HYUNDAI Corporation – a global LEADER
The company HYUNDAI was founded in 1947 by the great visionary Mr. Chung Ju-yung. The true rise of the company is associated with its involvement in the shipbuilding industry in the early 1970s. Within a few decades, thanks to the immense dedication and passion of its founders, the local company evolved into a global corporation that now encompasses six divisions: shipbuilding, marine engineering, machinery and engines, electronic and electrical systems, construction equipment (including forklifts).
The success of HYUNDAI Corporation is largely the success of its founder. Thanks to his immense belief in the ability to create “something from nothing,” supported by values such as:
- creative wisdom, positive thinking, and unwavering energy,
- he managed to build a global success from a local company.
These values are carried over to all collaborations with customers, employees, and partners. Building the company on these philosophies, HYUNDAI Corporation aims to remain a global leader, delivering unmatched quality products and services.
The current potential of the corporation is evidenced by the fact that, although there is not a single tram line in South Korea, it is HYUNDAI that will produce and deliver over 200 new trams for the city of Warsaw in 2022-2023! Moreover, in the forklift sector, HYUNDAI is currently a global leader in terms of innovation and growth dynamics in sales.
The undeniable advantages of HYUNDAI forklifts have been recognized by organizers of the Athens Summer Olympics in 2004 and the FIFA World Cups in 2014 and 2018, as well as the UEFA European Championships in 2012 and 2016.
