Shinwon — Central American export plants and domestic brands growing together

Where it stands now

Recovery and expansion — regaining profitability after passing KRW 1 trillion in revenue

In 2025 consolidated revenue rose 16.3% to KRW 1.0922 trillion, passing KRW 1 trillion for the first time.

Second-quarter 2026 revenue of KRW 309.9 billion (+11%) exceeded KRW 300 billion in a quarter for the first time since the company's founding, and first-half operating profit was KRW 13.8 billion (+92%).

Three decisions within a year

Expanding Latin American production: the company increased its Guatemala plants to six at the end of 2025 and set out a nearshoring strategy of widening Latin American production infrastructure while making Asian production bases more efficient.
Second-half plans: the company said it would raise productivity through AI-based production planning and supply chain management, and introduce the premium casual line 'FAHREN' at department stores and premium outlets.
Share buyback: in July 2026 it decided on and carried out a KRW 4.0 billion purchase of its own shares.

Three people it will look for

Central America production subsidiary manager — must lead operations at the six Guatemala plants and line additions
Production planning and SCM digital lead — AI production planning and supply chain management are being introduced
Menswear brand merchandiser and retail sales — someone is needed to expand the FAHREN line in department stores and outlets

For HR

People who have run Central American plants are also sought by other large apparel OEM vendors. To keep pace with the second-half FAHREN expansion and the introduction of AI production planning, people need to be in place before year-end.

For job seekers

Experience running sewing plants in Central America, such as in Guatemala, and experience running a department store menswear brand, are worth the most at this company right now.
