On May 25, 1947, a sign reading "Hyundai Togun" went up outside a small office in Jung-gu, Seoul. In the 28,855 days since, Hyundai E&C has cut roads through deserts once thought impossible, built world-class bridges across rough seas, and reshaped city skylines time and again. Now, on its 79th anniversary, we trace that journey through data.

Global

Hyundai E&C, Trusted Worldwide

Since opening the door to overseas expansion with the Pattani–Narathiwat Highway in Thailand in 1965, Hyundai E&C has extended its reach across the globe, notably with the construction of the Jubail Industrial Port in the 1970s - a project hailed as the "Miracle of the Middle East." The trust earned across 902 projects in 62 countries has translated into a record $150 billion in cumulative overseas orders, a first for a South Korean construction company. Building on the technical expertise it demonstrated in the Middle East and Asia, Hyundai E&C is now accelerating into the future energy market, expanding its next-generation nuclear and renewable energy businesses across North America and Europe.

R&D

Intellectual Property Shaping the Future

Hyundai E&C’s competitive edge lies not simply in “construction technology,” but in “technology that sets the standard.” The technical expertise has accumulated by solving challenges on real-world construction sites, along with the intellectual property developed by systematizing that expertise serves as the core driving force behind Hyundai E&C’s future. Hundreds of patents and dozens of new technology certifications demonstrate that this expertise has been proven in actual construction environments. Hyundai E&C’s technology is setting new standards across every aspect of design, construction, safety, and quality. Its No. 1 ranking in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s Technical Capability Evaluation for four consecutive years stands as a testament to this competitiveness.

ENERGY

A Great Force Lighting the World, Power That Never Stops

Hyundai E&C has played a pivotal role in the history of South Korea’s power industry, laying the foundation for everyday life. Its track record of constructing 24 Korean-type large nuclear power units, with a total capacity of 26,416 MW*, both in Korea and overseas, demonstrates Hyundai E&C’s overwhelming technical capabilities. This capacity is approximately three times** the amount of electricity consumed by all households in Korea in a single month. In other words, a significant share of the electricity lighting our surroundings at this very moment was made possible by Hyundai E&C. Together with its experience in building mega-scale energy infrastructure, including refining, petrochemical, and gas plants, Hyundai E&C has established unrivaled competitiveness in the global EPC market. This strength is now expanding into future energy businesses such as offshore wind, solar power, and hydrogen fuel cells. Hyundai E&C’s renewable energy generation track record, totaling approximately 982 MW**, demonstrates that the company continues to maintain its competitiveness in the era of energy transition. This capacity is equivalent to the electricity consumed by approximately 3 million*** households in Korea for one month, underscoring that Hyundai E&C is not only ensuring a stable power supply, but also actively preparing for the future energy transition.

*Nuclear power total capacity = construction capacity based on projects that have begun construction (Korea Atomic Industrial Forum)

**Total new and renewable energy capacity = all generation sources, including installed electrical capacity, based on projects that have begun construction

**Calculation: A simple conversion based on maximum power generation, using the average household electricity consumption of 240 kWh and approximately 25 million households in Korea, according to Korea Electric Power Statistics (2025)
