About Us

Korean piezoelectric ceramic manufacturer,
Kyungwon Industry

Kyungwon Industrial Co., Ltd. was established in Gunpo, Gyeonggi-do in 1980 and developed and mass-produced magnets and piezoelectric ceramics for the first time in Korea. We relocated first to the Shihwa National Industrial Complex in 1991.

In the domestic market, which was a barren land for piezoelectric ceramics, we started localization development in early 1990. In 1996, we expanded a ceramic factory, established a company-affiliated research center, and developed piezoelectric ceramics for automobile knock sensor through joint development with KIST. In 2005, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy selected the piezoelectric ceramics produced by our company as Korea's world-class products. Currently, domestic production of piezoelectric ceramics is No. 1.

In 1996, we entered the market by supplying piezoelectric ceramics for knock sensors for automobiles, which had been entirely dependent on imports, to Hyundai Motor Company. Started exporting to global auto parts companies Continental and Bosch in 2005, and achieved the feat of taking the top position (65%) in global market share from 2015 to the present. and proven productivity.

As the largest domestic producer of piezoceramic used in the navy's sonar system in the domestic defense industry, we are striving to increase the defense power of the Republic of Korea.

Supplying Automotive Knock Sensor Piezoelectric ceramics to Hyundai Motor Company in early 1996, the Company Entered the Market.

Started exporting products to global automotive part suppliers Continental and Bosch in 2005, the Company has achieved the top global market share (65%) up to now since 2015. Continental selected the Company as a strategic partner in the piezoceramic area, which proved the Company’s technologies, quality, and productivity.

In the defense industry in Korea, the Company has localized
