The centre plans to strengthen its manpower by securing and training experts in the basic design of production processes and major facilities, said the company in a press release. “We are not content with the idea that the world’s No 1 products mean the world’s No 1 technologies. We will achieve ‘technology convergence’ by adding technology to technology,” Hyosung chairman Hyun-Joon Cho said. Hyosung holds 548 patents related to textiles, 708 patents related to advanced materials, and 1,037 patents related to the chemical at home and abroad.
