- Halla Corporation is a South Korea-based construction company specializing in diverse construction projects, including civil engineering, architectural works, housing, plant construction, environmental projects, and infrastructure development such as roads, bridges, tunnels, ports, airports, railways, and high-tech buildings. Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Seoul, the company operates domestically and internationally, with branch offices in the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and other regions, leveraging a broad geographic presence. Halla offers a comprehensive range of construction services including general construction contracting, special civil works, infrastructure development, and environmental facility construction.
The company underwent a rebranding from Halla Engineering & Construction Corporation to Halla Corporation in 2013 to reflect its global identity and diversified business scope. Recently, Halla divested its stake in Halla Encom, one of Korea’s largest ready-mix concrete manufacturers, to E&F Private Equity in 2024, enabling a strategic focus on its core construction activities. Additionally, Halla is part of the HL Group and has expanded its operations by establishing specialized entities such as HL Trading & Logistics Mexico and Halla Automotive in 2024-2025. Halla continues to strengthen its international footprint and maintain certifications to international quality and safety standards, underpinning its role in major large-scale infrastructure projects.
Halla targets government, industrial, and commercial clients across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America, emphasizing large infrastructure and technological construction projects. The company employs modern construction technologies and sustainable practices, positioning itself as a prominent player in both domestic and international construction markets with annual revenues exceeding $1 billion and a workforce of over a thousand employees worldwide. Recent major structural adjustments include selling off non-core businesses and focusing on innovation and global expansion to maintain competitive leadership in civil, architectural, and environmental construction sectors.
