Dongbu Group continues to distinguish itself as a world class conglomerate in seven main business areas - steel & metal, agriculture & biotech, electronics & semiconductors, construction & energy, logistics/trade & information technology (IT), insurance & finance, culture & corporate social responsibility (CSR).

When Dongbu Group began operations as Miryoong Construction Co., Ltd. (present day Dongbu Corporation) on January 24, 1969, Founder and Chairman Jun-Ki Kim envisioned creating an "Excellent Company" that would contribute to Korea's economic growth and one day be recognized as a preferred provider of top quality products and services. Over the past four decades, Dongbu Group has steadily grown, often times rapidly, to emerge as one of Korea's largest and most respected global conglomerates.
