[INQ. NO. 1707M30] KOREA M.P.E. has been leading the trends in the global parking system market with “5SP,” a parking system utilizing innovative technology. Despite the Chinese challenges, it has been actively striving to advance into the Chinese market using a strategic approach. The following article, based on a oneon-one interview with the CEO of KOREA M.P.E., Park Hyun-gun, will provide interesting insights for related professionals in this field.

Please introduce our readers to your company and the driving force for its amazing growth

KOREA M.P.E. was started in 1994 with Japanese technology for mechanical parking facilities through technical cooperation. KOREA M.P.E. stands for Motor Parking Engineering. And I have been emphasizing that people using the 5P management concept can only succeed. These concepts are: positive attitude, passion, pride, patience and promise.
Successful people are usually good-natured, faithful to the basics, and helpful with 5P. Our company, KOREA M.P.E. has been growing as a strong enterprise and establishing itself in the domestic market, supported by the loyal interest and support of its clients. Therefore, we promise to meet their expectations with better productquality and service to repay their trust and interest. Also, we plan to make continuous efforts to grow as a trustworthy company by actively participating in social contribution activities, beyond merely seeking profits for the company.

Please tell us more about your major products

As for Asia, we export to Mongolia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Iran, and we design, produce and construct in accordance with ISO 9001 − even in Russia, Mexico and Ethiopia. We strive for the world’s best technology and service.
Currently, we pay our most attention to the potential of China among the Asian markets. Recently, we went to Jinan, Shandong province, on a business trip. The city is experiencing an increase of cars by 400,000 annually, and with population of 10 million, one household used to average 0.8 cars, but now one household has an average of 1.2 cars with the rapid increase of vehicle ownerships.
Even though China has approximately 300 parking-lot facility companies and more than 5,000 steel structure companies, there are very few top-class companies with competence, and with China’s huge size and its potential, it is still considered as a land of opportunity for development.
When setting up a business for a parking lot facility within China, one has to understand the domestic market of China, and there is a need for a strategy that maximizes final profits by creating the maximum number of orders despite small margins in consideration of the huge size of the Chinese market. The most important thing at this point is that the Chinese clients are satisfied and moved by the cutting-edge technology and service of KOREA M.P.E. To meet the rising expectations of Chinese clients, the facilities should be basically safe with low failure rate and be convenient for parking.

What is your management philosophy?

Even though people usually wait for opportunities, it is said that opportunities do not wait for people! Before we wait for opportunities, we have to build up our capabilities to tackle them. Therefore, this is why we need to focus on our work ever more.

Please tell us about your future vision and comments for overseas buyers and clients

All the various activities of the company are based on the philosophy of respect for nature. In other words, this philosophy is an engine that spurs its energy to ceaselessly develop and unveil highly competitive environmental solutions for road paving.

Among Hansoo Road Industry’s current flagship solutions are:

Recover Asphalt
Recover asphalt features innovative ultra-thin , low noise, hot-mix asphalt pavement with the CSM modifier, applied for road repair, without cutting old paving and paving a new layer 1.5~3cm in height.

Effect of fiber Modified binder
– Evenly distributed fiber in mixture-reflection crack resistance
– Increasing adhesive stength between aggergate by fiber bridging effect
– Improvement of low temperature crack resistance

Effect of Recover Asphalt Method
– Waste reduction by no cultting of existing pavement
– Energy effcient and reduction of raw material due to 1.5~3cm thin layer
– Noise reduction by adjusted aggregate
– Fast consyruction and road opening

Fiber is evenly distributed in mixture reflecting crack resistance. The fiber modified binder increases adhesive strength thanks to its fiber bridging effect. The fiber modified binder improves cold cracking resistance.
When the method of recover asphalts is adopted, some merits are created: waste is reduced by no cutting of the existing paving; raw material is reduced due to 2~3cm of thin layer; noise is reduced when construction by adjusting aggregates; and faster road construction and road opening are possible.
The solution of Recover Asphalt can thus be applied for road with cracks due to heavy traffic and vehicle, road with frequent emergency road repairs, parking lots of schools, large buildings and public offices, and near median strip of highway.

