About Us

Hyundai was founded in 1946 in Seoul, Korea. The name ‘Hyundai’ literally means ‘Modern era’, and from the very start the company quickly adopted a passion for progress which has been our hallmark ever since. In less than 50 years, the Hyundai group has become a world leader in building everything from ships to microchips, including consumer electronics, oil rigs and massive infrastructure projects. We even have our own steel blast furnace to process raw materials, many of which come from Australia, which provides enhanced quality control over our products.
