Brand history

Samsung is a South Korean company specializing in consumer electronics, products for the heavy and defense industries, and construction. It includes many subsidiaries that are involved in the insurance, advertising and music industry. All manufactured products make up one fifth of the export of this state. The Daegu-based company was founded in 1938. From the outset, the scale of the firm was small. The very first products that the company sold were grocery products, including rice and noodles, as well as products of its own production.

Samsung's first headquarters

Despite the development in the capital of South Korea, by the end of the 1940s, due to the outbreak of the Korean War, the firm had to stop its activities. However, at the end of the war, textile production was expanded with the further construction of the largest woolen mill in the country.

Samsung was officially registered as an independent trademark in 1948. The Korean translation of the name has the designation "three stars".

In addition to the rapid expansion of the insurance industry and investments in securities and retail trade, Samsung was actively restoring the activities of the state, engaged in the development of industrialization.

The company began its development in the electronics industry in the 1960s, during which time a number of electronics development divisions were created. The city where the corporation's production resources were located was Suwon, where the country's best manufacturers began to produce black and white televisions. In the 1980s, telecommunications products began to be created, such as the landline telephone and, subsequently, popular models of mobile phones, as well as faxes. At the same time, there was an expansion of divisions in a number of European countries and the USA. The end of the decade was a period of division of the corporation's activities into four sectors - electronics, high-tech production, mechanical engineering and construction. It should also be noted that the activities of the technical department include the development and creation of aircraft engines and gas turbines, as well as component equipment for aircraft engines of international airlines.

In the early 1990s, production was reorganized again. Since that time, the leading industries have become electronic, mechanical engineering and chemical. Ten subsidiaries were sold out, and most of the staff was laid off.Investing in the development and creation of LCD panels made Samsung the world's best manufacturer of these products by the mid-2000s.

At present, the world-renowned corporation specializes mainly in mobile technologies, electronics and the sale of biopharmaceuticals in conjunction with Biogen.
