Company Introduction

Young Poong, a global leader of non-ferrous metals

Produces world-class quality zinc ingot and non-ferrous metals.

Business Introduction Management Strategy

Sukpo smelter of Young Poong Co., Ltd. Manufactures zinc ingot, an important basic material that is used in industries such as steel making, automobiles, consumer-electronics, and construction.

Beginning the production of non-ferrous metals in the 1970’s, Sukpo smelter expanded equipment and adopted new technologies with continuous investments and is now equipped with the capacity to produce the largest quantity, best quality zinc ingots in Korea.

Currently, Sukpo smelter is recognized internationally as a producer of high-quality zinc ingots based upon accumulated technologies and expertise. In particular, we have recieved favorable reviews from customers for producing a wide range of high-quality zinc alloy ingots.

Moreover, valuable metals such as copper and silver are recovered from zinc residues after smelting zinc and manufactured as byproducts through the use of Top Submerged Lance (TSL) — a world-class, environmentally friendly material treatment process.

We will endeavor to make Sukpo smelter the world’s most competitive smelter by continuously investing in equipment and carrying out research and development for Sukpo smelter.

Young Poong Opens the Era of Environment-Friendly Green Metals.

Based on the unchallenged metal recovery technology accumulated for the last half a century in the smelting industry, Young Poong leads the way to realize a low-carbon, environment-friendly society. We contribute to the environment-friendly circular economy through strategic material circulation technology that is used to recover major metals from waste resources such as spent battery. Young Poong pursues sustainable growth through harmonization of traditional industries and new industries to bring about a brighter future, a greater vision, and a new era.

Seven Steps of Autonomous Maintenance

0. Being Neat and Tidy

Remove unnecessary items, prepare only the required items in fixed quantities, and store them in designated positions.

1. Initial Cleaning

Identify defects by using the five senses.

2. Addressing Sources of Contamination and Difficult to Access Places

Identify sources of contamination and the difficult-to-access places where cleaning, inspection or fueling is difficult, and address them.

3. Cleaning and Fueling Standard Documents

The operator prepares an equipment management standard document that is practical and can be followed by the operator.

4. General Equipment Inspection

Attain a level of understanding of the equipment’s functional structure and key processing points.

5. General Process Inspection

Revise the cleaning, inspection and fueling standard documents, perform autonomous inspection and prevent a failure customarily.

6. Quality Assurance of Process

Understand the relationship between quality and equipment and take action prior to the occurrence of any defect.

7. Autonomous Management

Perform Steps 1 to 6 habitually and customarily.
