behavior that all Hyosung members around the world should embrace to build a global Hyosung.
