[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] Kumho Construction announced on the 29th that it has unified its trade name, which had been used interchangeably as 'Kumho Industrial' and 'Kumho Construction' for 22 years, under the name 'Kumho Construction.'

Kumho Construction was founded in 1967 as Jeil Civil Engineering and Architecture and has used the trade name Kumho Construction since 1978. In 1999, during the integration of several business divisions within Kumho Construction, the trade name Kumho Industrial was also used concurrently.

For various licenses, contracts, and dealings with related organizations, the trade name Kumho Industrial was used, while Kumho Construction was used for construction projects such as housing sales. A Kumho Construction official stated, "The use of mixed trade names caused confusion among customers," and emphasized, "We will unify the trade name as Kumho Construction and grow into a company that enhances customer value."

The stock name 'Kumho Industrial,' listed on the Korea Exchange, will also be changed to Kumho Construction and is expected to be applied from mid-next month. The stock code number remains the same as the existing number, 002990. Since its founding, Kumho Construction has secured outstanding construction capabilities and extensive experience across all construction fields, including housing, architecture, civil engineering, plants, and environment.

Recently, the company succeeded in commercializing 'biogas technology' that produces energy using livestock manure and food waste, and in the water treatment sector, which is growing as a next-generation food industry, it has commercialized water purification technology using membranes, gaining recognition for its technological capabilities.

A Kumho Construction official explained, "Since the unification of the trade name to Kumho Construction, we are making efforts to enhance corporate value in various ways, including discovering next-generation food industries, securing new technologies, and entering new businesses."
