- Dongkuk Industries Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based manufacturing company primarily engaged in the production and distribution of cold-rolled special steel strips, secondary battery materials, and renewable energy equipment. Founded in 1967 and headquartered in Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea, the company operates across key industrial sectors and serves target markets spanning the automotive, industrial machinery, energy, and electronics industries across South Korea, Asia, North America, and Europe.
The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of precision-engineered products categorized across its core operational segments: cold-rolled high-carbon steel strips; medium-carbon steel sheets; alloy steel strips; spheroidized annealed steel; and hardened and tempered steel strips utilized extensively in critical automotive components such as seat belt retractors, clutch plates, automatic transmission parts, brake clips, and door locks, as well as industrial cutting tools, saw blades, and electronic hardware. In addition, through its consolidated subsidiaries, including Dongkuk S&C Co., Ltd., the company designs and manufactures heavy wind turbine towers, offshore wind substructures, and industrial plant equipment, while participating in renewable energy development projects.
In recent strategic developments, Dongkuk Industries has executed a major business transformation to enter the electric vehicle and clean technology supply chains. The company invested over 130 billion KRW to construct an advanced manufacturing facility at its Pohang complex dedicated to the production of high-precision nickel-plated steel sheets, with an annual capacity of approximately 130,000 metric tons. These specialized surface-treated steel materials are engineered specifically for cylindrical lithium-ion secondary battery casings, including 2170 and next-generation 4680 form factors. As part of this expansion, Dongkuk Industries has engaged in strategic qualification and supply partnerships with global battery cell manufacturers, established commercial production lines for EV battery casing materials, and streamlined operational efficiencies across its specialty steel divisions.
