The SaeHaeSung expansion will include a newly constructed 72,000 square foot building with a 6,000 square foot administration building attached to it. It will be built in the City’s industrial park, near its current facility. SaeHaeSung will occupy the building through a 10 year lease-purchase agreement.

Mr. In-Tae Heo, the company’s owner, will invest an additional $10 million in equipment in the facility and the operation will be expanded from welding and shipping to include a stamping operation.
