On October 16, the CEO of POSCO Steeleon and an executive of POSCO International visited SeoRim Steel's Suncheon Plant.

The delegation toured the production floor, including the hot-dip galvanizing line (CGL) and color coating line (CCL), and reviewed SeoRim Steel's production and quality control.

They then planted a commemorative tree in the plant garden and agreed to further strengthen the partnership.

Building on this visit, SeoRim Steel will expand cooperation with leading steel companies and continue partnerships founded on quality and trust.

In October 2024, SeoRim Steel acquired the Suncheon plant equipped with a hot-dip galvanizing line (CGL) and a color coating line (CCL).

With this acquisition, we expanded from coil processing into direct steel sheet production. With annual capacity of 150,000 tons (CGL) and 100,000 tons (CCL), we now supply galvanized and pre-painted steel.

Expected benefits of the acquisition

1. Integrated production from material to processingFrom coating and painting to slitting and cutting, everything is handled in-house, so we can deliver products in the exact specifications customers need in one step.
2. Stronger quality controlBy managing production from the base coil, we keep coating quality and surface condition consistent and track product history more systematically.
3. Cost competitiveness and stable supplyProducing coated and pre-painted material ourselves reduces costs and gives us a stable supply base less exposed to market swings.
4. Shorter lead times and faster responseWith direct control of production schedules, we respond quickly to small and urgent orders and tailor specifications to customer needs more easily.
5. Business expansionWe are expanding into new markets such as building exteriors and appliance materials, laying the groundwork for sustainable growth.

Building on this acquisition, SeoRim Steel will strengthen its quality and technological competitiveness and grow into a steel company that earns even greater customer trust.
