President Han Cheol-gyu
Hansol Paper, the No. 1 paper manufacturer in Korea, has appointed Han Cheol-gyu, President of the Business Management Task Force (TF) at Hansol Holdings, as its new CEO. On the 7th, Hansol Paper announced that President Han has been carrying out his duties as the new CEO since the beginning of the year. Lee Sang-hoon, who served as CEO for about seven years since 2012, stepped down from the front lines of management with this personnel change.
The new CEO Han joined Jeonju Paper in 1986 and has worked for over 32 years exclusively at Hansol Paper and the Hansol Group. He has held key positions including Head of Human Resources, Head of the New York branch, Head of Human Resources at Hansol Holdings, and CEO of Hansol Development (Oak Valley Resort).
Industry insiders expect that with Han’s appointment, Hansol Paper will accelerate efforts to discover new industries. Since President Han has been in charge of the Business Management TF at the group’s holding company, it is analyzed that he will speed up mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and business diversification to secure new growth engines.