Speed Ro
Speed Ro pocket is a cold asphalt patch for emergency repair of various types of potholes and turtle cracks. This product is an ecologically pure certified product, consisting of binder without VOCs.
Speed-Ro no needs volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by strength development through physical compaction. Resource cycling of cold patch is possible by using 100% recycled asphalt aggregate and nonvolatile special agent. Energy efficiency and reduction of CO2 emission is achievable in asphalt plants by producing room temperature.
Speed-Ro (cold patch) uses recycled asphalt aggregate for emergency repairs of asphalt pavement, thus ensuring environmental friendly effects. This product is used for such asphalt pavement damages as potholes, cracks and turtle cracks and height difference.
It ensures higher stability and durabilitywhen compared to other emergency cold patches. It enables easy compaction and early traffic opening by vehicle in field application. Construction is possible regardless of asphalt surface conditions, weather, temperature and seasons. In particular, it can fully help construction on rainy days thanks to the superior water resistance.

EPO-AS
EPO-AS, a high-temperature asphalt mixture using epoxy resin as binder, is an excellent asphalt concrete pavement that has very high strength, resistant to plastic deformation and high-performance for bridges and heavy traffic zones.
EPO-AS manufactured for pavement for new steel plate decks and concrete bridges repairing pavement steel plate decks and concrete bridges, and pavements for heavy traffic roads and checkpoints.

EP-COAT
EP-COAT is an epoxy primer to increase the adhesion and water resistance of new and old asphalt, steel plate decking, and concrete slabs in the repairing of general asphalt and concrete pavement. This solution is made for pavement for new steel plate deck and concrete bridge, repairing pavement steel plate deck and concrete bridge, and pavement for heavy traffic roads and checkpoints.

RMC(Rubber Modified Compound)
RMC, an asphalt modifier material, mainly composed of thermoplastic elastomer, which enhances deformation resistance, low temperature crack resistance, and fatigue resistance, compared to the normal asphalt pavement, by adding in plant mix method in asphalt plant.

S-Phalt
S-Phalt is a high-viscosity modified asphalt. It is added with RMC modifier during manufacturing asphalt mixture. It has high porosity that allows rainwater to drain through the continuously porous asphalt paving.
As the rainwater immediately drains through the porous paving, it also significantly improves skid resistance, noise reduction and enhances the visibility due to the mitigation of reflection.
S-Phalt features excellent slip resistance by reducing hydroplaning on rainy days. It ensures improved resistance to plastic deformation by using high viscosity modifier; prevents secession of aggregate owing to the increased adhesion; and ensures higher visibility of the road when it rains and driving at night. This solution also helps the significant mitigation of noise (3~5Db) when compared to the dense asphalt pavement.
S-Phalt proves high application quality, especially in underpasses and overpasses, general roads, park and walk roads, and riverside roads.

S ll Asphalt
S II Asphalt, a modified asphalt concrete added with RMC modifier by the plant-mix method when producing asphalt mixture, enhancing deformation resistance, low temperature crack resistance, and fatigue resistance in repeat loading, compared to the normal asphalt pavement. This solution is intended to be used for construction of highways and motorways, and general roads frequented by heavy traffic, bridges and overpasses, tunnels and underpasses, and roads with serious rutting and deformation.

Color Road-Con

[INQ. NO. 1705M19] Hwacheon Group is a 65-year-old Korean-leading provider of CNC, general-purpose machine tools, and automation equipment, with a strong commitment to high quality and technological excellence, as well as a corporate vision of “We Produce the World’s Best Products and Services.” The following is an interview with the Hwacheon Group’s CEO Kwon Young-ryual, where he talks about challenge motivation through the company’s growth process and current situation.

Could you please introduce the company and what are the driving forces of the company’s amazing growth?

The Hwacheon Group was founded in May 1952 by the late Mr. Kwon Seunggwan, under the name of Hwacheon Machine Tool Company. He started his job as a foundry apprentice when he was a teenager during the Japanese colonial period, in order to help support his family. He had full confidence in his honesty and outstanding skills he honed during the apprenticeship. He took over the foundry company in August 1945, and established Hwacheon Machine Tool Company based on the existing foundry in May 1952.
The name of Hwacheon was derived from two words, namely “Hwa,” which has the meaning of commodities or money, and “cheon,” which has the meaning of fountain, and together meaning “the fountain of wealth.” To sum up, Hwacheon started out in the machinery tool business, which had not been developed yet in the domestic market, with the vision of reviving the machinery industry and maintaining sustainable development of the industry. Since its establishment, Hwacheon Group has grown into a leading machinery manufacturer in South Korea. The company has achieved several significant milestones, which form an indelible part of the company’s history, such as the first belt-driven lathe that was invented in the late-1950s, followed by the first numerical control machine tool in 1977, which was submitted for International Manufacturing Technology Show in 1978 as a first overseas exhibit of Hwacheon. Hwacheon developed the first CNC milling machine in 1983, and the first machining center in 1987.

