Company Description

Hyundai Precison Industry, founded in 1977, made a bigger re-start in July 1999 with its new name, Hyundai Rotem Company as the result of the Government Big Deal No.1 that merged the railway vehicle business of Hyundai Precision Industry, Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction, and Daewoo Heavy Industries & Machinery in order to reinforce the nation's competitiveness in the global railway market.
