11 Structural Readjustment 1. Changes of Structural Reform - Production capacity increased strongly until mid- 90s - Structural reforms became the chance to be a global company as a result of overcoming the foreign current crisis in 97 - After a large scale structural reforms, companies are continuously pursuing 00 vs 05 Change Rate < Index of Korea Chemical Fiber Industry > Capacity 32.2% Production 37.0% Number of company 25.0% Employees 68.0% Slide 11/17

12 Structural Readjustment 2. Overseas Investment Country China Indonesia Thailand Number of Company Items Spandex, Tire cord, Airbag, /PSF etc. Nylon Tire cord 3. Selection and Expansion of business strategy - IT, Electrical, Environmental Materials (LCD, EL Film etc.) - New materials of Chemical Fiber (Aramid, PLA, PTT, dyable PP) - New composite & applied materials (Multi functional fiber etc.) Slide 12/17

13 Development Measures of Chemical Fiber Industry 1. Policy and Strategies for Textile Industries - Industrial Innovation Strategies for 2015 ᆞPreparing for production base of Industrial Fibers ᆞEstablishing IT environment for Textiles & Clothing Industries ᆞStrengthening competitiveness of Design and Brand ᆞInnovation of production structure for Textiles & Clothing - Strategy for Structural Innovation of Textile Industries - Framing the Roadmap of Textile technology Slide 13/17

14 Development Measures of Chemical Fiber Industry 2. Reengineering of Chemical fiber production structure < Directions for Restructuring > - Development / Production of differentiated products - Remove uncompetitive facilities - Cutting expenses & Raising efficiency of production - Focus on non-apparel business Slide 14/17

15 Development Measures of Chemical Fiber Industry 3. Developing Technology - Technology & Products by Selection & Concentration - New materials for profitability with IT, BT, ET, NT 4. Reinforcement of Global Marketing Strategy - Enhancement of Brand & Design - More participation of International Exhibition - Active responded to trade changes Slide 15/17

16 Conclusion 1. Factors of Aggravating Business Environment - Continuing global imbalance between Demand & Supply - Lower profitability due to production cost upward - Intensified trade restriction by fierce competition 2. Market situation is changing - Free trade through pursuit of FTAs - Creating new demand & seeking niche markets 3. Strengthening competitiveness - Developing high-value value-added added products - Continuing structural reform - Intensifying R & D for core business sector Slide 16/17
