Hanssem introduces 6 billion KRW automation equipment with partners... Completes window production value expanded 2.5 times
Investment in Automation Equipment for 4 Window Manufacturing Partners
Plan to Expand to 200 Billion KRW in Sales
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Hanssem announced on the 18th that it will expand the maximum annual production value of finished windows to 200 billion KRW in sales by investing 6 billion KRW in automation equipment for four window manufacturing partners.
Hanssem recently introduced automation equipment to promote mutual growth with window manufacturing partners and to stably supply high-quality windows, as the remodeling market is rapidly growing. In April, automation equipment was introduced and quality tests were conducted at two window manufacturing partners located in the metropolitan area, and the factories recently began operations.
These factories produce Hanssem's new window product, 'Euro 700.' The cutting, processing, and assembly processes of PVC profiles, which were previously done manually, have been automated, and productivity is expected to improve by more than 50%.
The finishing quality of the windows will also be greatly improved. The gap between the corner joints of materials such as sashes and frames will be reduced to about 0.12 mm, which is one-third of the previous size, through the automated process. Compared to general windows, the exposure of seams at the corner joints is minimized, resulting in higher completeness.
Hanssem plans to introduce additional automation equipment to one partner in Yeongnam and one in Honam by early next year, in addition to the two metropolitan area window manufacturing partners whose factories have started operations. The total investment scale is about 6 billion KRW, and the maximum annual production value will expand more than 2.5 times to 200 billion KRW in sales.
Along with the introduction of automation equipment, the '10-Year Window Quality Warranty' will also be introduced starting this month. The PVC frames of the windows are guaranteed for up to 10 years, hardware such as handles and locks for 5 years, and auxiliary materials for up to 2 years.
