KHI has extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and market research across various industries. In the past, the company successfully acquired financially distressed companies undergoing court receivership and restored them to stable operations before successfully exiting the investments. These include well-known companies such as Monalisa, SsangYong C&B, and Elcanto.
Today, KHI continues to expand its business portfolio by focusing on companies that were previously under bank management or corporate rehabilitation proceedings, with shipbuilding and IT as its core business sectors.
In the shipbuilding sector, KHI acquired K Shipbuilding in 2021 and Daehan Shipbuilding in 2022, and has since been operating and managing both companies. Supported by the increase in global ship orders, these companies have achieved continuous improvements in both operational performance and competitiveness.
In the IT sector, KHI acquired ForceTec in 2023, a company that had previously managed the IT systems of the former STX Group and had also undergone corporate rehabilitation proceedings. KHI is currently strengthening collaboration among its shipbuilding affiliates by developing and integrating new IT systems through ForceTec, while enhancing the Group¡¯s overall digital competitiveness.
Going forward, KHI will continue to identify and acquire companies facing management difficulties and will dedicate the Group¡¯s accumulated experience and capabilities to transforming them into healthy and competitive enterprises once again.
Thank you.
