Dongbu Construction's plant business is rapidly growing this year, emerging as a new growth driver. Sales in the first half of the year increased by over 50% compared to the same period last year, already achieving 78% of last year's annual performance.
According to Dongbu Construction's business report for the first half of 2026, plant sales reached 153.5 billion won, a 54.5% increase from 99.3 billion won in the same period last year. This is the highest sales growth rate among major construction sectors, including civil engineering and architecture.
Considering that last year's total plant sales were 196.7 billion won, the company has achieved approximately 78% of last year's annual performance in just the first half of this year.
The growth trend was particularly notable in the second quarter. Plant sales in the second quarter were about 82.8 billion won, more than double the 37.1 billion won recorded during the same period last year. Following first-quarter sales of approximately 70.7 billion won, the second quarter also saw an expansion in sales volume.
Currently, Dongbu Construction is engaged in industrial facility projects, including the expansion of Amkor Technology Korea's Songdo plant and the construction of SK Hynix's Yongin cluster cooperation facility. The company plans to expand its workforce in construction, administration, estimation, design, and project-related areas to support the growth of its plant business.
Meanwhile, as the construction industry responds to fluctuations in the housing market, the semiconductor and advanced industrial facility plants are gaining attention as new revenue sources for mid-sized construction firms.
