Equipped with advanced technological capabilities and a stable supply of raw materials, HD Hyundai OCI is strengthening its position as a global carbon black manufacturer committed to delivering premium products. We have the capacity to produce 150,000 tons of carbon black annually, which we supply to domestic and overseas tire manufacturers and MRG customers. As the anchor of our BTX business, our Gwangyang plant utilizes light crude oil—a byproduct of steel manufacturing—as feedstock, producing benzene, toluene, xylene, and related byproducts through a distillation process.
