with our technologies that meet global standards.
Following the establishment of Korea’s first private technology research institute in 1971, Hyosung
gave birth to five of the world’s top-ranking products and countless first-class items and brands,
positioning itself as an enterprise that creates the life culture of humanity
in all areas, including
textile, industrial materials, chemicals, heavy industry, and information and communication.
With distinguished technical capabilities, experience in and passion for research and development,
Hyosung will remain dedicated as the pioneer of technological advancement for
a better future for humanity.
“The birthplace of advanced technology that leads
the global market”

Established as Korea’s first private technology research institute in 1971, Hyosung R&DB Labs, based on Hyosung's technical capabilities on synthetic fiber research that had been the driving force of Korea’s economic growth in the 1970s, expanded its research areas to raw chemical materials, chemical products, and new materials.
In September 2006, for a greater leap in the industry, the lab integrated its central research institute and production technology research institute, which is now known as Hyosung R&DB Labs. In 2011, the lab was reorganized into five research groups, focusing on the creation of Hyosung Group’s new business areas based on the top 10 core technologies.
As well as securing research technologies for promising new businesses in the future that will serve as stepping stones for the company’s future growth, Hyosung R&DB Labs develops new products and processes in existing business areas and endeavors to quickly commercialize them.
