Kiturami: how its people are moving

Banseog note · Oct 25, 2026

Kiturami — a boiler company moving toward a heating and cooling group

Where it stands now

Transition — adding AI to boilers and shifting weight toward industrial cooling

According to the company, combined 2025 revenue across the group's affiliates was KRW 1.61 trillion, more than five times the level of 2000, and businesses other than boilers accounted for 70% of it.

Korea's National Pension Service public workplace data shows 169 people on the pension register in August 2026, up 22 (15.0%) from October 2025. Over that period 36 people joined and 14 left.

Three decisions within a year

1. AI boiler: On October 19, 2026 the company released its premium model 'Geokkuro NEW Condensing L10' with the 'Kiturami Boiler AI Room-by-Room Heating System'. Occupancy sensors in each room's thermostat detect people, six days of usage records are learned in 144 ten-minute segments, and the system has received KTR-AI certification.
2. AI carbon mat: The '2027 third-generation Carbon Mat AI Ondol' first went on sale on GS Home Shopping on October 12, 2026, with further broadcasts scheduled for October 22 and 28. It adjusts temperature by detecting sleep patterns and when the user is away.
3. Industrial heating and cooling: At the International HVAC&R Exhibition at KINTEX on October 23–25, 2026, group companies Kiturami Bumyang, Shinsung Engineering and Century showed fan wall units and coolant distribution units for AI data centers, an oil-free turbo chiller said to cut energy use by up to 50%, and chillers for nuclear power plants.

Three people it will look for

1. AI and IoT control software developer — the boiler and carbon mat lines that use occupancy sensors and usage-pattern learning need continuous upgrading
2. B2B HVAC sales and technical sales — tailored heating and cooling equipment has to be proposed to data center, nuclear and semiconductor sites
3. Product planning and brand marketing — the AI boiler and carbon mat need to be promoted through home shopping and advertising in time for the winter peak season

For HR

AI control developers and data center cooling sales staff are sought by large appliance makers and HVAC equipment companies alike. It is best to secure product staff now, as the heating season begins, and B2B staff before the first half of next year, when data center cooling demand grows.

For job seekers

Development experience adding sensors and AI control to appliances, or technical sales experience selling cooling equipment for data centers and industrial sites, is worth the most at this company right now.
