Transformation by shifting the focus from internal combustion engines to future cars:
In order to improve the environment of aged Gunsan National Industrial Complexes that have been operating over thirty-eight years and strengthen their production competitiveness, efforts are ongoing to transform the Jeonbuk Industrial Complexes 1 and 2 by shifting the focus from internal combustion engines to future cars. Gunsan National Industrial Complexes will emerge as a production base for commercial mobility and be connected with nearby Iksan General Industrial Complex 2, Wanju Science Industrial Complex, and Saemangeum National Industrial Complex to complete the innovation towards future industries.
Upgraded to Eco-Friendly Industrial Complexes:
Gunsan National Industrial Complexes have recently been upgrading to eco-friendly industrial complexes by promoting renewable energy generated from wind and floating solar panels. The Complexes' facilities and environment will also be improved through upgrade projects such as remodeling closed factories and building multi-purpose cultural centers, which will continue to support the growth of businesses.
