The "Happy Together Donation Ceremony" was held at Icheon City Hall on the 18th, attended by Lee Jongseong, Vice President of Production and Logistics Strategy at Simmons, Kim Kyunghee, Mayor of Icheon, and other representatives from both sides.


Vice President Lee said, "As a company that works closely with the local community, we are making donations so that our neighbors can enjoy a more abundant holiday. In addition to this donation, we will continue to strengthen our cooperation with Icheon City in various fields."


In addition to holiday donations, Simmons has also been engaging with the local community by hosting the "Farmers Market," a direct sales market for agricultural products, and cultural sharing events such as the "Christmas Tree and Illumination Lighting" at Simmons Terrace since 2018.


Last year, the company donated mattresses worth 100 million won to the local community. In 2020, Simmons purchased local agricultural products worth 100 million won to support farmers affected by COVID-19, record-breaking monsoon rains, and heavy downpours.



Other ongoing initiatives include operating internship programs to encourage employment for immigrant families, donating books and clothing to local children's centers and the YMCA, and organizing plogging activities with residents of villages near the Simmons Factoryum, demonstrating a continued commitment to the local community.
