History
[edit]The SK Ecoplant was founded in 1962 as Hyupwoo Industry (Korean: 협우산업). It was later acquired by Seonkyung Group in 1977 and its name changed to Seonkyung Construction (Korean: 선경종합건설), and then to SK Construction (Korean: SK건설) in 1984.[1]
Since then, the company has acquired several environmental management companies, including waste incineration and landfill, and in February 2022, it acquired TES, a Singapore-based electrical and electronic waste management company.[1][2] In November 2021, It acquired Samkang M&T (Korean: 삼강엔앰티), a shipbuilding and equipment company that had been manufacturing offshore wind power plants since the early 2010s, and incorporated it as a subsidiary, and in January 2023, the company changed its name to SK Oceanplant.[3][4]
