Samsung C&T Corporation is a multifaceted South Korean conglomerate with a global presence, operating across South Korea, the rest of Asia, Europe, and the Americas. The company's extensive activities are categorized into four primary divisions: engineering and construction, trading and investment, fashion, and resort services. Its engineering and construction division encompasses the development and building of residential housing, civil infrastructure projects, industrial plants, and general building structures. The trading and investment segment is involved in the distribution and supply of a wide array of goods, including industrial chemicals (such as polymers, fertilizers, methanol, electronic and precision materials), various steel products (hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and stainless), natural resources (like coal, copper, and other raw metals), palm oil, and consumer-oriented industrial materials (such as textiles, food products, and wood pellets). This segment also spearheads large-scale projects, focusing on areas like power generation, renewable energy, and infrastructure development, in addition to managing palm plantations. Within its fashion arm, the company manages a portfolio of brands, including GALAXY and BEANPOLE for men's and casual wear; KUHO and LEBEIGE, which offer women's clothing, accessories, children's apparel, and outdoor gear; and the fast-fashion (SPA) label, 8seconds. Its resort operations encompass golf course management, landscaping services, and food and beverage establishments. Founded in 1938, the company, headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, operated as Cheil Industries Inc. until its rebranding to Samsung C&T Corporation in September 2015.
