Hyosung Heavy Industries has expanded its export production capabilities by opening a new factory in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, on Friday. This move doubles the company's production capacity for extra-high-voltage circuit breakers rated at 420 kilovolts (kV) and above, anticipating a surge in global demand for power infrastructure.
The 18,996-square-meter facility is dedicated exclusively to manufacturing these high-voltage circuit breakers for export markets, including models rated at 550 kV and 800 kV. By focusing on export products in this new factory, Hyosung Heavy Industries is able to enhance its ability to handle large overseas orders. The company has reorganized its existing circuit breaker operations to prioritize domestic production, while the new facility manages all export products rated at 420 kV and above.
This streamlined production system, which integrates component manufacturing, assembly, testing, and shipping, aims to improve efficiency and delivery times. Additionally, the factory has doubled its production capacity for insulation components, a vital part of circuit breaker performance. According to Hyosung Heavy Industries, this factory is currently the only domestic power equipment manufacturer with such extensive export capabilities.
