Hanwha Co., Ltd. Restructures Trade Division Business... Implements Voluntary Retirement Program

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Hanwha Corporation is reorganizing some of its trade division businesses to strengthen its own business competitiveness and improve management efficiency.

Hanwha Corporation announced on the 1st that it held a board meeting and decided to integrate the petrochemical business of the trade division into the explosives and defense sector, and the machinery business into the machinery sector to enhance profitability and create synergy within its own businesses, while continuing its trade agency operations. Due to the reorganization of the trade division, some idle personnel have inevitably led to voluntary retirement being implemented.

Hanwha Corporation is conducting this selective and focused business reorganization as a proactive response to the rapidly changing management environment and increasing uncertainties. Based on this, the company plans to create future value for its own businesses and maximize shareholder value.

To this end, Hanwha expects to improve profitability by approximately 20 billion KRW annually by integrating and operating businesses with potential for continuous expansion under other divisions, maximizing synergy between internal businesses, and enhancing management efficiency. Meanwhile, businesses with unclear prospects, such as steel and food, will be phased out.

A Hanwha Corporation official explained, "This business reorganization was carried out to strengthen the efficiency of our own businesses," adding, "Through this, we will improve the company's profits and losses, increase shareholder value, and secure future value."
