Korea Oil Corporation Acquires Track Solution to Expand Synergy in ACT Business
Korea Oil Corporation has acquired a 100% stake in Track Solution.
According to Korea Oil Corporation on the 22nd, this acquisition of Track Solution is a strategic decision to further enhance the competitiveness of its existing railway track business by adding the expertise and field experience of a specialized construction company, and to expand potential synergies.
Track Solution is a specialized company with extensive experience and performance in the field of railway track construction. By combining the capabilities of the two companies, Korea Oil Corporation plans to accelerate the commercialization of its ACT (Asphalt Concrete Track) Smart (AI) Precision Paving Technology, which it has been developing. ACT is a railway track system utilizing an asphalt track bed (asphalt paving layer) instead of concrete. For actual on-site implementation, precise paving technology and professional construction capabilities are essential.
Korea Oil Corporation will leverage Track Solution’s construction expertise together with its own asphalt and railway track-related technologies. The company aims to commercialize ACT precision paving technology more broadly through the acquisition of a paving construction business license, investments in precision construction equipment and infrastructure, and pilot construction projects. Through these efforts, Korea Oil Corporation seeks to further enhance its business framework for performing railway track projects, encompassing both technology/products and construction capabilities.
Based on the ACT precision paving technology and field construction capabilities, the company also plans to expand its business scope beyond railway tracks to include general road paving and high value-added specialized precision paving. By advancing its design and construction expertise in the field of precision paving, the company intends to further boost synergy with existing businesses and continuously seek out new business opportunities.
In the medium to long term, the company plans to strengthen the value chain of its railway infrastructure business by organically linking related businesses with its core railway track operations, including ▲new ACT track and other newly constructed tracks ▲asphalt crossings ▲joint sleepers and GFRP and other track-related components ▲general road and precision paving ▲railway facility maintenance and safety diagnostics.
