Kumho Asiana Rises to 9th Largest Group, Beating Hanjin

MAEIL NEWSPAPER : 04/16/2007

 

Kumho Asiana Group became the 9th largest corporate group in Korea, beating rival companies such as Doosan, Hanhwa and Hyundai Heavy Industries.

 

According to the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) and business circles on Monday, which released corporate ranking in Korea in terms of assets as of the end of 2006, Kumho Asiana Group increased its assets by 9.9 trillion won to reach 22.9 trillion won through its acquisition of Daewoo Construction Co. last year.

 

Kumho Asiana was ranked 13th with 13 trillion in assets in 2005, while the group jumped four steps to the 9th, successively beating Doosan Group, Hanwha Group and Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hanjin Group.

 

Hanjin recorded 22.2 trillion won in assets, up 1.5 trillion won from the previous year, but sagged to the tenth amid Kumho Asiana's strides.

 

However, Hanjin is expected to retake its previous ninth place in the ranking of conglomerates as it recently acquired 2.4 trillion won worth of treasury stocks in S-Oil. This will make the company's overall assets reach 24.6 trillion won.

 

In the retail industry, E·Land Group, which took over Carrefour last year, sharply increased its assets by 2.6 trillion won and leaped in the ranking from the 46th to the 26th. The company beat its big rival, Hyundai Department Store.

 

Meanwhile, Kolon and Hyosung, two rival groups in the petrochemical industry, have exchanged their places, as well.

 

Kolon scored 4.9 trillion won in assets, a 500 billion won rise from a year earlier, and ascended from the 32nd to the 28th in the ranking, while Hyosung, which increased its assets by 100 billion won, fell from the 29th to the 33rd.

 

Among automakers, Hyundai Motor Group with 66.2 trillion won in assets and GM Daewoo Auto Company with 7.3 trillion won revealed a wide gap in the ranking, the 2nd and the 21st, respectively, and Hyundai Heavy Industries (20.6 trillion won, 11th), Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (6.1 trillion won, 22nd) and STX (5.9 trillion won, 24th) among shipbuilders were included in the list.

Korean group buying Kazakh gas field share

JoongangIlbo & Joins.com :12/12/2006

 

[JoongangIlbo]A Korea National Oil Corp.-led group bought 50 percent of a Kazakh gas field and will begin exploration next year, allowing Asia’s fourth-largest economy to secure supplies amid surging competition for the fuel.

 

The Korean group agreed on Nov. 18 to buy the stake in South Karpovsky field from Kazakhstan’s Meridian LLP, Korea’s Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy said in a statement yesterday. The Kazakh government approved the sale and handed over joint operating rights on Dec. 1, the statement said.

 

Korea, which imports almost all of its oil, is trying to diversify its energy after Dubai crude, Korea’s benchmark, climbed to a record $72.70 a barrel in July.

 

The gas field in northwestern Kazakhstan holds an estimated 46 million metric tons of liquefied natural gas, yesterday’s statement said. If the reserves are proven, it will meet Korea’s current annual LNG imports of 23 million tons, the statement said.

 

Korea Nation, the state-run resource explorer, has 17.5 percent of the Korean stake; GS Holdings Corp. has 12.5 percent; Keangnam Enterprises Ltd. holds 7.5 percent; Korea Kumho Petrochemical Co. has 5 percent; and Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. owns 5 percent.

Kumho Petrochemical Raises Stakes in Subsidiaries

KOREA TIMES: 02-12-2006 

 

By Kim Yon-se /Staff Reporter

Kumho Asiana Group is restructuring its cross-unit shareholding structure in a move to create a holding firm of the group.

 

Kumho Petrochemical is expected to emerge as the holding firm of Kumho Asiana Group as it is actively purchasing stakes in affiliates, analysts said.

 

Last Friday, Kumho Industrial sold its 32.14-percent stake in Kumho Tires, or 22.6 million shares worth 340 billion won to Kumho Petrochemical.

 

The petrochemical unit has already played as the de facto holding firm of Kumho Asiana under group chairman Park Sam-koo’s commitment to the revamping of the intra-group shareholding structure.

 

Kumho Petrochemical holds a 42.49 percent stake in Kumho Industrial, 49.51 percent in Kumho Rent-A-Car, 31.74 percent in Kumho Life Insurance, 14.61 percent in Asiana Airlines and 39.7 percent in Kumho P&B.

 

Chairman Park and his families and relatives hold a 40.25 percent stake in the petrochemical unit.

 

Kumho Asiana Group is planning to take over Daewoo Engineering & Construction. Kumho Industrial, the construction unit of the group, is believed to have sold its stake in Kumho Tires to raise funds for its bid for Daewoo Engineering.

 

Kumho is one of the competitive potential buyers of Daewoo Construction placed in the auction market. Hanwha and Doosan Group are also competing to take over Daewoo Engineering.

 

The nation’s 10th largest group has announced its new corporate identity (CI) on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the group’s foundation, and the new CI will be applied to all its affiliates.

 

The new symbol combines Kumho’s initial and Asiana’s image of wings with multicolored stripes. The color is red, which has always been used for the group’s CIs.
