The story of HORYONG is a narrative of relentless challenge and the pursuit of a cleaner, safer construction site. It is a journey that began in 1990 in Gimje, South Korea, with the establishment of Horyong Co., Ltd. What started as a domestic manufacturer has evolved into a global "Hidden Champion," driven by a philosophy that technology is not just about building machines, but about building a sustainable future.

At the very heart of their identity is a pioneering spirit in EcoFriendly Construction Equipment. While the industry relied heavily on diesel, HORYONG saw a different path. They committed themselves to the electrification of heavy machinery. This vision became reality with the launch of their Electric Crane in 2013, followed by the gamechanging launch of their Electric Excavator in 2020. This wasn't just a product release; it was a statement. Their electric excavators, including the iX series, have since been selected as "Innovative Products" by the government and awarded the Good Design Award, proving that heavy equipment can be both powerful and green.

This is a story of technological sovereignty. HORYONG didn't just assemble parts; they mastered the core technologies. From early technical partnerships with German and Italian firms in the 1990s to the establishment of their own corporate research institute in 1997, they have always prioritized R&D. This dedication led to the development of domestically produced hydraulic brakes and their eventual recognition as a "Root Technology Specialist Company" in 2024. Their massive investment in a specialized electric excavator mass production plant in the Gimje Horizon Industrial Complex (completed in 2021) underscores their commitment to leading the market, not just participating in it.

This is a story of explosive global growth. HORYONG’s excellence has crossed borders, showcased at the world's premier exhibitions like BAUMA in Germany, CONEXPO in the USA, and Intermat in Paris. The world has responded with demand. The company’s trajectory is defined by its meteoric rise in exports: from a $1 Million Export Tower Award in 2012 to a massive $100 Million Export Tower Award in 2023. This tenyear span turned a local Korean manufacturer into a "World Class Company" recognized by the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy.

Today, the story of HORYONG is one of a green revolution in heavy industry. It is a promise that whether you are using a highaltitude ladder truck or a batterypowered excavator, you are operating a machine born from a history of challenges overcome, designed to build the world without breaking the environment.
