On the 25th, the Samsung Electro-Mechanics Busan Plant was selected as an outstanding company in the '2025 Large and Small Enterprises Safety and Health Mutual Cooperation Project' organized by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, receiving the Minister of Employment and Labor Award. The award ceremony, held at the War Memorial of Korea in Yongsan, Seoul, was attended by over 250 key officials, including Minister of Employment and Labor Kim Young-hoon and Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency President Kim Hyun-joong.
The 'Large and Small Enterprises Safety and Health Mutual Cooperation Project' is an initiative where large companies and SMEs form voluntary partnerships to support the establishment and spread of safety and health management systems. Out of 233 participating companies, 32—including Samsung Electro-Mechanics—were selected as outstanding companies. Samsung Electro-Mechanics has been participating in this project since 2023. Notably, it has provided tailored support by dispatching in-house experts in specialized fields such as risk assessment, electricity, fire safety, and occupational safety and health to a total of 20 internal and external partner companies and local SMEs.
Key activities included: △advisory services for risk assessments and workplace environment improvements through professional consulting agencies, △hosting safety and health seminars centered on the latest issues such as the Serious Accidents Punishment Act and Stop Work Authority, and △supplying 26 essential on-site safety and health items. Through these initiatives, the company was recognized for elevating the practical safety and health management standards of SMEs to the next level.
Jeong Haeseok, Executive Vice President of the Component Manufacturing Technology Center, stated, "The safety of our partner companies and the local community is a core value directly linked to the competitiveness of Samsung Electro-Mechanics." He added, "We will continue to do our utmost to foster an ecosystem of mutual growth where all stakeholders, including our partners, can work with peace of mind."
Beyond these safety and health support initiatives, Samsung Electro-Mechanics operates various mutual cooperation programs to achieve shared growth with its partners. These include: △financial support for Mutual Growth Funds and the establishment of smart factories, △on-site improvement activities for productivity enhancement, quality innovation, and a safe environment, and △customized competency-building training categorized by professional skills and job levels. The company is taking the lead in building an ecosystem of mutual growth founded on active communication.
Meanwhile, the Samsung Electro-Mechanics Busan Plant also plays a pivotal role in the local economy in terms of employment and industry. As the largest employment site in the Busan area with approximately 5,000 current employees, it makes a significant contribution to local job creation. Moving forward, Samsung Electro-Mechanics plans to cultivate the Busan Plant as a core production hub for key components in tandem with the expanding AI and automotive component markets, thereby further strengthening its global technological competitiveness.
