[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] KCC, KCC Glass, and KCC Silicon were selected as the number one companies in nine categories related to building materials at the '2021 Korea Quality Satisfaction Index (KS-QEI) Certification Award Ceremony' held on the 22nd at the Korea Standards Association DT Center in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

The award categories were as follows: KCC in five categories including △water-based paint △oil-based paint △gypsum board ceiling materials △glass wool insulation △window sets; KCC Glass in three categories including △PVC flooring △low-emissivity glass △decoration film; and KCC Silicon in the △sealant (silicone) category.

The Korea Quality Satisfaction Index (KS-QEI) is a quality measurement model jointly developed by the Korea Standards Association and the Korean Society for Quality Management, reflecting customer satisfaction and product (service) characteristics for products and services. It is regarded as a highly reliable index because it incorporates not only consumer opinions from those who purchased or used the products but also evaluations from product experts.

KCC has maintained the number one position for several years in each category, including seven consecutive years for water-based and oil-based paints, five consecutive years for gypsum board ceiling materials, and three consecutive years for glass wool insulation. Notably, this year, KCC also secured first place in the window category, once again proving its excellence as a leading company in the domestic building materials and paint industry with outstanding products and corporate capabilities.

KCC Glass was selected as number one for 12 consecutive years in PVC flooring, five consecutive years in low-emissivity glass (coated glass), and two consecutive years in decoration film. It received high evaluations compared to other companies' products in both usage quality, which assesses performance, reliability, durability, and safety, and emotional quality, which evaluates product image and customer product awareness.

KCC Silicon's architectural sealant was recorded as the number one product for 10 consecutive years. The architectural sealant brand 'KCC Koreseal' received high marks as a trustworthy product line that considers consumer safety and health with high functionality. In particular, KCC Silicon has been continuously conducting a genuine and accurate quantity sealant campaign to prevent consumer damage caused by sealant products that do not meet KS standards or have inconsistent volumes in the market.

A KCC official stated, "Winning first place in the KS-QEI is highly meaningful as it recognizes the quality of our products not only from experts in each field but also from consumers who directly purchased the products." He added, "We are especially honored to reaffirm our leading position in the building materials industry by securing first place consecutively in nine diverse building materials categories over many years."
