1 : 2019/09/11 (Wed) 12: 23: 47.16 ID: trfUA + ni0.net [Seoul Current Affairs] The Korean newspaper on the 11th, the Mainichi Economy, reported that AGC (former Asahi Glass) will close its Korean factory and withdraw by January next year. The paper pointed out that the liquid crystal panel-related business was sluggish as a background to the withdrawal, and that the conflict between Japan and Korea and labor-management issues had an effect. AGC's Korean corporation reported to the road authorities that it would close the factory and building in Gumi, Gyeongsangbuk-do. According to the daily economy, in 2006 the city entered the national industrial park, Although sales increased, the factory operation was suspended from 2015 due to the drop in demand for panels. A Korean government agency designated AGC as a “war criminal company” in 2012. https://www.jiji.com/jc/article?k=2019091100499&g=int The British Financial Times (FT) reported on the 6th that Nissan is considering withdrawal from Korea. With the backdrop of worsening relations between Japan and South Korea, Nissan's local sales have been hit hard by non-buying movements for Japanese products, which is said to accelerate discussions on withdrawal. According to the FT, Nissan is considering stopping car sales and marketing activities in Korea as part of its global business restructuring. Nissan is suffering from a slump in business results, such as the forecast that consolidated operating profit, which represents the main business, will decrease for the fourth consecutive year until the fiscal year ending March 2020. In July, we announced a policy to reduce the number of staff of about 12,500 people worldwide. Reviewing the Korean business is also an issue for efficiency. According to the Korea Imported Automobile Association, the number of Nissan brand cars newly registered in August was 58, down 87% year-on-year. The luxury car brand “Infiniti” also decreased by 68% to 57 units. Nissan's overall sales declined sharply by 57%, but Nissan is in a particularly serious situation. Former Chairman Carlos Ghosn, who was arrested and charged for violating the company law (special responsibilities), commissioned Renault Samsung Motor's Busan plant to produce Nissan's multipurpose vehicle (SUV) "Rogue" There is a history of strengthening the Korean business. However, Ghosn is lost. The deterioration of Japan-Korea relations is driving Nissan's South Korean business. A Nissan spokesman said yesterday that he would not comment on speculation. https://www.sankei.com/economy/news/190907/ecn1909070015-n1.html Sankei News 2019.9.7 14:48 document.write(” + ”); Related article document.write(” + ”);
