Poongsan Corporation (Korean: 풍산; Hanja: 豊山; RR: Pung-san) is a South Korean manufacturer of copper and copper alloy materials, ammunition and precision forging products founded in 1968. The company's main business areas are non-ferrous metal processing, such as bi-metallic coins and copper alloy products, which account for 70% of sales, and it also manufactures various military ammunition, gunpowder, and propellants.[2][3] As of 2023, bimetallic coin products produced in Poongsan are exported to more than 70 countries and account for more than 50% of the global coin blank market.[4]
History
Poongsan was founded by Ryu Chan-u in 1968. It entered the defense industry five years later, during the extended rule of the strongly anti-North Korean former military dictator Park Chung-hee. The company initially focused on mass-producing ammunition for the South Korean military and gradually expanded its business from there.[5][6]
Businesses
Defence
Poongsan produces a variety of ammunition types, such as 5.56-millimeter rifle bullets, 155 mm howitzer shells, anti-aircraft shells, mortar shells, tank shells, and naval artillery shells. The U.S. is Poongsan's largest ammunition export destination. The Middle East is a major market and also exports to Europe.[5][7]
Non-ferrous meterial
Copper applications are Poongsan's main area of expertise. The company produces copper and copper alloy sheets and strips, tubes, rods, and wires for use in various industries. Poongsan is one of the world's largest suppliers of coin blanks. It was Korea's sole coin manufacturer in 1970, and it first exported coin blanks to Taiwan in 1973, then to other countries, including the EU and the U.S.[6][8][9]
