On February 11, Gimcheon City in North Gyeongsang Province held a completion ceremony for the 'Gimcheon Tuning Industry Support Center', attended by the Mayor of Gimcheon, National Assembly members, and other key stakeholders.

The 'Gimcheon Tuning Industry Support Center' has been established at 1469 Danam-ri, Eomo-myeon, with a site area of 4,645 square meters (approximately 1,400 pyeong), a building area of 1,388 square meters (approximately 420 pyeong), and a total floor area of 2,057 square meters (approximately 620 pyeong). It is equipped with specialized equipment for performance testing of automobile tuning parts, as well as support infrastructure that assists tuning companies with certification procedures.

This facility project was promoted to expand the automotive industry infrastructure in the region and to support research and development activities of tenant companies, in line with the rapidly growing automobile tuning market and the increasing demand for next-generation advanced vehicles.

With the tuning support system, which had previously been concentrated in the Seoul metropolitan area, now established in Gimcheon City in the Yeongnam region, the synergy effect in connection with the nearby Tuning Safety Technology Institute is expected to be maximized. In particular, by leveraging Gimcheon City's geographical advantage as a major transportation hub, the city is expected to capture tuning demand from across the Yeongnam region and inject new vitality into local industrial development.

National Assembly member Song Eon-seok, who attended the event, said, "I hope that the Gimcheon Tuning Industry Support Center will become a solid foundation for the development of the automobile tuning industry, which is a future new growth engine for Gimcheon City, and I will actively support the revitalization of the local economy."

In addition, Gimcheon City, which led the project, stated, "With the recent enactment of the 'Regulations on Automobile Tuning', awareness of automobile tuning is expected to improve and related new industries are expected to develop in the future, so we will do our best to respond preemptively to changes in the tuning industry and to actively attract related companies."
