Sinsung ENG Announces Regular Executive Appointments to Expand Overseas Business

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Sinsung ENG has carried out executive personnel changes focusing on performance-based promotion and new business.

Sinsung ENG announced on the 23rd that it held a personnel committee meeting and conducted the regular executive personnel appointments for 2023.

As Sinsung ENG stands at the center of growth and change, it focused on checking the status of globalization and new business preparations and strengthening the competitiveness of existing businesses. This year's executive appointments focused on performance-based promotion and future competitiveness. Personnel were assigned based on responsible management to accelerate innovation. Internal talents were discovered through objective performance evaluation criteria and appointed as vice presidents in key business divisions.

Lee Young-il, Executive Director of the Clean Environment (CE) Business Division, who led the record-high performance last year, will be promoted to Vice President. Vice President Lee is an expert with extensive experience in air conditioning technology related to semiconductor and display production facilities. Having worked at Sinsung ENG for 28 years, he has overseen the CE Business Division and successfully led the cleanroom business. The company explained that, as the newly established Jeungpyeong plant expanded new businesses such as industrial air conditioners, talents in related fields were placed appropriately.

Oh Dong-hoon, Executive Director of the CE Business Division DT Headquarters, was also appointed as Vice President. Vice President Oh is a digital expert who built the ‘Yongin Smart Factory,’ known as Korea’s representative smart factory, by realizing collaborative robots and automated processes. He was selected as the right person to expand the DT strategy and AI technology, which formed the foundation of the Yongin Smart Factory, to the entire company. As Sinsung ENG is relocating to a new office building in Gwacheon next month, this move aims to accelerate digitalization by introducing technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and cloud computing into work processes.

Kim Yeon-mo, Executive Director of the Global Secondary Battery Business Headquarters, will also be promoted to Vice President. Vice President Kim joined the company in 1996 and has accumulated experience in various overseas businesses. As the head of the overseas business division, he controlled operations centered on 10 branches in 9 countries from one location and successfully responded to the global secondary battery dry room demand. In particular, he achieved localization and increased overseas sales by about 50% last year.

Three personnel related to overseas business were promoted through the regular personnel appointments, reflecting Sinsung ENG’s strong will to expand overseas markets.

Internally nurtured talents were actively discovered strategically. Newly promoted Executive Directors include Seo Hong-seok of the CE Business Division and Kim Jong-rae of the Management Support Division. Executive Director Seo played a key role in driving sales growth by conducting sales activities targeting leading domestic and foreign companies. Executive Director Kim, a Ph.D. in Polymer Engineering from Seoul National University, oversees overall management planning at Sinsung ENG.

Four executives were promoted to Managing Director: Kim Tae-hyung, a dry room technology expert in the CE Business Division; Eom Su-bong, who oversaw eco-friendly high-output solar module production; Kim Shin-woo, responsible for legal affairs, IPR, and investments; and Lee A-ram, who led sales growth in the Southeast Asia region.

A Sinsung ENG official said, "We expanded the scope of executive promotions compared to previous years based on the principle of performance-based promotion and focused on personnel with expertise and core competencies in each field. We will maximize business expertise by division to lay the foundation for new growth and lead the future industrial ecosystem."
