SK Chemicals has integrated its dispersed workspaces at the Ulsan plant to establish a new comprehensive management space.

On the 1st, SK Chemicals announced the completion of the newly constructed comprehensive management building, G-House, at its Ulsan plant, which produces green chemical products such as copolyester and circular recycling materials.

G-House embodies the meaning of 'Green' materials pursued by SK Chemicals, including circular recycling materials made from waste plastics and bio-based materials derived from natural ingredients.

The Ulsan plant, playing a central role in the green materials business, has a fully integrated copolyester production system and produces key raw materials such as CHDM (Cyclohexanedimethanol), along with copolyester product lines including SKYGREEN and ECOZEN. It also manufactures circular recycling materials recently emphasized, such as SKYPET CR and copolyester ECOTRIA, which use waste plastics as raw materials. Additionally, the bio-based material ECOTRION, made from industrial starch used in spandex, artificial leather, and urethane elastic materials, is produced at the Ulsan plant.

G-House, completed with a total floor area of 7,100㎡ over four above-ground floors, consolidates the previously scattered office and technical departments such as management support, safety and environment, and engineering, as well as welfare spaces like the cafeteria, into one location within the Ulsan plant. The company expects this to facilitate smoother collaboration and communication between departments. Furthermore, welfare facilities including the employee cafeteria, health care room, and fitness space have been upgraded with the latest equipment to improve working conditions and convenience for employees.

Meanwhile, by integrating four existing buildings into one with the completion of G-House, SK Chemicals has secured approximately 27,000㎡ of land that can be used for new businesses and additional expansions of existing facilities in the future.

Yoo Ho-seop, Head of Production Infrastructure at SK Chemicals, stated, "The completion of G-House is significant as it not only enhances collaboration and communication and improves working conditions for employees to increase work efficiency but also creates an environment to more efficiently and swiftly advance new future businesses." He added, "We plan to continuously accumulate and upgrade production infrastructure and technology to flexibly respond to the rapidly growing circular recycling materials market and environmental changes."
