What Hyundai Glovis Logistics does

Hyundai Glovis Co., Ltd. (현대글로비스 주식회사) is the dedicated logistics subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Group (현대자동차그룹), providing integrated supply chain services spanning finished vehicle transportation, knocked-down (KD) parts supply for overseas assembly plants, warehouse and distribution (W&D), and global shipping and forwarding. The company serves Hyundai Motor and Kia's domestic operations and overseas CKD factories as its primary base, while expanding into external markets across food and beverage, cosmetics, raw materials, and aerospace parts. Operational footprint includes a Seoul headquarters, a newly opened 16,000+ pyeong Ansan W&D Center, Ulsan parts sequencing facilities processing approximately 400 vehicles per hour and 1 million parts daily, 13 nationwide W&D business locations, and a Beijing-based subsidiary for China operations, with documented service reach extending to the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and India.\n\nThe business operates through multiple revenue streams: transaction-fee-based automotive logistics and KD parts supply for Hyundai Motor Group affiliates, managed-services-based W&D for both Hyundai Green Food (group cafeteria supply via 3-temperature vehicles) and external customers such as Hite Jangro, Orion, Godiva, Pulmuone, Hansamin, Nonghyup, and Boeing, and transaction-fee-based maritime shipping and forwarding including renewable energy cargo from China to Europe. Distribution runs through direct B2B enterprise sales teams—Global Strategy Shipping Sales Team (글로벌전략화주영업팀), W&D Business 1 Team, and the newly formed CKD Business Team (CKD사업팀)—with no public disclosure of pricing structures.\n\nThe technology backbone comprises three proprietary platforms: GVIS, an end-to-end visibility system tracking vehicle movement from factory release to final delivery through consolidated ship, port, and external data feeds; VODA, an analytics portal that automates repetitive reporting; and GBP (Global Business Platform), a data integration platform aggregating internal systems, external APIs, and affiliate feeds. These platforms are complemented by internally developed AI automation tools built through an in-house AI Agent CWT Bootcamp, including a shipping work portal reducing weekly workload by 3+ hours per user, a KD auto-ordering system, and invoice correction marking automation that saves approximately 175 hours annually across 350 cases.
