ORION said on the 23rd that it held a groundbreaking ceremony for the "Jincheon integrated center" at the Technopolis industrial complex in Jincheon County, North Chungcheong Province. ORION plans to invest a total of 460 billion won in the Jincheon integrated center, which will serve as a forward base for global exports to the United States and Europe.
According to ORION, key officials, including ORION Group Vice Chairman Heo In-cheol, ORION CEO Lee Seung-jun, North Chungcheong Province Vice Governor for Economic Affairs Lee Bok-won, and Jincheon County Governor Song Gi-seop, attended the groundbreaking ceremony.
The Jincheon integrated center aims to be completed in 2027. It is set to be built on a 188,000-square-meter (about 57,000-pyeong) site, the size of 26 soccer fields combined.
ORION said the Jincheon integrated center is a one-stop production base that connects production, packaging, and logistics. Once the center is completed, ORION's domestic production capacity is expected to increase to as much as 2.3 trillion won.
An ORION official said, "With the groundbreaking of the Jincheon integrated center, we have laid the foundation for sustainable growth," and added, "We also plan to contribute to revitalizing Jincheon's local economy, including through job creation."
