• Chungcheong Province Corporate Growth Support Center Joint Planning - People who dream of a star company ⑨ HANLAB

Good Morning Chungcheong will introduce a small hidden champion enterprise in Chungcheong province with the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation's Chungcheong Regional Enterprise Growth Support Center.

Last year, Chungcheong Province Corporate Growth Support Center selected and supported 10 export companies with sales more than 10 billion won, and Goodmorning Chungcheong wrote a serially about five star companies.

This year, we will continue to focus on Chungcheong region companies that are likely to grow.

The company that will be introduced for the ninth time is HANLAB Corporation

HANLAB started as an importer of medical devices in 1993 and has succeeded in securing proprietary technology while localizing automatic balancing centrifuges.
At the time HANLAB was founded, almost all medical devices had to be imported from abroad.

Ryu Heui-Geun, chairman of HANLAB, did not give up his dream of manufacturing, although he made profits by importing medical devices and delivering them to medical institutions such as hospitals.

He believed that if he localized foreign medical devices, he could get a monopoly position in the domestic market.
However, copying foreign products was not meaningful.
Chairman Ryu focused on research and development to secure proprietary technology.
The IMF (International Monetary Fund) is an opportunity to attract excellent researchers who have lost their jobs.
After more than six years' investment, HANAB develops automatic balancing centrifuges.

Technology that cannot be imitated ... "Catch me if you can"

The centrifuge is a machine that separates substances according to particle size and density by rotating the homogeneous liquid in a test tube at high speed.

It is mainly used in medical institutions, but it is very important that the balance is not shifted to one side.

In the past, there was an inconvenience that users had to work on balancing by hand, but HANLAB automate it.

This technology is not only the world's first, but also it has not been able to imitate after 17 years, HANLAB has developed.

Based on this, HANLAB started to produce automatic balancing centrifuges in earnest and exported to 16 countries in the world as well.

Automated sample Classification and Transfer launch date close, expect new growth

Chairman Ryu believed that if he sold a lot of good products, the business would succeed.

But business management was different. He has suffered a crisis in his second year of business.

Although it was a competitive product anywhere in the world, the reaction of domestic medical institutions in the early days was surprisingly cold.

He worked very hard to build awareness of the products, but this time the management skills were a problem.

There were many cases when the company suffered from financial difficulties while making a surplus in sales.

He felt he had to secure the expertise of financial management.
