History

Daewoo Heavy Industries

A Daewoo Heavy loader

Daewoo Heavy Industries was founded in 1937 as Chosun Machine Works when Korea was under Japanese rule.[3] After Japan's withdrawal from Korea, the company was nationalized by the government and was transformed into a public company in 1963 as Hankook Machine Industrial. In 1969, Hankook Machine was privatized after being sold to Shinjin Group. In 1975, the company began producing diesel engines with financial support from the German government and technical collaboration with MAN SE.

However, the company was financially strapped due to the lack of domestic demand and unstable direction, and Shinjin had to sell the company back to a government-controlled bank. Then, in 1976, Daewoo Industrial and its affiliates purchased a 44.8% stake in the total share and changed the name to Daewoo Heavy Industries.[4][5]

Doosan Infracore

During the

Doosan Heavy Industries as a prime bidder for Daewoo Heavy and officially signed a contract. After the acquisition, Daewoo Heavy was renamed Doosan Infracore.[8][9]

Doosan Infracore expanded the heavy equipment business by acquiring global players. In March 2007, the company acquired Yantai Yuhua Machinery, a

wheel loader maker, for 22 million yuan.[10] Doosan recorded South Korea's largest international acquisition by purchasing Bobcat and other construction equipment units from Ingersoll Rand for $4.9 billion in November 2007.[11][12] Doosan's European subsidiary took over Norwegian dump trucks firm Moxy Engineering for €55 million in 2008.[13]

Hyundai Doosan Infracore

Alike Daewoo in 1997,

Hyundai Heavy Industries Group purchased a 35 percent stake in Doosan Infracore for 850 billion won.[14][15] However, Doosan Infracore's 51 percent stake in Doosan Bobcat was not included as part of the sale.[16]
