KCMT announced that it signed a business agreement with Siaplan Architects on March 15 (Friday) to expand the design application and market for eco-friendly rebar substitute KEco at its Ulju factory.  

The agreement, which was attended by KCMT CEO Kim Jun-young, CEO Yoon Jung-hyun of Sia Plan Architecture, and other officials, focuses on expanding the green material market, introducing KEco Bar into architectural designs first, and utilizing KEco in ESG management practices and various business fields.

In particular, it is a high-level architectural design specialist recognized for its large-scale projects such as Dogok-dong Tower Palace, Jeju Dream Tower, and Haeundae Centum Star Tower, as well as 5-star hotels and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art.