Currently, the Hwacheon Group consists of HWACHEON MACHINE TOOL CO., LTD., which produces the CNC machine tool and casting; HWACHEON MACHINERY CO., LTD., which produces the CNC, general-purpose machine tools, and automation components; SEOAM INDUSTRY CP., LTD., that produces chuck and gear; as well as TPS KOREA that specializes in producing automation equipment. The company is a first-class machinery manufacturer which has single-line production infrastructure and modernized production system. Based on technologies acquired through long-term experience, the company has continuously maintained growth in domestic markets, and now exports to industrialized countries, such as USA and Germany. Meanwhile, the products of the company have been acclaimed for their high precision and high rigidity. In addition, the company is engaged in producing and processing the major components of car engines, such as cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and crankshafts by combining machine tool production technology.
I think our major competitive advantage is sincerity. Under the vision of emphasizing our motto, “We Produce the World’s Best Products and Services,” we always pursue “quality first” from customers’ perspectives, and offer products more than just technology. By doing this, a lot of researches, developments, and services are being carried out to deliver a value creation cycle for customers. Thus, we have been constantly engaged in research and development based on sincerity. As a result, we have become the leading machinery manufacturer in South Korea, which has the ability to compete with our global competitors. We have also established a good reputation compared with other companies, and that led us to win the majority of customers’ trust and loyalty. It is encouraging that there are lots of interests in our products despite the recent economic recession.
Hwacheon is not merely selling the equipment, but also providing total-solutions that aim to process and produce convergent products, which improves user’s internal quality- and cost- competitiveness. In particular, HWACHEON MACHINERY CO., LTD. has developed machine tools equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) since five years ago. At first, AI was used only for some products, but now the AI software has been introduced into general machine tools as well. We are presenting the smarter machinery tools in exhibitions every year.

Could you please let us know more about your main products?

SIRIUS-UZ as the highprecision vertical machining center provides the best machining solution in terms of product-quality with its powerful roughing and precise finishing capabilities.
SMART CORE, the world’s first slide/core machine tools, has combined rotary tables developed by Hwacheon and exclusive machining software solutions. it is an easy-to-use 5-axis machine tool which is even easier than operating a 3-axis machine tools, and made by our principles of providing best quality. In spite of its high value, incline and slide core have been considered as a problem in the manufacturing process, because of its complicated process and risk of collision during the process, as well as difficulties of machining with the generally used 3-axis machining tool.
However, SMART CORE is a slide/incline core machining center that can perform all machining processes with one-time workpiece setting, by providing a solution based on automatic CAM, interference detection simulation, tool and machining data.
M4-5AX, which was developed by Hwacheon’s technological and machining expertise, is a high-precision 5-axis machining center perfect for improving productivity. It implements the entire machining for complex products that require various processes with one-time workpiece settings. its various spindle series can be applied to different workpieces from aluminum to other difficult-to-cut materials. Enhanced productivity is assured by enlarged loading capability, table which is easy to access and automatic open/close system for top cover. The machine control software developed by Hwacheon, diagnoses variables in different working conditions and machining environments in real time and makes optimal adjustments to provide high quality and productivity. Also, the software was designed to be user-friendly and easy to operate.

Please share with us your company’s future vision, and tell us something about your overseas buyers and customers

In order to reborn as a global brand, Hwacheon Group is enhancing its quality and design and concentrating on local marketing and PR through various channels.
Currently, we have established corporations in five countries, including USA, Germany, Singapore, India, and Vietnam. We also have set up marketing networks throughout Asia, Europe and the America. Based on this, we will strengthen trust by reducing the time needed for overseas customers to find component suppliers and wait for the delivery.

What about emerging markets and your main export markets?

Currently, UNISON eTech’s exports are limited to the USA and Japan. In future, however, we will expand our sales to Southeast Asia and Europe.
Especially, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the demand for natural gas is expected to grow more than 50% by 2035. Therefore, the infrastructure market for natural gas is expected to grow rapidly in North America and Africa. I believe this will present us with an opportunity to break through, instead of relying on the sluggish domestic construction and plant industry

What is your management philosophy as CEO?

I have only two things that I would like to mention. First, I would like to create an environment where employees can enjoy themselves working. For that purpose, we make efforts to support our employees internally and recruit people of talent externally, with realization of the fact, humans come first.

What is your vision for the future and do you have any message for overseas buyers and clients?

In the future, we will try to diversify our business structure through development and sourcing of items related to our products. I am sorry to say the fact that the superiority of our products and services has not been very well recognized in overseas markets, compared with our success in Korea.
Our objective is to reach two-digit growth rate, higher than 10%, through aggressive sales in major overseas markets, based on our experience in dealing with large companies.
