| Since its establishment in 1972 as Cheil Synthetics Inc., Woongjin Chemical has led the development of the domestic synthetic fiber industry. It has focused on developing value added fiber materials with the comprehensive production system which linked its polyester business and textile business while advancing to overseas markets and diversifying its businesses, helping Woongjin Chemical grow further. |

| Woongjin Chemical expanded its business horizon to environmental materials including the filter base on reverse osmosis membranes and also to package and industrial sheets building on polyester fiber technology. Recently, the high value-added electronic materials business was the focus with LCD diffuser plate and prism sheet based on polyester sheet technology. Building on all these achievements, Woongjin Chemical is now a comprehensive chemical and material company with fibers, textiles, filters and materials businesses.

| The first step to achieve this goal is to develop into a global chemical and material company, which enables us to provide services to more customers in a larger market. We will strengthen the existing businesses including polyester filaments, polyester staple fibers, textiles, filters and sheets. We will also expand our business into materials used for information technology, the environment and alternative energy while giving emphasis to becoming a global business.
