In addition to primary manufacturing, YulChon provides value-added precision processing services such as customized cold drawing, non-destructive testing, induction heat treatment, swaging, straightening, chamfering, and high-precision cutting. The company serves multinational tier-1 automotive suppliers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), hydraulic system integrators, and industrial machinery builders across Asia, North America, and Europe. It operates domestic manufacturing facilities in South Korea and oversees international operating subsidiaries, including Yulchon Mexico S.A. de C.V. in Mexico and Yulchon Poland Sp. z o.o. in Poland.
