- DHAUTOWARE Co., LTD. is a South Korea-based automotive electronics company that specializes in the research, development, and manufacturing of in-vehicle infotainment systems, connected car communication control units, and advanced driver assistance electronic components. Founded in 1979 and headquartered in Pyeongtaek, South Korea, the company operates as a specialized automotive supplier within the DH Global group and is publicly listed on the KOSDAQ exchange under the ticker 025440. DHAUTOWARE designs and manufactures an extensive portfolio of vehicle electronics categorized into in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems, including Audio-Video-Navigation (AVN) terminals, display audio units, smart multimedia monitors, and integrated dashboard interfaces; high-performance acoustic and audio electronics, including digital multi-channel power amplifiers, premium automotive sound processors, and vehicle audio systems; connected vehicle and telematics hardware, including Central Communication Units (CCU), Body Domain Controllers (BDC), and Domain Control Units (DCU) supporting over-the-air update capabilities; advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and safety electronics, including Around View Monitoring (AVM) vision solutions, Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS), front-view camera modules, and blind-spot detection sensors; and automotive electronic control assemblies, including core motherboard systems, electronic control units (ECU), surface-mount technology production, and automotive manufacturing engineering services. The company supplies its products to major original equipment manufacturers and Tier-1 automotive leaders, including Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Corporation, Hyundai Mobis, and Renault Korea, with operational reach across South Korea, North America, and China. In recent major corporate developments, the company underwent a formal corporate rebranding from Daesung Eltec Co., Ltd. to DHAUTOWARE Co., LTD. following its acquisition by DH Global to pivot toward smart mobility, software-defined vehicle architectures, and autonomous driving electronics. To support major North American supply contracts for connected car modules with Hyundai Motor Group and global automotive partners, DHAUTOWARE established its subsidiary DH Autoware North America and committed an estimated USD 167 million investment to construct a high-tech automotive electronics and motherboard manufacturing facility in Nuevo León, Mexico. Furthermore, the company expanded its official business scope to incorporate specialized manufacturing engineering services, restructured its equity base to improve corporate valuation, and accelerated the deployment of high-speed communication controllers and advanced sensor processing modules for next-generation electric and autonomous vehicles.
