To help create more prosperity for humanity, Doosan has focused on providing what people need the most. In 1896, founding Chairman Seung-Jik Park opened Korea’s first modern store, the original entity of Doosan, which later earned a reputation as a trendsetter for developing the first modern cosmetic products in Korea. In the 1950s, Doosan started to diversify its business as a corporate group by setting foot in international trading and establishing Oriental Brewery(later changed to OB Beer). Doosan further expanded its business to construction, food and beverages, machinery, media, cultural services and more in the 1960s. Afterward, Doosan’s focus was shifted to areas that are more closely related to fundamentally contributing to human lives, such as energy, clean water, roads, infrastructure and buildings. In the year that marked the 100th anniversary of our founding, we incorporated multiple subsidiaries into the holding company and implemented advanced processes and systems. Since then, Doosan has carried out a series of M&A deals to successfully transform itself into a global leader in the infrastructure support business sector. Doosan competes and thrives both at home and abroad.
