Industrial materials distribution specialist iMarketKorea is accelerating efforts to build global supply chain hubs.
iMarketKorea said on the 6th that it signed a business agreement with global logistics company Hanaro One Way as the first tenant of the Gradiant Technology Park (GTP), which is under development in Taylor, Texas, and will fully launch the move-in project.
GTP is an industrial complex that iMarketKorea is building near the Samsung Electronics Taylor semiconductor plant in the United States, aiming to establish a supply chain hub that integrates production, logistics, and procurement functions for semiconductor and advanced manufacturing corporations. As logistics demand from partners has risen rapidly around the Samsung Electronics Taylor plant, the area is emerging as a semiconductor supply chain cluster.
Hanaro One Way, the first tenant, is a comprehensive logistics company expanding its logistics and warehouse operations in North America. Based on its logistics operations experience at the Samsung Electronics Austin semiconductor plant, it is strengthening a logistics cooperation system linked to the Taylor foundry plant.
GTP is in phase one of development, building two industrial facilities. Completion is targeted for the third quarter of 2026. iMarketKorea plans to expand the attraction of logistics and manufacturing corporations and support Korean corporations' entry into the United States through an integrated support system that connects procurement (MRO), logistics, and operations.
An iMarketKorea official said, "This agreement is significant as a starting point for building a supply chain within the industrial complex," adding, "We will continue to attract corporations capable of responding to the expanding industrial ecosystem centered on the Samsung Electronics Taylor plant."
