Located in Haman General Industrial Complex, Gunbuk-myeon, Haman-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, Energen Co., Ltd. was established in June 2011 as a generator specialized company that produces emergency generators, enclosures, and EPCs.
Energen Co., Ltd. has set the company's slogan of 'Creative Value Creation Company' as its management goal this year, and is spurring high-quality production activities based on its challenging spirit, creativity, and technological prowess for globalization. Based on this, on June 30th, the Public Procurement Service received a certificate of procurement product designation from the Government Excellent Product Association, which laid the foundation for a leap forward.
After working in a poor environment for 25 years at a small company, CEO Ha Young-sik said, 'One day, I also want to establish a company specializing in eco-friendly generators and work with employees in a good environment.' has established.
CEO Ha recalled that time, saying, “I was a person with a big bone in the field as a general manager and a craftsman.
Until Energen was fostered as an excellent small and medium-sized company, CEO Ha's life journey was not smooth. Born in Buk-myeon, Changwon, as a child, he gave up his childhood dream of becoming a teacher and entered a technical high school due to the difficult family situation in the countryside.
After serving in the military, he got a job at a small company for 25 years and was promoted to the title of director, but he decided to start a business to realize his bigger dream. In 2011, we hired 7 technicians that we needed right away. Indeed, starting from the bottom of the field, he improved his research and technology by reading and reading day and night, and laid the foundation of the company by demonstrating his accumulated know-how.
For stable delivery, it was difficult to deliver to a parent company. However, due to the bankruptcy of a large company that was unimaginable, the supply was stopped. Some of the various facilities and test equipment prepared in the meantime could not be used and became useless. All he had left was bank debt.
However, we did our best day and night to ensure that there is no problem with delivery even with the remaining quantity. In the midst of this, there was a setback in the schedule due to the delay in the delivery of quasi-grade parts. In addition, due to unreasonable correction requests due to the company's initial design mistake, employees were forced to work all night and without holidays, resulting in a safety accident. Here, the financial debt has grown like a mountain, and the eyes have become dark.
As this was the case, some of the staff left their seats one by one. For CEO Ha, that moment was a series of indescribable pain.
After many twists and turns, he once again made up his mind and went to a temple in Changnyeong to find a glimmer of hope. On the way back, the words of the late Hyundai Group Chairman Chung Ju-young, “There are trials, but no failures,” crossed my mind. Recalling the phrase “pabuchimseon” (破釜沈船), who is prepared to die when going out to battle, he clenched his teeth and decided to try again.
He decided, “The only way to live now is to develop new technologies.” With support from the Small and Medium Business Administration and the Pusan National University Disaster Prevention Research Center, all employees were united in research on generators.
At the time of Typhoon Maemi, the flooding of the emergency generator caused a lot of damage to life and property, so we thought of moving the generator above the ground instead of underground. In addition, considering the domestic situation rather than the earthquake-safe zone, a diesel generator with seismic function was developed. The earthquake-resistant diesel generator created in this way is installed on the ground floor and is designed to withstand earthquakes of magnitude 6-7.
In addition, it can be applied to all equipment having a rotating body, so it can be used for prime movers and pumps that require seismic resistance in the future.
CEO Ha said, “If you are afraid of change, you cannot live in the era of unlimited competition.” “As the environmental pollution problem is being seriously discussed around the world, we are challenging the development of eco-friendly generators that do not have soot, and we have set our internal policy to become a 'green company'. built,” he said.
He aims to achieve 20 billion won in sales by 2020 and plans to invest in the defense industry through R&D of the only eco-friendly generator in Korea and diversify exports to China and India.
CEO Ha said, “It was the result of the blood and sweat of the employees who have been in the generator field for more than 20 years that it has grown in such a short period of time since it was founded in 2011.” He then emphasized the sincerity field philosophy of “working hard without self-interest and surely good results will come”.
Following the belief that technology development is the only way to live since founding, CEO Ha acquired venture company certification in 2012, ISO9001/14001, direct production confirmation certification, and selected promising small and medium-sized enterprises (MSS) in 2013 with continuous new technology, government procurement MAS listing, clean workplace recognition, generator By registering a trademark and establishing an affiliated research institute, it is leaping forward as a true eco-friendly company.
In addition, domestic and foreign market conditions were not favorable during this period, but by producing differentiated products to create new values, in 2015, 20~2000kw of generators were produced, technological innovation-type SMEs acquired, K-mark certification, EQ certification, selection of support project for environmental new technology coordinator, etc. is constantly working for
In particular, he expressed his gratitude repeatedly for his wife's support and the hard work of his employees, saying, "The fact that we have been reborn as a power generator company that is recognized for its trustworthiness in name and reality through the registration of excellent products by the Public Procurement Service is the result of our dedication to technology development and high quality day and night."
CEO Ha promised, “We have been recognized for our accumulated professional human resources and our vision for a creative value-creating company, such as positive thinking, consideration, and creative practice, to impress customers."
