What Hyosung does

Core trading/holding company of Hyosung Group, spanning heavy industries (transformers), spandex/chemicals, and trading.

Since a 2018 split into a holding company and separate operating subsidiaries, the group's main businesses sit in separately listed units, so its own results reflect those units plus its trading activity. Transformers and spandex sit in different subsidiaries and follow different cycles.

Customers

Moat: narrow (scale, brand). Creora is a leading global spandex brand; the transformer unit is qualified with utilities worldwide.
