Since establishing its factory in Gumi in 1980, Samsung Electronics' Gumi Plant has written a remarkable success story in the global mobile industry, from Anycall to Galaxy.

Samsung Electronics continues to strengthen the role of the Gumi Plant as a global hub for mobile core technologies, leading in development, manufacturing, and quality of the Galaxy line. In particular, the company is widely recognized by local residents for its community contribution programs, such as the 'Galaxy Photo Contest,' the 'Sharing Kiosk' (a local donation initiative for employees), and volunteer activities for major holidays.

Jangho Kim, Mayor of Gumi, stated, "Samsung Electronics' Gumi Plant, which plays a pivotal role in producing the global Galaxy smartphone, holds great significance for the city of Gumi in many ways. Many Gumi citizens still believe that 'when Samsung succeeds, Gumi prospers,' and continue to support the company. Just as the Anycall success story was written at the Gumi Plant in the past, we hope the Galaxy legend will continue, and we ask Samsung to play an even greater role in revitalizing the local economy."
