What ILJIN AND Co., Ltd does
ILJIN AND Co., Ltd is a privately-held Korean marine systems integrator founded in October 1995 in Busan, South Korea. The company designs and supplies integrated safety and smart ship solutions — covering fire protection (XLESS linked ESD, XBSL bunkering safety link, water spray/deluge systems, external fire fighting systems, loose fire fighting equipment), smart ship electronics (IP CCTV, AI video analytics, VoIP auto telephone systems, fixed piloting units, smart display panels, digital measuring instrument panels, night vision systems), VSAT/Starlink connectivity, and OT/IT cybersecurity meeting IACS UR E26. The portfolio is split between a Safer Solution category (fire protection and emergency shutdown) and a Smarter Solution category (digital monitoring, communication, navigation, and cybersecurity).
The company primarily serves Korean and international naval forces (Korean Navy Aegis destroyers and frigates, Philippine Navy OPVs), coast guards (Korea Coast Guard patrol ships), major commercial shipyards (HD HHI, SK Ocean Plant, HJ Shipbuilding), and commercial fleet operators including KNUTSEN (LNG) and MAERSK (container). It maintains direct sales to shipyards and naval procurement alongside a network of 22 authorized sales/service agents across 22 countries in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania. Products are certified to maritime class standards (DNV, IEC 60945, ATEX, IECEx, OCIMF, SGMF) and the company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001 certifications.
ILJIN AND operates with 11-50 employees and runs a wholly-owned R&D subsidiary IJXCOM (established 2017) focused on remote vessel monitoring and AI video analytics. Revenue is generated primarily through B2B hardware sales to shipyards (design-in at newbuild) and naval procurement, supplemented by recurring VSAT/Starlink airtime subscription services. No private equity, venture capital, or institutional investor backing is disclosed; the company is led by CEO Hong Sangeui and operates as an independent going concern with active contracts and product development through 2024.
