Dongkuk Steel Group Celebrates 69th Anniversary Following Split

Vice Chairman Jang Se-wook: "You Must Make Efforts Yourself and Have Competitiveness"

Jang Se-wook, Vice Chairman of Dongkuk Holdings, emphasized the importance of "making efforts on your own and having competitiveness" on the occasion of the 69th anniversary of the founding of Dongkuk Steel Group.

On the 6th, Dongkuk Holdings, Dongkuk Steel, and Dongkuk CM held founding anniversary events at their offices on each floor of the Ferrum Tower headquarters in Euljiro, Seoul. Dongkuk Holdings decided to maintain July 7, the founding anniversary of Dongkuk Steel before the split, and the newly established companies Dongkuk Steel and Dongkuk CM also adopted the same date as their founding anniversary.

On this day, Dongkuk Holdings held a long-term service award ceremony and shared founding greetings. Jang Se-wook, Vice Chairman of Dongkuk Holdings, said, "It is meaningful as it is the first founding anniversary under the new name," adding, "I think it is similar to when we started with 40 people in Dangsan-dong in 1954."

He continued, "You are the first seniors of Dongkuk Holdings, and to be remembered as meaningful seniors, you must make efforts on your own and have competitiveness," urging the executives and employees, "I hope you study, work hard, and have a learning attitude, and carry the mindset that you are the main players of the company."

Choi Sam-young, Vice President of Dongkuk Steel, also told the executives and employees, "We are at a new starting point. It is time to focus on independently enhancing the company's competitiveness," and said, "Based on the Steel for Green strategy, let us surely find another growth momentum and achieve great development."

Park Sang-hoon, Vice President of Dongkuk CM, said, "The reason bamboo grows the tallest compared to its thickness is because it has nodes," and added, "Let us prepare and execute so that change can serve as a foundation for new growth."

Dongkuk Steel plans to carry out volunteer activities for the founding anniversary. Various activities such as experiential learning linked with local children's centers and wallpaper and flooring support for households affected by typhoons will be conducted at five business sites including the headquarters. Dongkuk CM has prepared a community win-win event. In preparation for the early heatwave, they plan to provide health food to nearby welfare centers.
