Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, Korea's largest shipping company, is stepping up efforts to diversify its business and take multiple measures to enhance its competitive advantage to overcome the "order shortage" faced by the shipbuilding industry affected by the new coronavirus epidemic.
Hyundai Construction Equipment, a subsidiary of Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, which has grown to become Korea's second-largest construction equipment manufacturer, also plans to acquire Doosan Infracore, Korea's largest construction equipment maker, and submitted a preliminary offer last month, Yonhap News Agency reported.
LeeDong-heon, an analyst at Daeshin Securities, said that if Hyundai Heavy Industries can take over Doosan Construction Machinery, then its subsidiary Hyundai Construction Equipment will benefit from Doosan Construction Machinery's technology and sales network.
At the same time, Hyundai Heavy Industries Group is also working with KT, a major telecommunications operator in Korea, to develop business in the robotics industry. In June of this year, Hyundai Robotics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, signed a cooperation agreement with KT on the robotics business.
In this agreement, Hyundai Robotics will be responsible for developing the robot's body, while KT will use its 5G network, AI and big data solutions to focus on developing software. Modern robots will expand its reach from industry to areas such as hotels, cafes and home services.
Hyundai Oilbank, a refining company owned by Hyundai Heavy Industries, has previously signed a partnership agreement with Korea's domestic EV charging station manufacturer Charzin to increase the number of gas stations it operates from the current 20 to 200 by 2023.
Korea Shipbuilding & Marine, Hyundai Heavy Industries' secondary holding company responsible for shipbuilding, is seeking to sell its industrial boiler manufacturing subsidiary, Hyundai Heavy IndustriesPowerSystem, as part of measures to restructure its business portfolio.
Hyundai Heavy Industries Group merged with Daewoo Shipbuilding and spun off two secondary holding companies from Korea Shipbuilding. According to the plan, after Hyundai Heavy Industries Group completes the acquisition of Daewoo Shipbuilding, Korea Shipbuilding will mainly operate four shipyards: Hyundai Heavy Industries, Daewoo Shipbuilding, Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries and Hyundai Mipo Shipbuilding.
Since March 2019, Hyundai Heavy Industries Group has been promoting the acquisition of Daewoo Shipbuilding. But so far, Hyundai Heavy Industries' review of the merger with Daewoo Shipbuilding has only been approved by Kazakhstan and Singapore, and antitrust authorities in China, the European Union, Japan, Korea and other countries are also under review. Hyundai Heavy Industries Group's plan to acquire Daewoo Shipbuilding was practically a failure, as long as one country opposed it.

The "peripheral" parameters of Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries robot - arc welding robot
Welding velocity refers to the linear velocity of the arc moving along the welded joint. All other things being equal, a medium welding speed is the maximum penetration depth. As the welding speed decreases, the amount of deposited metal per unit length of weld increases. At very slow welding speeds, the welding arc impinges on the weld pool, not the base metal. ...
