Catalog Hyundai 2024

For most people, the Hyundai brand is known mainly due to the cars produced under it. But in fact, the range of products is much wider. On the market you can find Hyundai tools, generators, gardening solutions, climate control equipment and much more. The fact is that initially this trademark was owned by the Hyundai Group conglomerate, which was engaged in the production of a wide variety of products, from cars to various trifles.

The history of Hyundai dates back to 1947. And it all started with a car repair shop, which was founded by Chung Joo-yeon — a native of a peasant family, who had previously dealt with literally everything in a row, was a courier, loader and auto mechanic. As a result, what started as a small and rather dubious enterprise eventually turned into a huge conglomerate, which for some time was even considered the largest in all of South Korea.

Hyundai's name is cited as "Modernity" and pronounced "Hyundai", although there are many other pronunciations on the Web. The reason for this discrepancy is the difficulty in translating the sounds of the Korean language using the letters of the Latin alphabet.

Chung Joo-yeon took on literally everything. He managed to achieve support from the state, as well as receive orders from the US military. By the 1960s, Hyundai had become the largest construction company in the country. In 1967, the production of cars began, and in 1973 — ships. By the beginning of the 90s, the number of Hyundai subsidiaries numbered in the tens, hundreds of thousands of employees worked for them.

Everything went fine until the 90s, when a severe crisis began in Asian countries. The Hyundai Group was followed by a restructuring of the staff, and then the company itself. It was decided to divide the conglomerate into several parts, each of which is engaged in its own direction. This is how the company Hyundai Motor was born, dealing with cars, producing heavy equipment and ships Hyundai Heavy Industries, etc. The Hyundai Group itself has now focused on tourism and shipping. In other words, the former empire broke up into separate independent pieces. However, each of these pieces in itself is a whole empire. Thus, Hyundai Heavy Industries is the largest shipbuilding company in the world. And Hyundai Motor is one of the leading automakers.
