Previously, in December last year, Joongheung Group signed a stock purchase agreement to acquire 50.97% of Daewoo E&C's shares. Subsequently, after receiving corporate merger approval from the Fair Trade Commission in February this year, the acquisition was completed along with organizational restructuring. During this process, Joongheung Construction Group set a policy to independently operate Daewoo E&C's housing brand 'Prugio' while maintaining Daewoo E&C's independent management.



Chairman Jeong Chang-seon said, "CEO Baek Jeong-wan is highly trusted by Daewoo E&C employees and is the right person to lead Daewoo E&C's leap forward. I will do my best with all my capabilities to help Daewoo E&C become the world's top construction company."
