What Tanhay does
Tanhay (주식회사 단해) is a privately held Korean industrial conglomerate founded in 1973, headquartered in Seoul (relocated April 2025 to the Magok Botanic Gate Knowledge Industry Center) and operating through subsidiaries including KOSDAQ-listed TPC Mechatronics, TPC Pneumatics (US), and TPC China. The group is led by Chairman Eom Ju-seop and serves global automotive OEMs, steel producers, and chemical/process manufacturers through a distribution network of 231 partners across 34 countries.
The company's core technology portfolio centers on three product families: VACUDEST vacuum evaporation concentration systems for industrial wastewater treatment and environmental applications; CCS (Central Coolant Filtration Systems), which holds the #1 domestic market share in Korea and is exported to Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, and Fiat for automotive production lines; and the TBI MOTION brand of linear motion components (linear guides, ball screws, ball splines, miniature linear guides) used in automation equipment, electronics, and semiconductor manufacturing. Additional lines include factory automation and pneumatic equipment, soft grippers, electric cylinders, vehicle rear detection cameras, die casting/precision machining services, and an import/export division for industrial equipment. Recent product launches (H2O and Blue Stone TIDE-E evaporation concentrators, Holographic Display Cabinet) have been showcased at AW 2026, KOREA CHEM 2026, and GreenEnerTEC 2025.
Tanhay monetizes primarily through one-time equipment sales and hardware export contracts under a B2B enterprise field-sales model, targeting automotive OEM production lines and heavy-industry customers. Revenue sources include direct sales of CCS systems to global automakers, TBI Motion components distributed via the global dealer network, and environmental equipment (VACUDEST) for wastewater reuse applications. The 2013 disclosed revenue baseline was approximately 110 billion KRW. The company has been recognized by Korean government ministries with designations including Global Strong Enterprise (2019), Model Taxpayer (2019), and Youth-Friendly Strong Enterprise (2016, 2021), and Chairman Eom Ju-seop received the Geumtap Industrial Merit in 2021.
