Unitech CEO Seongho Lee Interview “Technology is the biggest factor in success” To become the world's No. 1 company based on pride and trust in technology
Nov 21, 2022, 01:54
Seongho Lee, CEO of a Korean industrial adhesive manufacturer Unitech, is an engineer with more than 30 years of experience in sealant and adhesive development. He graduated from Myongji University's Department of Chemical Engineering in 1979 and established Unitech in 1999 to grow into the world's best company in the adhesive field for the automobile, shipbuilding, and electronics industries. In recognition of this achievement, he was awarded the Order of Industrial Service Merit from the Korean government in 2012.
General ships adopt welding or bolt-nut fixing methods, but LNG ships are finished with special adhesives because the liquefied gas tank is in a cryogenic environment of -170 degrees Celsius and contracts and expands according to temperature changes. About 200 to 250 tons of adhesive is used to make one LNG ship, but it was a monopoly market until Unitech developed an adhesive for LNG ships.
CEO Lee Seong-ho said, “We developed two types of adhesives after hundreds of experiments over four years with the determination to localize special adhesives for ships by turning our attention from automobiles to ships. It took 5 years to get the quality approval from France, which is demanding. It is like picking stars in the sky.” He selected the factor by which Unitech, a Korean company, was able to be the world's No. 1 in the field of industrial adhesives is technological prowess.
CEO Lee said, “When I saw Unitech from the perspective of a large company, I thought that it should be technologically reliable, so I intensively worried about what technology should be developed, starting with the analysis of the company.” Unitech's LNG ship adhesive, which improved delivery time, price, and quality, which were problems in the existing monopoly market, has been supplied to Japanese shipyards and Chinese shipyards, starting with companies such as Hyundai, Daewoo, and KSOE, and is now in the global market. It is leading the world as the world's No. 1 company with a 95% market share.
Unitech, a Korean manufacturer specializing in industrial adhesives with world-class quality, is recognized not only for ships but also for automobiles, and most of the vehicles produced in Korea use Unitech's adhesives.
