https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2507M03] AUTOTOP Co., Ltd. is a Korean manufacturer of auto parts that specializes in producing water pumps, oil pumps, thermostats, damper pulleys and oil control valves ― all of which are crucial components of automobile engines.
AUTOTOP set about production with ceaseless research and development and continuous quality management since 1993. As a result, its quality excellence is recognized in overseas markets as well as domestically.
AUTOTOP produces the largest quantity of water pumps, oil pumps, thermostats, and damper pulleys for automobiles in Korea. In addition, the company also supplies these parts for Japanese, American, and European cars, and is currently exporting its products to more than 50 countries worldwide.

Water Pump
The function of AUTOTP’s water pump is to cool the engine by facilitating the flow of coolant from the radiator to the cylinder`s water jacket.
The water pump is a key engine part responsible for circulating coolant within the engine. It effectively manages engine heat, preventing overheating and maintaining optimal operating temperatures.

Oil Pump
The function of AUTOTOP’s oil pump is to pressurize engine oil from the oil pan, and then pumping it throughout the engine. Due to the pressurization from the oil pump, oil that has been purified through filters can then properly flow into various parts of the internal combustion engine.
The oil pump is a critical part that ensures the circulation of engine oil, facilitating both lubrication and cooling. Proper engine oil supply is essential to reduce engine wear and optimize performance. If an oil pump failure occurs, it can cause engine damage, which emphasizes the need for regular inspection and maintenance.

Thermostat
AUTOTOP’s thermostat is a part of the temperature-control system in the engine body. When the engine is cold, the thermostat is closed and the coolant is recalculated within the engine until the temperature is increased. It enables the circulation of coolant once the engine reaches a certain temperature, thereby preventing overheating.
If the thermostat fails, it can cause temperature imbalances, leading to performance issues and potential engine damage. Therefore, regular inspection and replacement are crucial.
“Our mission is to become an international auto parts manufacturer based on accumulated product development capabilities, quality competitiveness, and customer satisfaction,” emphasized the company’s CEO.

Vegetarian Restaurants with Michelin Green Star Taste

June 23, 2025 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

Other than fame, what do Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, and Zendaya all have in common? They have all chosen to live a vegetarian lifestyle! Vegetarianism is a popular dietary option among the younger generation who have a big heart for animal welfare and the world climate. It’s no surprise that vegetarianism has also spread throughout Korea, with many restaurants catering to these diners. Among these, there are two restaurants that are well known for their outstanding taste, even earning the Michelin Green Star.

Michelin Green Star, environmental friendly recognition

The Michelin Guide, the international guide to fine dining, released the Michelin Green Star rating system in 2021. This new addition gives stars to restaurants that use environmentally friendly ingredients to make their tasty dishes. There are two restaurants in Seoul that have earned this prestigious award for three years in a row! For a high-quality vegan experience, visit A Flower Blossom on The Rice or Hwanggeum Kongbat.

A Flower Blossom on The Rice, vegetarian dining as beautiful as a flower

Location | Within Insa-dong, a top attraction in Seoul. Three-minute walk from Anguk Station (Seoul Subway Line 3)
Introduction | A Flower Blossom on The Rice showcases just how beautiful a Korean vegetarian restaurant can be. Ninety-five percent of the restaurant’s ingredients are organic, pesticide-free, and animal welfare certified ingredients. The eggs come from chickens with a large area to roam, and the rice is cultivated by farmers who do not use pesticides.

Signature menus | A Flower Blossom on The Rice’s signature menus are the bojagi bibimbap (limited lunch special) and the vegan course. The bojagi bibimbap is made by wrapping the rice in a sheet of fried egg yolk layers and decorated with a strip of seaweed and an edible flower. The rice filling is made with organic rice and six types of green vegetables for a hearty meal. The vegan course can be ordered as a full course or a half course, with each option including only 100% vegan foods. The course begins with a soup and salad before leading into savory vegetable pancakes and kimchi before the main course of rice and a stew, rounded out by dessert. Must-try dishes include the goatsbeard rice enjoyed by Michael Jackson during his trips to Korea, and the spicy Korean chili pepper japchae that comes with the full vegan course.

