Despite a challenging global economic environment, the HA Group continues to invest decisively in key foundry markets worldwide. With this latest expansion, the company aims to further consolidate its leading market position while creating long-term value for customers and partners across the globe.
In addition to its existing plant in Siheung, the new facility significantly enhances HA Group’s ability to serve customers in the region.

Equipped with state-of-the-art coating technology, the new facility incorporates numerous advanced safety features. These measures reflect HA Group’s strong commitment to employee protection and its responsibility toward the surrounding community.
