[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jung-gu, Seoul (Mayor Seoyangho) is accelerating the Printing Smart Anchor construction project after signing a public land development consignment contract with Seoul Housing and Communities Corporation (hereinafter SH Corporation) on the 26th.

The Printing Smart Anchor is an R&D facility equipped for the leap into the 4th industrial era, serving as a production facility and workspace with ICT-based manufacturing infrastructure and collaboration systems. It is a so-called "smart factory" where planning, production, and marketing of printing are conducted in a one-stop process.

Through this project, a collaborative production system by process will be established to optimize small-lot, multi-variety production, increase sales of small printing companies, enhance competitiveness, and realize the smartization of urban manufacturing industries.

The anchor will be created by receiving a 1,198㎡ site as a donation in accordance with the Sewoon Redevelopment Promotion Plan, located in Zone 6-3-4 (around 85-5 Mareunnae-ro, Jung-gu).

It will be a building with 3 basement floors and 12 above-ground floors, mainly providing space for printing companies, and will include R&D facilities, prototype production rooms, residential spaces, youth dormitories, and parking lots.

The district gathered opinions from local printing professionals and reflected them in the project by subdividing targets by field and process, such as printing artisans, printing machinery businesses, and designers, mainly focusing on Sewoon Zone 6-4. Since 2019, a total of 5.06 billion KRW in national and city funds has been secured, establishing a stable driving force for project promotion.

In December last year, the district council approved the district-owned property management plan, and with the contract signing with SH Corporation on the 26th of this month, SH Corporation will be responsible for ▲Smart Anchor construction ▲facility management, etc.

Seoyangho, Mayor of Jung-gu, said, "The printing industry around Chungmuro and Euljiro is currently facing difficulties due to outdated environments and weakened competitiveness. By promoting the Printing Smart Anchor, we will attract younger generations to the printing industry and enable all printing processes to be carried out in one place, doubling competitiveness. Through innovation in people, technology, and space, we will revitalize urban industrial regeneration."
