Doosan Group Embarks on Fourth-Generation Management

 

Maeil Business Newspaper & mk.co.kr:01/16/2008

 

Doosan Group has carried out a major shuffle and promotion of 62 executives across its headquarters and subsidiary companies on January 16 while the fourth-generation offspring of the group’s founding family was noticeably included in the promotion list.

 

Park Jin-won (39), managing director of Doosan Infracore and the eldest son of Doosan Heavy Industries Chairman Park Yong-sung; and Park Tae-won (38), managing director of Doosan Construction & Engineering and the eldest son of the firm’s chairman Park Yong-hyun have been promoted to senior managing director positions in their respective companies.

 

Park Seok-won (36), general manager at Doosan Heavy Industries and the second son of the firm’s chairman Park Yong-sung; and Park Hyung-won (37), general manager at Doosan Infracore and the second son of Doosan Construction & Engineering Chairman Park Yong-hyun have been promoted to managing directors in their respective companies.

 

Consequently, all members of the Doosan Group founding family’s fourth-generation offspring except Park In-won (34), deputy general manager at Doosan Corp. and the third son of Doosan Construction & Engineering Chairman Park Yong-hyun, advanced to core positions in the conglomerate.

 

Hence Doosan’s fourth-generation leaders are now positioned across the foreground of the group management since during the reshuffle at the end of last year, Park Jung-won (45), vice chairman of Doosan Construction & Engineering and Park Ji-won (42), vice president of Doosan Heavy Industries -- both of whom are sons of Park Yong-gon, honorary chairman of Doosan Group -- rose to vice chairman of Doosan Corp. and president of Doosan Heavy Industries, respectively.

 

Apart from the founding family’s scions, as a result of the promotion on the day, Lee Tae-hee, former vice president of Doosan Corp., is now the president of the firm and Choi Young-chun, executive director of Doosan Heavy Industries and Yang Hee-sun, executive director of Doosan Infracore also won promotions to vice president positions in their respective companies.

 

Doosan Group disclosed the background of its across-the-board promotion that, “We have deployed competent players forward to reinforce our global management. Fourth-generation managers passed the same test as others underwent, based on their performance in past years.”

Doosan Completes Bobcat Acquisition

Maeil Business Newspaper & mk.co.kr:12/02/2007

 

Doosan Group has touched up its Bobcat acquisition, which was the largest overseas M&A deal made by a Korean firm.

 

Doosan made a deal with the U.S.-based diversified industrial company Ingersoll-Rand to take over its three construction-equipment units including Bobcat for $4.9 billion in late July and to finance the deal, raised $1 billion independently and $3.9 billion via 12 domestic and foreign financial institutions.

 

Doosan finalized all the necessary process to acquire Ingersoll-Rand’s three units - Bobcat, Utility Equipment and Attachments - and announced the future management polices on December 2.

 

First, Doosan plans to establish a holding company dubbed “Doosan Infracore International (DII)” in the U.S., under which the recently-acquired three business units will operate. As a result, Utility Equipment has been renamed as “Doosan Infracore Portable Power” and Attachments, “DII Attachments.”

Meanwhile, the group has decided to retain the existing management including Bobcat CEO David Rowles by appointing him as CEO of DII.

Doosan Infracore Establishes Nation’s Largest Machine Tool R&D Center

Maeil Business Newspaper & mk.co.kr:11/22/2007

 

Doosan Infracore held a ground-breaking ceremony for the machine tool R&D center at the company’s Plant 1 in Changwon, South Gyeongsang province, Korea on November 22, attended by Vice-chairman Park Yong-man, the company disclosed Thursday.

 

The construction which will be completed in July 2008 will bring out the nation’s largest machine tool R&D center with five stories above and one under ground, with the total floor space reaching 7,036 square meters, Doosan Infracore explained.

 

The company stated, “The center will be equipped with top-notch research installations and test equipments and the exterior of the center’s building will look ultramodern and intelligent with the newest technology blended in the structure.”

Doosan plans to develop future machine tools that will be able to meet the current fusion technology (FT) trend toward complexity, precision and high-speed in the newly-established R&D center.

