Founded in 1988 as the Petrochemical Division of HDC Group, Hyundai EP signed technology transfer contract with Solvay Engineered Polymer in 1991, focusing on developing advanced technologies, and built a compounding factory in Dangjin in 1994 to start developing and producing automobile bumpers and interior materials. After the department's separation from HDC in January 2000, Hyundai Engineering Plastic was established and strived to pioneer an independent market. Hyundai EP is developing fast with 25% of average annual growth since its foundation in 2000.
Hyundai EP has four Business Units (PP Compounding BU, PE Compounding BU, PS/EPS BU and PB-1 PIPE BU). The Dangjin factory produces super engineering plastic, which can replace metals, based on the company's accumulated technologies and experiences, while the Jincheon factory is focused on producing PE compound, which is used for rubber parts of automobiles and electric and electronic products, steel pipe coating and adhesion materials, construction pipes, and containers, etc. The Ulsan factory of Hyundai EP has EPS and PS production lines, and the Jochiwon factory, after acquiring the construction material department from PEM Korea, develops and produces PB pipe, which is great for energy saving. Meanwhile, having taken the top market share in the automobile PP compound market, with 25% of average annual growth rate, Hyundai EP creates more enriched future with ceaseless challenge even in the top position.
Hyundai EP is building a global network of manufacturing bases connecting Nagoya in Japan, Beijing, Suzhou, Guangzhou, and Dafeng, in China, and Chennai in india. In addition, through the partnership with LyondellBasell, the company is striving to expand the market to Turkey, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Brazil, and Alabama and Georgia, US.
With continuous research and development for the last 25 years and discovery of domestic and international markets, Hyundai EP has won several Export Awards such as 10 Million Dollars in 2007, 50 Million Dollars in 2008, 70 Million Dollars in 2010, 200 Million Dollars in 2011. Also in 2012, Hyundai EP was awarded the 'IR 52 Jan Young-Sil' with 'Cloth Looking Filler Trim'.[ citation needed ]
The economy of South Korea is a highly developed mixed economy dominated by family-owned conglomerates called chaebols. It is the 4th largest GDP in Asia and the 12th largest in the world. South Korea is known for its spectacular rise from one of the poorest countries in the world to a developed, high-income country in just a few generations. This economic growth has been described as the Miracle on the Han River, which has brought South Korea to the ranks of elite countries in the OECD and the G-20. South Korea still remains one of the fastest growing developed countries in the world following the Great Recession. It is included in the group of Next Eleven countries that will dominate the global economy in the middle of the 21st century.
Manufacturing is the production of products for use or sale, using labor and machines, tools, and chemical or biological processing or formulation. It is the essence of secondary industry. The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high-tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial design, in which raw materials from primary industry are transformed into finished goods on a large scale. Such goods may be sold to other manufacturers for the production of other more complex products, or distributed via the tertiary industry to end users and consumers.
The chemical industry comprises the companies that produce industrial chemicals. Central to the modern world economy, it converts raw materials into more than 70,000 different products. The plastics industry contains some overlap, as most chemical companies produce plastic as well as other chemicals.
Polystyrene (PS) is a synthetic aromatic hydrocarbon polymer made from the monomer known as styrene. Polystyrene can be solid or foamed. General-purpose polystyrene is clear, hard, and rather brittle. It is an inexpensive resin per unit weight. It is a rather poor barrier to oxygen and water vapour and has a relatively low melting point. Polystyrene is one of the most widely used plastics, the scale of its production being several million tonnes per year. Polystyrene can be naturally transparent, but can be coloured with colourants. Uses include protective packaging, containers, lids, bottles, trays, tumblers, disposable cutlery and in the making of models.
A thermoplastic, or thermosoftening plastic, is a plastic polymer material that becomes pliable or moldable at a certain elevated temperature and solidifies upon cooling.
Tap water is water supplied to a tap (valve). Its uses include drinking, washing, cooking, and the flushing of toilets. Indoor tap water is distributed through "indoor plumbing", which has existed since antiquity but was available to very few people until the second half of the 19th century when it began to spread in popularity in what are now developed countries. Tap water became common in many regions during the 20th century, and is now lacking mainly among people in poverty, especially on Indian Reservations in the US and in developing countries.
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyethylene high-density (PEHD) is a thermoplastic polymer produced from the monomer ethylene. It is sometimes called "alkathene" or "polythene" when used for HDPE pipes. With a high strength-to-density ratio, HDPE is used in the production of plastic bottles, corrosion-resistant piping, geomembranes and plastic lumber. HDPE is commonly recycled, and has the number "2" as its resin identification code.
Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastic and reprocessing the material into useful products. Since the majority of plastic is non-biodegradable, recycling is a part of global efforts to reduce plastic in the waste stream, especially the approximately 8 million metric tonnes of waste plastic that enters the Earth's ocean every year.
Hyundai Hysco, or HYSCO is a steel company of Hyundai Motor Group, established in 1975, and headquartered in Ulsan, South Korea. They are a manufacturer of automotive steel sheet products and various steel pipes. Its corporate office is located in Seoul, and it also operates in Ulsan in South Korea with operations worldwide. Currently, Hyundai Hysco operates a steel pipe facility in Korea, eleven overseas processing centers, and three overseas offices internationally.
Hyundai Steel Co., Ltd, or HSC is a steel making company headquartered in Incheon and Seoul, South Korea, and a member of the Hyundai Motor Group. Established in 1953, it is the oldest steel making company in Korea.
A technical textile is a textile product manufactured for non-aesthetic purposes, where function is the primary criterion. Technical textiles include textiles for automotive applications, medical textiles, geotextiles, agrotextiles, and protective clothing.
HDC Hyundai Development Company was created in 2018 through a spin-off from HDC Group's holding company HDC Holdings. The company is active in real estate development, construction and hospitality.
Polybutylene (polybutene-1, poly(1-butene), PB-1) is a polyolefin or saturated polymer with the chemical formula (C4H8)n. It should not be confused with polybutene, a low molecular weight oligomer.
Borealis AG is an Austrian chemical company which is the world's eighth largest producer of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). It is headquartered in Vienna, Austria.
Plastic pipe is a tubular section, or hollow cylinder, made of plastic. It is usually, but not necessarily, of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow—liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders and masses of small solids. It can also be used for structural applications; hollow pipes are far stiffer per unit weight than solid members.
Hyundai's Kappa automobile engine series consists of three-cylinder and four-cylinder models.
Hyundai Motor India Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hyundai Motor Company headquartered in South Korea. It is the second largest automobile manufacturer with 16.2% market share as of February 2019 and US$5.5 billion turn-over in India.
Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic compounds that are malleable and so can be molded into solid objects.
The automotive industry in South Korea is the sixth-largest in the world measured by automobile unit production and the seventh-largest by automobile export volume.
The automotive industry in Egypt has been developing for 50 years. It can sell more than 200,000 vehicles annually and is now the second-largest market in Africa and the 42nd largest in the world, with an annual production output of over 70,000 vehicles. After experiencing many failures and success, the Egyptian Automotive industry is more focussing on assembly operations, rather than manufacturing.
