HD Hyundai "Executives to Obtain Excavator Certifications Accordingly"

Expansion of Executives from Three Construction Machinery Companies to All Affiliates

HD Hyundai announced on the 24th that it will expand the eligibility for the construction equipment certification support system from executives and team leaders of the three construction machinery companies (HD Hyundai Site Solutions, HD Hyundai Infracore, and HD Hyundai Construction Equipment) to all group executives starting next year.

HD Hyundai views the construction machinery business as a core group business that has grown significantly. It was determined that even those who are not employees of the three construction machinery companies need to enhance their understanding of the industry. The construction machinery sector recorded sales of 4.7802 trillion KRW and an operating profit of 502.5 billion KRW in the first half of this year, accounting for about half of the group’s operating profit.

Starting next year, HD Hyundai group executives will be able to receive free certification training regardless of their affiliation or responsibilities. The support target is a license for operating small construction machinery under 3 tons (excavators and forklifts).

The training will be conducted at the HD Hyundai Infracore Ansan Technical Training Center and the HD Hyundai Construction Equipment Eumseong Global Training Center. Theoretical and practical training will be provided over one night and two days.

For the three construction machinery companies, license training for small excavators and forklifts has been provided annually to executives and team leaders who wish to participate. So far, 30% of those in leadership positions have obtained the license.

HD Hyundai expects that by expanding the system, it will cultivate its executives as integrated leaders of the group and enhance synergy among businesses within the group.

An HD Hyundai official said, "This will be an opportunity to increase understanding and interest in the construction machinery sector, which has grown into a core business of the group just two years after the launch of the three companies," adding, "We will continue to introduce various linkage methods among group businesses such as shipbuilding, energy, and construction machinery."
