Kolon Benit said on the 28th that it held a "2026 town hall meeting" for all employees on the 27th and shared this year's management direction and mid- to long-term execution plans, with an artificial intelligence transformation (AX) as its core growth strategy.

The town hall meeting was a companywide event where top management communicated directly with employees and was conducted by combining a pre-meeting survey with real-time Q&A. About 120 people joined offline and about 200 joined online.

Under the theme "Kolon Benit's growth and AX," the event reviewed 2025 business results and 2026 management goals and shared growth strategies and execution tasks by headquarters. Kolon Benit said revenue and operating profit in 2025 exceeded targets, and noted that this year it plans to pursue changes across business and organizational operations centered on AX, along with revenue growth.

Chief Executive Kang I-gu set a direction to make this year's results visible based on a midterm strategy grounded in AX and DX. The company shared plans to strengthen the execution base of its AX business around its own platforms, PromptON and the Kolon Benit AI Alliance, and to enhance organizational competitiveness by nurturing talent with data analysis and problem-solving capabilities. It also said it will establish clear standards and processes across internal operations to improve execution.

Presentations by each headquarters outlined business plans and key tasks for 2026. The ITM headquarters presented a strategy to boost both stability and efficiency by advancing internal system operations at Kolon Group. The DX headquarters said it will build a structure that links manufacturing and data analytics businesses and expands into AX innovation.

The AX center said it will focus on securing the reliability and sustainability of the AX business by establishing an execution system that links the field, data and solutions. The ITS headquarters will strengthen competitiveness in building and operating external IT systems, while the ITD headquarters presented the advancement of execution systems for the IT distribution business and the expansion of market share as key tasks. The management support institutional sector said it plans to promote stronger support systems to speed up companywide execution and to advance talent operations.
