Hanwha launches new holding firm under Kim Dong-seon

Hanwha Group established Hanwha Machinery & Services Holdings, consolidating 57 technology and lifestyle affiliates under a single holding company. The new entity, led by Kim Dong-seon, the group chairman's youngest son, is set to debut on the Kospi on August 25. This follows a corporate split from Hanwha Corp., approved by shareholders. The holding company includes subsidiaries like Hanwha Vision and Hanwha Galleria, which are already listed on the Kospi. Kim Dong-seon has been promoted to president, while his older brothers took higher executive positions. Veteran Kim Hyung-jo was named CEO of Hanwha M&S, having previously led Hanwha Hotels & Resorts. The restructuring aims to enhance management specialization and inter-affiliate collaboration, potentially reducing conglomerate discounts and boosting growth in technology and lifestyle sectors.
