Sampyo P&C, an affiliate of Sampyo Group, announced on October 30 that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on technical and production cooperation with SB Construction, an affiliate of SB Group.

The agreement aims to strengthen business competitiveness in the civil infrastructure sector and expand business opportunities, including joint project bids, by combining Sampyo P&C’s precast concrete production capabilities with SB Construction’s patented technology. Precast concrete refers to concrete structural components such as columns, beams, walls and slabs that are manufactured in advance at a factory and then assembled on-site to complete a building or civil engineering structure.

The companies will pursue technical cooperation and commercialization, focusing on SB Construction’s key patented technology for tunnel ventilation slabs. A ventilation slab is a structure associated with ventilation and smoke-control systems inside tunnels. It helps manage airflow in tunnels and remove smoke in emergencies such as fires.

The two companies plan to cooperate throughout the business process, from technical proposals and participation in turnkey projects to incorporating their technology during the basic and detailed design stages. They will pursue joint sales and bidding activities targeting project owners and construction companies, and link production and supply for each project to establish a stable supply system.

This cooperation will enable Sampyo P&C to extend its existing PC manufacturing capabilities into the civil engineering sector. The two companies plan to continue identifying new business opportunities by leveraging synergies between their technological competitiveness and production capabilities.

A Sampyo P&C official said, "This agreement is significant because it will expand business opportunities in the civil engineering sector by combining our PC manufacturing and production capabilities with patented technology. We will establish a closely coordinated system of cooperation from the design stage through production and supply, and strengthen our competitiveness in the civil engineering PC market through joint bids."
