- DAEDONG GEAR Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based precision power transmission and powertrain component manufacturing company. Founded in May 1973 and headquartered in Sacheon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea, the company operates as an affiliate of Daedong Corporation (Daedong Group). The company operates across three primary business segments: Agricultural Machinery Components, Automotive Parts, and Industrial Machinery and Mobility Solutions. Its core product portfolio comprises agricultural machinery transmissions, transmission casings, spiral bevel gears, spur gears, helical gears, front and rear axle assemblies, and power take-off (PTO) units for tractors, combine harvesters, rice transplanters, and cultivators; automotive power transmission components, including manual and automatic transmission gears, differential gear units, driveshafts, ring gears, pinion shafts, and planetary gear systems for passenger cars and commercial vehicles; electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrain components, including output shaft sub-assemblies, high-precision reducer gear modules, and integrated drive unit components; and industrial power transmission components, including speed reducers, hydraulic motor gears, planetary gearboxes, and heavy-duty drivetrain components for excavators, skid-steer loaders, and compact track loaders, alongside precision actuators and cycloidal reducers for robotics applications. DAEDONG GEAR also provides integrated manufacturing services, encompassing precision forging, CNC gear cutting, specialized heat treatment and carburizing, precision grinding, and complete modular assembly. The company serves original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and tier-one automotive suppliers across South Korea, North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. In recent strategic and operational developments, DAEDONG GEAR has accelerated its business transformation toward electrified mobility and advanced robotics components. The company secured major multi-year supply contracts with leading automotive manufacturers, including an agreement valued at approximately KRW 183.6 billion to supply output shaft sub-assemblies for Hyundai Motor Company's next-generation dedicated electric vehicle platforms through 2036, as well as multiple long-term supply agreements totaling over KRW 280 billion with Hyundai Transys to deliver core gear modules and EV reducer assemblies for battery electric vehicles (EVs) and extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs). In addition, DAEDONG GEAR expanded its industrial equipment footprint through component supply agreements for compact construction equipment with Hyundai Construction Equipment and Hyundai Genuine, while expanding production capacity, installing automated high-precision gear-grinding lines, and accelerating R&D initiatives for precision robotic reducers and smart actuator systems.
