Winix — an air appliance maker whose exports have overtaken domestic sales

Where it stands now

Transition — shifting to an export-led structure while opening ventilation appliances and direct sales channels

Of separate-basis revenue of KRW 107.5 billion in the first half of 2026, exports accounted for KRW 56.7 billion (52.8%), ahead of domestic sales of KRW 50.7 billion. The main export markets are the Americas, Europe, Australia and Japan.

Korea's National Pension Service public workplace data shows 234 people on the pension register in August 2026, down 34 (12.7%) from October 2025.

Three decisions within a year

Entering ventilation appliances: on October 23, 2026 the company launched a multi-function bathroom ventilator combining ventilation, warm air, dehumidification and body care in one unit, and ran a discount event of up to 15% on its official website until November 8.
AI live commerce: to its own live broadcasts, run more than 1,300 times since October 2022, the company added AI live broadcasts from the second quarter of 2026, and it is growing its direct-to-consumer (D2C) channel with a dedicated studio at its Pangyo office.
Guarantee for its airline subsidiary: at a board meeting on October 6, 2026 the company decided to provide a debt guarantee of KRW 30.9738 billion for aircraft leases (through March 14, 2034) of its wholly owned subsidiary Parata Air.

Three people it will look for

Overseas sales and regional marketing lead — with exports above half of sales, managing the Americas, Europe, Australia and Japan has become central
Ventilation and HVAC appliance development engineer — having entered a new category with the bathroom ventilator, follow-up products must come next
D2C and live commerce operations lead — the company is growing a direct sales channel that runs its own broadcasts and AI broadcasts together

For HR

Overseas appliance sales and HVAC appliance development staff are also sought by other home appliance companies and large appliance makers. Having just entered ventilation appliances, it is best to bring in development and overseas sales leaders first.

For job seekers

Experience managing overseas appliance buyers, developing ventilation or HVAC products, or running live commerce directly is what this company values most right now.
