HOME > Company > Company Introduction > Welcome
I hope that you will have the opportunity to learn about the past, present and the future of HCC. HCC is proud to be the original producer in Korea of one of the world’s most important plastics, PVC, which we started in 1966. We were also the first to produce LDPE, LLDPE, and CA, laying the foundation for Korea's petrochemical industry and helping it become one of the most advanced in the world.
As a leader in the petrochemical industry, HCC strives to be a partner in the success of our customers as we value not only the quality of our products, but also the health and safety of people and the environment. To this end, we are committed to maintaining our leadership position and competitiveness, focusing on further strengthening these traits in our core businesses and developing specialized products with high added value. We are also committed to developing and supporting new businesses, including those related to environmental and electronics materials.
HCC is structuring itself to consistently generate profit when competing internationally by strengthening the competitiveness of our CA, PVC, and PE businesses, which already enjoy a dominant competitive advantage in Korea. We are also working to provide optimal quality and customized services through our continuing research and development projects, and are committed to remaining a leader in the petrochemical industry. The company’s sound and stable operations are further enhanced through our business engineering activities designed to promote greater cooperation among employees, increase savings in energy and costs, and to improve productivity and quality by ensuring a healthy corporate culture.
New businesses have been selected and highlighted as next-generation areas of growth for our company. Our focus is not confined to technology as a business; instead we are also directing our efforts towards the development of innovative electronic materials such as the production of ceramic powders using supercritical nano technology, and energy-efficient conductive balls. By investing in new businesses, we are securing stable sources of profit that will remain unaffected by future changes in the petrochemical market. Also, HCC is targeting the global market by strengthening its position in China, further expanding its already vast sales network.
HCC has set a new paradigm and direction for environmental protection and recognizes the central importance of the environment and safety. Based on these concepts, HCC created “ECO-YHES,” a set of guidelines related to the environment, safety, and quality, and is working diligently to ensure that its businesses operate in an ethical manner, upholding the importance of transparency and fairness. Furthermore, to truly become an upstanding corporate citizen playing a beneficial and responsible role in society, our employees participate in a wide variety of activities that are aimed at making a contribution to the public welfare.
We are committed to being a sustainable business through performance improvements in each of our three focus areas: core business and new business development, global corporatization and environmental management, ethics management and social contributions.
Thank you once again for taking the time to visit our website. I hope that the materials you find here will provide you with a better understanding of the petrochemical industry. I also hope that you will learn more about Hanwha Chemical, and our efforts to transform ourselves into a major player on the global stage as we take the lead in making changes and reform, pursuing innovation, and continuing to earn the trust of our customers and of society as a whole.
