The Korea Chlor Alkali Industry Association (KCAIA), founded in March 1984, held a ceremony to celebrate its 40th anniversary earlier this year (in February 2024). About 25 people, including former KCAIA Chairmen and Directors and officials of member companies, attended this ceremony. A video was played that looks at the origin of the Korean chlor-alkali industry, which included greetings from former and current Chairmen and executives. In addition, pamphlets outlining the history of the Korea chlor-alkali industry, were distributed to the member companies.
The Korean chlor-alkali industry began in 1958 with the operating of the first electrolyser with a capacity of 1.5 tonnes per day. Since then, it has played a role in supplying basic materials for industries such as textiles, petrochemicals, construction, automobiles, shipbuilding, and electronics for Korea’s remarkable economic growth. Since 2000, the Korean chlor-alkali industry has expanded and developed and is expected to continue to grow in the future in line with the development of industries such as new and renewable energy, AI, and electric vehicles.
