On the 9th, Hanwha held the ‘2024 Hanwha Family Harmony Festival’ at Robot Land in Gusan-myeon, Masanhappo-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam, targeting about 3,000 people including employees and their families from Gyeongnam-based partner companies such as Hanwha, Hanwha Aerospace, Hanwha Ocean, Hanwha Engine, Hanwha Solutions, Hanwha Power Systems, and Hanwha Precision Machinery.

At the event, participants enjoyed free access to 32 rides and attractions within the theme park and took part in various events such as quiz programs and sports competitions.

In particular, many families enthusiastically participated in the ‘Robot School,’ where children could directly assemble robot and K9 self-propelled howitzer models to better understand the characteristics of the robot special zone and local industries. At the ‘EDU-perience Zone’ within the theme park, attendees showed great interest as they experienced making food and coffee and encountered various robots used in industrial and autonomous driving applications.

Hanwha also provided attendees with ‘food coupons’ usable within the theme park, contributing to the revitalization of shops located in the theme park, which is emerging as a representative tourist destination in the region.

Additionally, diverse programs such as a ‘Magic & Bubble Show’ for young children, ‘Hanwha Golden Bell’ quiz to understand Hanwha, and a ‘Find Hanwha QR Event’ were prepared.

Kim Jong-seop, team leader at Daesin S&C, a Hanwha partner company, who participated in the event, said, “This was my first visit to Robot Land through this partner company invitation event, and I liked the variety of attractions and food. It became a memorable day as I made special memories with my children and felt like a true partner of Hanwha.”

Robot Land set up a comprehensive control room considering the larger-than-usual crowd and strengthened safety management beyond normal levels, making every effort to prevent safety accidents.

Hanwha plays a pivotal role in the industrial development of Gyeongnam by establishing partnerships with over 1,300 partner companies in the region and about 80,000 employees, accounting for 20% of the 400,000 manufacturing workers in Gyeongnam.

To strengthen partner companies’ competitiveness, Hanwha supports building a stable growth foundation through various programs such as the ‘Partner Company Job Fair,’ ‘Smart Factory Construction Support Project,’ ‘Partner Company Quality and Technical Training,’ and ‘Coexistence Cooperation Special Fund.’

Moreover, each affiliate operates customized social contribution programs tailored to the region, including housing environment improvement projects for low-income groups in Gyeongnam, youth scholarship programs, and support activities for marginalized and vulnerable groups.

Ryu Doo-hyung, head of Hanwha Ocean’s Management Planning Office, said, “This event is an opportunity to thank the efforts of partner company members who have grown together with Hanwha and to reaffirm the commitment to co-growth with Gyeongnam and partner companies. We will continue to strengthen activities that provide direct and practical help to partner companies in the Gyeongnam region.”

Hanwha plans to continue practicing Chairman Kim Seung-yeon’s ‘Together Far’ coexistence management philosophy through co-growth with partner companies in the Gyeongnam region and contribute to the economic revitalization of Gyeongnam by expanding investments to secure future competitiveness.
