Launched as Korea's First Steel Company
Compiling the History of Contributions to the National Economy

Hyundai Steel, celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, has published the "Hyundai Steel 70-Year Company History," which compiles the company's 70 years of history.


Founded in 1953 as Korea's first steel company, "Daehan Heavy Industries Corporation," Hyundai Steel took the lead in rebuilding the national economy amid the ruins of war during its early years. Since then, it has grown into a global steel company through its incorporation into the Hyundai Group in 1978 and later into the Hyundai Motor Group in 2000.


In 2004, Hyundai Steel acquired Hanbo Steel, which had triggered the IMF bailout crisis. Building on this, the company successfully completed the construction of an integrated steel mill, fulfilling its corporate responsibility for national economic stability and growth.

The 70-year company history of Hyundai Steel clearly organizes the company's growth and development alongside modern Korean history. It includes various materials and information such as business status and vision, financial statements over the past 70 years, and production trends, enhancing its value as a historical resource.


The publication consists of two volumes: the "Chronology" volume, which introduces the company's history and vision through text and data, and the "Photo Album" volume, which captures key moments over the past 70 years in photographs.


The "Photo Album" volume offers a rich visual experience by including not only historical record photos but also images of Hyundai Steel’s five domestic business sites and overseas subsidiaries located in regions such as the Americas, Europe, and India.
