Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (HHI) announced that it invited its 15 partner companies to visit China International Industry Fair (CIIF) 2014 held at Shanghai New International Expo Center from November 4 to 8.

140,000 exhibitors from 1,600 companies in 20 countries showcased industrial equipment including industrial robots, automation systems, machine tools, and energy systems at the 16th CIIF event.

The representatives of HHI partner companies viewed the company’s robotic systems that are being displayed as well as other industrial equipment built by such global corporations as ABB and Siemens AG. They also attended the consulting sessions on automation technology including electrical system and industrial IT to keep up with current industry trends.

As a socially responsible corporate citizen, HHI has been building a solid foundation for shared growth with its partner companies by inviting partners to international industrial exhibitions, making earlier-than-scheduled payment for materials before national holidays and setting up the ‘shared growth fund’ offering loans to partner companies at low interest rates.

In July 2011, HHI launched Machinery Industry Shared Growth Promotion Foundation with Korea Association of Machinery Industry to help its partners strengthen their competitive edge in the spirit of mutual growth. In June this year, HHI won a prize for excellence in ‘the mutual growth’ category from the First Shanghai CSR Award for Korean Companies in China.
