Three dates shape the story
In January 2026, Taihan secured a U.S. extra-high-voltage turnkey project valued at KRW 100 billion, according to the company's October release. On October 15, its U.S. subsidiary won another project, with a KRW 120 billion materials supply agreement, Taihan Cable & Solution said. On October 21, Kim became CEO after leading work connected with Hoban Group's 2021 acquisition of Taihan, making leadership the latest strategic signal.
What does Kim's strategy change?
Kim's priorities are the United States and Europe, alongside high-voltage direct current and submarine cables. The Korea Herald said he also aims to improve manufacturing capabilities, project execution and operating efficiency, linking recent investment to future earnings growth, The Korea Herald reported on October 21.
Results provide the operating baseline
Taihan's second-quarter 2026 consolidated revenue was KRW 1.2 trillion, up 30.8 percent year over year, while operating profit reached KRW 60.8 billion.
