It would be difficult to start talking about Hanwha without two words: trust and loyalty.

These ideas have been the core values of Hanwha since its beginning, and they have acted as a compass throughout its decades.

Founded in 1952, Hanwha began its business by manufacturing dynamite and other explosives during a time of national crisis—when the Korean War was coming to an end, leaving the nation in ruins. Few companies were willing to take on the risks.

“To make explosives, precision is key, since everything must occur at an exact instant, in an exact way,” said Chong-Hee Kim, Founder of the Hanwha Group. “For this kind of control, we must trust one another completely.”

This emphasis on teamwork and precision during Hanwha’s earliest days allowed a strong and unique culture to develop and become forever embedded into our company’s corporate DNA.

During the following years of rapid growth, Hanwha expanded its business into various sectors and regions. Later, it was one of the few companies to survive the Asian economic crisis in 1997 and the global economic crisis in 2008. During good times and bad, the people of Hanwha stood behind our core values of trust and loyalty.

Today, Hanwha is a world leader in solar energy and in construction. We are building an entire city – the largest project currently under construction in the Middle East by a South Korean company.

It is also a major player in the global finance industry, continuously adapting to today’s rapidly changing financial landscapes and providing financial solutions that give customers the freedom to pursue their dreams.

Although many companies talk about the value of trust and loyalty, there is only a few that actually put those ideas into action.

For Hanwha, 'value' always comes first before its business, since Hanwha is focused on how and why the company is walking this path.

Hanwha has a solid reputation for keeping promises with partners and customers, for valuing long-term relationships, and for contributing to society. This is the spirit of Hanwha.

My name is Eddie Jung, and I am the editor of “Hanwha & Hanwha People,” the corporate magazine of the Hanwha Group.

Rather than talking about it, why don’t you meet the actual people of Hanwha and see for yourself?

He’s right. Seeing my dad’s work, I realized Hanwha’s mechatronics technology is something to be grateful for.

It does work that a human can’t do, because it’s too dangerous or requires extreme precision. It keeps the industry on the cutting edge, and makes our lives easier.

If this technology keeps improving, one day we’ll live in the world that was once just in our imagination.

As a partner of Hanwha, you’re treated like family.
So the partner grows, when Hanwha grows.
It’s a formula where we both grow together.
What I’m most grateful for, is that Hanwha trusts us as partners and treats us like we’re part of one big family.

So when it comes to working with Hanwha, we consider it to be a top priority project for us. It’s a result of the trust we’ve built.

Editor)
The thread that weaves through 60-plus years of Hanwha history is trust.

Our partners are also our family…
It’s a sincere trust and loyalty you’ll naturally sense in Hanwha.

After having interviewed the people of Hanwha,
I realized that today’s Hanwha wasn’t built by the strength of any one individual. The people of Hanwha, are strengthened together by a bond of unwavering trust.

If every encounter, every relationship is precious and builds trust, success is sure to follow. Hanwha and all its partners in a future where we smile together in a relationship that last a lifetime

This is Hanwha’s promise.

The people I’ve met at Hanwha then and now show dedication and passion for their work, and a trust in each other that leads to trust from our customers.
