- AJUSteel Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based manufacturer specializing in premium color-coated steel sheets, surface-treated metal products, and customized steel components for home appliances, construction materials, and renewable energy infrastructure. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Gumi, South Korea, the company operates within the steel and metal fabrication industry, providing high-value-added coated steel solutions to global appliance brands, architectural contractors, and industrial clients.
The company's core product and service portfolio encompasses: pre-coated metals (PCM) and vinyl-coated metals (VCM) engineered for home appliances; high-gloss, embossed, and laminated steel sheets used in refrigerator doors, washing machines, air conditioners, microwave ovens, and display back covers; digital inkjet-printed color steel sheets under the proprietary A-TEX brand for interior wall claddings, elevator interiors, and exterior building facades; fire-retardant architectural insulated panels, curtain wall components, and modular housing structural frames; high-durability, corrosion-resistant steel mounting structures and framing systems for solar photovoltaic installations; precision coil slitting, shearing, and roll-forming services; and functional surface-finishing treatments including antibacterial, anti-fingerprint, high-scratch-resistance, and anti-static coatings.
AJUSteel operates domestic manufacturing and processing facilities in Gumi and Gimcheon, South Korea, and maintains an international operating network with production and sales subsidiaries across Poland, Mexico, China, and Vietnam to supply major regional electronics and manufacturing hubs across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
In recent strategic developments, AJUSteel entered into a major investment and controlling stake transaction with Dongkuk CM, which agreed to acquire a majority interest in the company to combine color steel manufacturing capabilities and enhance global supply chain scale. In addition, the company has completed and ramped up operations at its manufacturing facility in Poland to directly support European appliance manufacturing clusters, expanded automated smart factory lines at its Gimcheon production site to scale high-precision digital inkjet printing capacity, and accelerated business diversification into solar mounting systems and modular construction steel products.
