(CEO Han Seong-mu), which visited on 'Field Administration Day' last October, has gained worldwide recognition for the technology of its self-developed screen doors, becoming a hot topic.

SKD HI-TEC Co., Ltd., located in Singeum Industrial Complex, Okgok-myeon, developed the vertical rope screen door (RSD), which has been highly evaluated for drastically improving the problems of existing screen doors and solving difficult conditions such as different train operations and curved platforms. It has received great responses not only from Bulgaria but also from overseas railway companies.

In particular, the city of Sofia, Bulgaria, requested additional installation at 10 stations, and Bulgarian broadcaster NOVA introduced the product's safety and excellent technology.

This project has established a solid foothold for expanding into the European market, and it is expected that more export contracts will be concluded, as contract requests have been received from 15 countries including France, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, Thailand, and Taiwan.

Han Seong-mu, CEO of SKD HI-TEC Co., Ltd., said, “I believe that discovering creative ideas and realizing those ideas to create high added value is the direction companies should take in this era,” adding, “We will achieve more results in the global export market with innovation and a challenging spirit as our weapons.”

Jung Hyun-bok, mayor of Gwangyang City, said, “During 'Field Administration Day,' when we can communicate most closely with citizens, I visited SKD HI-TEC Co., Ltd., saw their self-developed products, and was impressed by their safety and technological excellence,” adding, “I feel proud of the tremendous achievements made overseas despite the COVID-19 crisis, and I will do my best to actively support local companies to make Gwangyang a city favorable for business.”
