To practice a field-centered management policy, Chairman Kim has communicated directly with 140 small and medium ventures once a week as a principle, acting as a mediator between the field and policy. He visited the 33 regional headquarters under SBC’s jurisdiction on average more than four times to hear opinions from the field. This led to SBC’s key projects such as supporting small and medium ventures to overcome crises, innovative growth, economic structure transformation, regional industry and regulatory innovation, and policy service innovation task discovery.
This field visit was also arranged to explore ways to expand exports and create quality jobs for small and medium ventures in the medical and healthcare industry, which is expected to grow rapidly due to aging and increased health interest. Da-il Jeonggong mainly produces peripheral equipment such as ultrasound devices and X-ray frames. In particular, it strengthens inspection process capabilities regarding product movement, mechanical strength, corrosion, and coating reliability to supply global companies. It is also preparing to grow into a global strong small company by expanding exports to Malaysia and Europe. Park Chung-beom, CEO of Da-il Jeonggong, said, "Through SBC’s policy funds, export marketing, and workforce training support, we were able to improve work efficiency and strengthen export competitiveness," adding, "Based on accumulated know-how, we will grow from a national representative small company to a global company."
Chairman Kim said, "To respond to worsening export conditions due to external environmental changes such as rising raw material prices caused by the Russia-Ukraine war and global economic recession, SBC is supporting various policies," and added, "SBC will actively support timely and swift multifaceted assistance needed by export companies and help companies creating quality jobs in the region to grow."
