Installing 'Korean-made Screen Doors' in Bulgaria
Saenggiwon Transfers Technology to SMEs to Open Overseas Markets
Exports 11 Million Euros to Bulgaria Sofia State Railway Company
[Asia Economy Reporter Junho Hwang] Screen doors with up-and-down opening and closing mechanisms made with Korean technology will be installed in Bulgaria, a European country.
The Korea Institute of Industrial Technology announced on the 13th that it supported the technology of 'up-and-down opening and closing screen doors' to the small and medium-sized enterprise SKD HI-TEC Co., Ltd., enabling the company to achieve an export performance of 1 million euros to Sofia Metropolitan, the Bulgarian state-owned railway company.
Bulgaria operates various types of trains with different boarding and alighting positions, and there was high interest in the 'up-and-down opening and closing screen doors (hereinafter RSD),' which are more than 30% cheaper to install and have maintenance costs over 80% lower compared to fully sealed types. Accordingly, SKD HI-TEC Co., Ltd., which has been recognized for its technological capabilities by installing and operating screen doors in places such as Tokyo, Japan; Stockholm, Sweden; and domestic stations like Nonsan Station and Daegu Station, was approached.
However, to export to Bulgaria, it was necessary to develop 44m modules and others to fit the platform gaps in Bulgaria. SKD HI-TEC Co., Ltd. consulted Senior Researcher Euncheol Shin of the Robotics Application Research Division at the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, who developed various systems tailored to Bulgaria's requirements. Researcher Shin said, "I am pleased that the accumulated technical know-how could be utilized as technical support needed in the field," and added, "We will continue to provide support whenever small and medium-sized enterprises face technical difficulties."

Hansungmoo, CEO of SKD HI-TEC Co., Ltd., said, "As a local small and medium-sized enterprise, it is difficult to hire excellent research personnel, but the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology has been a great help," and added, "We plan to expand the application to pedestrian crossings and bus-only lanes in the future, and technical support from the institute is essential."
