Early this year, Mr. Jang Hyeong, Park took a leadership role at Horyong stating “Till last year, I took care of overall management for the company. Less than two months ago, I was entitled with a new position as President. I am still learning and already took some Advanced Management courses for this new role. But it is and will be never easy. I constantly ask myself the same question; Horyong’s future vision and path.”
Horyong, founded in 1990, has single-handedly written the history of special purpose equipment in Korea; they are Aerial-lift trucks, Ladder-lift truck, Trailers, Gangways, etc. The company is well known for its unique technology (structural mechanics), stability & durability, and designs.
Horyong leads up to 50% in the market
People use ELECAR as the pronoun for Ladder-lift trucks in Korea. Horyong prepared for years to introduce one lightweight and highly functional ladder-truck. It came to fruition a couple of years ago; “SKY ELECAR” rebooted construction scenes nation-wide. With its compact structural design, “ELECAR” employs high quality special aluminum for aero use which reduces weight and increases durability. It also helps operators with both an electric remote control and central control system.
Two well-positioned trucks in the market are Ladder-lift trucks with the maximum height of 70m and 75m; both are the highest in Korea, and the 75m Ladder-lift truck is the highest in the world. Other products are Dock Gangways, Fire Fighting Ladders, Special Trailers, etc.
What makes Horyong complete The answer lies in technology, structural design and hydraulic technology. All these components made ELECAR and SKY ELECAR what they are now. Plus quality materials for strength and differentiated manufacturing process cannot be overlooked.
Mr. Park adds “Investing in R&D might sound financially burdening in the short term. However, in the long run, it will all pay high dividends in terms of added value and a promising future in the industry.”
