In the 1980s, HCC launched its CA (chlorine-caustic soda) business, and quickly became one of the major petrochemical companies in the world producing both organic and inorganic chemicals. HCC's state-of the-art research facilities and continued technological innovation have dramatically improved our technological capabilities and quality competitiveness to make us a leader in the PVC, LLDPE, LDPE, and CA markets not only in Korea, but in Asia as well.
We work to continually improve our corporate system through restructuring and business reengineering activities designed to save energy and costs, and to improve productivity and quality.
Now, HCC is positioned as a world-class company focused on developing next-generation business, areas including solar cells, carbon nano tubes, secondary battery materials, and biopharmaceuticals. while further strengthening our core businesses of PVC, PE, and CA.
Through consistent technological innovation, HCC has been pioneering development in the plastics industry since 1972, when we became the first company in Korea to produce polyethylene. Today, we are recognized as the largest producer of LDPE (370,000 tons annual capacity) and LLDPE (350,000 tons annual capacity) in Asia.

HCC has strengthened its position as a leading PVC producer has continuing to develop its technology and quality since its introduction plastics to the Korean market. PVC (Polyvinylchloride) is used for industrial products including pipes, sheets, and compounds, as well as household products such as wallpaper, toys, and erasers.

CA (Chlor-Alkali), or chlorine and alkali, refers to inorganic chemical products, developed with chlorine and caustic soda. In particular, caustic soda is widely used in a number of industries including textiles, chemicals, pulp, electronics, and soap manufacturre. As interest in protecting the environment grows, CA is increasingly used for tap water, wastewater treatment and gas treatment as part of efforts to protect water quality and prevent water pollution.

In addition to PE, PVC, and CA, we are developing and exploring new areas in environmental and electronic materials as possible growth engines for the future.
In the nanomaterials field, We focus on CNT (Carbon Nano Tube) commercialization and nanoparticle production technology. In the new and regenerated energy fields, it concentrates on solar cells projects for power generation, and in the future will expand into the production of polysilicon, silicon ingots, wafers and solar cell modules.
