Daegu-Gyeongbuk FEZ Authority Commissioner Jeong Haeyong: "We Will Deliver Tangible Results for Corporate Investment" ... First Company Visit Since Taking Office

Jeong Haeyong, commissioner of the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Free Economic Zone Authority, visited the Sinseo Advanced Medical District and Yeongcheon Hi-Tech Park District in succession on Oct. 8, the day after taking office. He reviewed key issues, development and occupancy status in each district and listened directly to concerns raised by companies on site.

The Sinseo Advanced Medical District is a hub for the medical industry, supporting research and development and commercialization in advanced medical fields, including new drugs, medical devices and healthcare.

Daegu-Gyeongbuk Free Economic Zone Authority Commissioner Jeong Haeyong is visiting companies to hear their concerns in his first move since taking office.

Commissioner Jeong visited Lepio Co., Ltd., a tenant company in the district, and met with its executives and employees, including CEO Hong Chang-sik, to hear about the company’s business situation and concerns. They also discussed support measures to help tenant companies manage and grow their businesses steadily.

Lepio Co., Ltd. specializes in dental laboratory materials and moved its headquarters to the Sinseo Advanced Medical District in 2014.

In the afternoon, he traveled to the Yeongcheon Hi-Tech Park District, which is working to attract companies focused on the intelligent and next-generation automotive parts industries. The district is located in Noksjeon-dong and Hwasan-myeon, Yeongcheon. Commissioner Jeong toured the production site of Hwashin Co., Ltd., an automotive parts specialist, and discussed future development directions for the automotive parts industry with CEO Jeong Seojin, while also looking into challenges facing businesses on site.

Hwashin Co., Ltd. is a global automotive parts company. Through reshoring investment, it has reduced production at its plant in China while establishing a new factory in the Yeongcheon Hi-Tech Park District, where it produces lightweight chassis components and battery pack cases for electric vehicles.

Commissioner Jeong said, "I visited the sites to hear directly from companies and people on the ground and to identify the direction the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Free Economic Zone Authority should take. We will deliver tangible results so that the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Free Economic Zone can establish itself as an innovation hub that supports corporate investment and growth."