Tip | For non-vegetarians ordering the vegan course, you can also order side menus made with fish or meat, such as the tteok bulgogi (rice cake bulgogi) made with organic hanu (Korean beef).
Address: 3-6 Insadong 16-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul
Operating hours: 11:30-21:00 (Break time 15:00-17:30) / Closed the day of Seollal (Lunar New Year’s Day) & Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving Day)
Website: http://www.goodbab.co.kr

Hwanggeum Kongbat, a new world of bean curd cooking

Location | A five-minute walk from Aeogae Station on Seoul Subway Line 5. It’s also a short 20-minute ride on the subway from Seoul Station.
Introduction | Bean curd is one of the main ingredients used in vegetarian meals, thanks to the high level of protein found in soy beans, making it a good substitute for meat. At Hwanggeum Kongbat, the bean curd is made fresh every morning using 100% Korea-grown soy beans. Their bean curd became famous for its nutty flavor and smooth texture like that of pudding. The restaurant sends the soy bean pulp leftover from making the bean curd to farms to be used as animal fodder, earning high points from the Michelin Guide, which gives points for lower amounts of food waste!

Signature menus | Hwanggeum Kongbat’s main menus are bean curd stew, salted bean curd soup, and bean curd course meal. If you enjoy spicy Korean food, try the bean curd stew, a dish served piping hot and spiced with Korean chili peppers. The salty bean curd soup is made with a vegetable broth salted with shrimp brine, making this dish only acceptable for pescatarians and pollotarians. If you order the bean curd course meal, you can try all of the restaurant’s signature dishes. From fresh bean curd made with just soy beans, water, and salt, to vegetable and tofu balls for vegetarians and bossam made with undyed pork for non-vegetarians, this course has something for everyone to enjoy.

Tip | Be sure to try the fresh bean curd without seasoning first. This way you’ll be able to taste the nutty flavor of the fresh bean curd!
Address: 9 Mapo-daero 16-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul
Operating hours: Weekdays 11:30-21:30, Weekends 11:30-21:00 (Break time 15:30-17:00) / Closed Seollal (Lunar New Year) & Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) holidays

If you are a vegetarian planning a trip to Korea, be sure to also check the “Tips for Vegetarians” page on the VISITKOREA website for more information, including recommended menus.

Exports of Semiconductors Record the Highest-Ever Level

June 23, 2025 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

Other key export items, however, decreased in May

Korea’s exports in May turned downward for the first time in four months. While exports of semiconductors, a key product, recorded the highest level ever in May, exports of key items such as automobiles and petrochemical products decreased. Exports to the USA and China, Korea’s two largest markets, both decreased by 8%.
According to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE), total exports in May amounted to $57.27 billion, down 1.3% from a year ago. This is the first time in four months that monthly exports have decreased compared to the same month last year since January (-10.1%).
Out of the 15 major export items, 10 items saw a decrease in exports. Steel and automobile exports to the United States, which are subject to a 25% tariff, decreased by 12.4% and 4.4%, respectively, compared to the previous year. During this period, exports of petroleum products and petrochemical products decreased by 20.9% and 20.8%, respectively. This is the result of the sharp drop in prices of both items due to the low oil price trend that has continued since the inauguration of the Trump administration in the United States.

Looking at Korea’s exports by region, they decreased in all seven of the nine major markets except for the European Union (EU) and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Exports to China decreased by 8.4% year-on-year to $10.4 billion due to a drop in exports of semiconductors and petrochemicals, the largest export items. Exports to the USA, where the impact of reciprocal and product tariffs started to be felt in earnest, also decreased by 8.1% to $10 billion during this period.
Despite the sluggish export performance by item and region, the total export decrease was limited to 1% because semiconductors, the largest export item, showed a record-breaking performance. In May, semiconductor exports surged by 21.2% year-on-year to $13.79 billion. This is the third consecutive month of double-digit growth and the largest May performance ever.
“In the case of semiconductors, the export of high value-added memory such as high bandwidth memory (HBM) and double data rate 5 (DDR5) continued to be brisk, while fixed prices also showed an upward trend,” explained a spokesperson for MOTIE.
Exports of wireless communication devices (3.9%), such as smartphones, bio-health (4.5%), and ships (4.3%) also increased.