 

Kim Woong-beom, head of the machine tool business group (BG) at Doosan Infracore, said, “Just following the technology of advanced enterprises cannot secure us the leading position in the world machine tool industry. The machine tool R&D center where we will create new technology on our own initiative will play a key role in making us the world’s No.1 machine tool manufacturer by 2015.”

Doosan to spend $4.9 billion to buy equipment makers

 

JoongangIlbo & Joins.com:07/31/2007

In the biggest overseas acquisition ever made by a Korean firm, the construction equipment arm of Doosan Group said yesterday it had agreed to purchase three key units of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited for $4.9 billion.Doosan Infracore will buy three construction equipment firms from the Bermuda-based company: Bobcat, a world-leading brand, as well as Utility Equipment and Attachments.Those units employ about 5,700 employees worldwide and generated a combined sales revenue of $2.6 billion last year, Doosan Infracore said in an e-mailed release.Doosan said it wants to add compact construction equipment to its existing line of medium- and large-sized equipment, as well as strengthen its sales and global networks.The acquisition of Bobcat will help the Korean firm gain name recognition in overseas markets, said Jeong Dong-ik, an analyst for CJ Investment and Securities.Shares of Doosan Infracore surged 14.9 percent, or 4,800 won ($5.20), to end at 37,000 won yesterday.

 

Jeong said it is not certain, however, whether further gains will immediately follow because the share price is “not that cheap” even now.

 

Doosan Group is Korea’s 11th-largest conglomerate by asset size.

 

Doosan Infrastructure is one of the group’s core businesses, along with Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction.

 

Doosan will pay $700 million in initial acquisition fees, then pay the rest in installments.Ingersoll-Rand owns dozens of firms around the world and reported $964 million in net earnings during the second quarter of 2007.

 

The firm wants to transition from cyclical, heavy machinery into more profitable climate-control technology, said Bae Kyun-ho, a Doosan Group spokesman.

 

Climate-control products include ways to transport, preserve, store and display temperature-sensitive products.

 

Upon completion of the sale, Doosan Infrastructure will have a combined network of more than 3,700 dealers worldwide and 20 factories in countries such as the United States, China, Belgium, France and the Czech Republic, the company said.With the purchase, Doosan expects its sales this year to amount to $7.4 billion won, boosting its global ranking from the current 17th to seventh in the construction equipment sector.

Doosan Acquires U.S. Heavy Industry Equipment Markers: Largest Domestic M&A Abroad

 

MAEIL NEWSPAPER:07/30/2007

Doosan Infracore Co. Ltd. and Doosan Engine Co. Ltd. have concluded a contract to acquire three business sectors of Ingersoll Rand Co. Ltd. in New York: construction heavy equipment, attachment and utility, for about $4.9 billion or 4.5 trillion won, with Park Yong-man, vice-president of Doosan Group and Herb Henkel, chairman of Ingersoll Rand in presence.

 

Doosan Infracore has surged in the ranking of construction heavy equipment makers after acquiring Ingersoll Rand, a leading diversified industrial conglomerate.

 

The recent contract is the largest scale Merger & Acquisition (M&A) in the overseas market, done by a domestic company.

 

Doosan Infracore and Doosan Engine are scheduled to establish a joint overseas corporate for the recent acquisition.

 

The three aforementioned business sectors acquired by Doosan Infracore have a network of about 2,700 dealers in the U.S. and Europe and 16 production plants in six countries and raised $2.6 billion in sales and $370 million in operating profit in 2006.

 

The construction heavy equipment business arm has a market share of 38 percent and 43 percent in the U.S. and Europe in 2006, respectively.

 

The heavy equipment attachment arm has a global market share of eight percent, the largest share, and the air compressor arm has a market share of 28 percent in the utilities sector.

 

Through such an epoch-making acquisition, Doosan Infracore has fortified its construction equipment business portfolio by complementing compact equipment business in the medium- and large-sized construction heavy equipment business.

 

Moreover, Doosan Infracore has managed to form a global sales & production network by gaining about 20 production plants in China, Belgium, North America, France and Republic of Czech, and procuring a 3,700-dealer network, worldwide.

 

The sales volume of Doosan Infracore is expected to increase from 4.4 trillion won to 7 trillion won this year thanks to the acquisition.

 

Furthermore, Doosan Infracore has been pushing for M&A with overseas companies by executing merger with CTI and a Chinese wheel loader this year.
