Within seven years of its founding, the company grew from 2 employees to 20, and from annual sales of 40 million KRW to 5 billion KRW. It is expected to continue increasing its revenue and creating jobs.
SH Technology Co., Ltd, an auto parts manufacturing company in Hwaseong, succeeded in localizing auto parts that were previously reliant on imports through its ultra-precision press technology. The company was selected as a Promising SME of Gyeonggi Province in 2012 with the support of the Gyeonggi SME Center and received assistance in participating in domestic and international automotive exhibitions. Since its establishment in 2000, the company has achieved steady annual sales growth of 10–20% and has made significant contributions to job creation.
ReCube Co., Ltd., a food dehydrator manufacturer in Hwaseong, was recognized for its contributions to regional economic revitalization through job creation, hiring 52 new employees over the past two years. The company has also focused on improving employee welfare and development, such as organizing overseas workshops for all staff. Additionally, it has taken the lead in social contributions by signing agreements to support orphaned children and children in need.
Cheongbo Agricultural Corporation Co., Ltd., based in Gwangju, specializes in producing, processing, and distributing eco-friendly agricultural products. As a social enterprise, it fulfills its role as a "good company" by creating jobs and supporting vulnerable groups. The company has been recognized for its stable operation as a social enterprise and for serving as a model for other businesses, thanks to its participation in various programs, such as education, consulting, mentoring, and expos, organized by the Gyeonggi Social Economy Integrated Support Center.
Meanwhile, the Gyeonggi SME Center plans to continue hosting the "Proud Entrepreneur Award" ceremony to discover and promote the success stories of outstanding SMEs in the province.
