Chairman Choi Pyeong-gyu said, "We have reached the 44th anniversary of SNT's founding amid the Great Reset era of the global economy," and expressed his gratitude, saying, "I deeply thank the employees who have continuously overcome countless crises over the past 44 years and have together created the valuable history of SNT in Korea's precision machinery manufacturing industry through their challenges and dedication."

Chairman Choi recalled, "In the ruins of the Korean War, with the single-minded determination that the country must prosper by advancing technology first, the bold spirit of 'research and development and pioneering export markets,' practiced wearing oil-stained work clothes to serve the nation through technology (技術報國), is what built today's 'advanced Republic of Korea.'"

He continued, addressing young engineers living in the advanced country era, "You must creatively develop the precious assets left by the senior generations who passed down the great DNA of the Korean people and lead the world as first movers in this era of great transformation."

He also urged, "Based on the value of future-oriented service to the nation through technology, I hope you design boldly and courageously enter the global market."

Chairman Choi diagnosed, "The global economy is undergoing upheaval due to decoupling. It is a turbulent Great Reset era where not a single day can be taken lightly," and emphasized, "Nevertheless, we have responded quietly but heavily and steadfastly like Mount Tai, following Admiral Yi Sun-sin's strategy of calmness and gravity (靜重如山)."

He added, "In particular, based on trust (信) and righteousness (義) toward the nation and customers, we have further enhanced our technological development capabilities and focused on pioneering overseas markets," and "We have also fulfilled social responsibilities together with the Unhae Scholarship Foundation and strived for ESG management."

Chairman Choi Pyeong-gyu said, "SNT's bold challenge toward becoming a silent hidden champion is showing brilliant results not only in the existing North American and German markets but also in Turkey, Poland, Saudi Arabia, and others," and urged employees, "Now, let us repay our wider markets and customers with our more advanced technology and better quality."

At the ceremony, the SNT Grand Prize was also awarded to employees who contributed excellently to the company's development in the fields of ▲R&D ▲global marketing ▲production quality innovation over the past year.
