From its beginnings under the name of Hyundai Precision Industry in 1977, MOBIS went on to become the world’s top container producer. After turning its focus to the automobile sector, in the 1990s MOBIS produced recreational vehicles like the Galloper and Santamo to create the “Galloper Legend”.

Going through the financial crisis in the late 1990s, MOBIS redesigned itself as an auto parts specialist.

Hyundai Precision started to produce and supply chassis modules for Hyundai Motor and took the after-sales service parts businesses from both Hyundai and Kia motors in late 1999, and the company was renamed as MOBIS, kicking off the new millennium. 2000 was the year that MOBIS not only changed its name, but also became the biggest automotive parts company in charge of after-sales service parts distribution, auto parts export and module manufacturing.

Against this backdrop, another adventure is awaiting MOBIS, as the company merged with Hyundai Autonet in 2009. The future technologies for automobiles need a systematic integration of both mechanical and electronic parts and MOBIS is now prepared to take on the future.

As a leader in the auto parts sector in Korea, MOBIS will take the next jump to reach the goal of becoming a ‘Global Top 5.

MOBIS is building the foundation as a global auto parts expert through its commitment to after-sales service parts, module and core parts manufacturing, and parts export around the globe.

Since the first chassis modules in October, 1999, MOBIS has been supplying modules for most of Hyundai and Kia car models. The beauty of module manufacturing business, without a doubt, comes from design. In order to bring the best design into a car model, MOBIS has been pushing hard to secure the best technologies for module parts production based on its own independent research and development, as well as technological partnerships with global players. The advanced airbag, ABS and ESC systems promise the drivers’ safety and happiness; and MOBIS is playing a big part boosting a competitive edge for overall auto parts industry in Korea.

As the next generation car models are developing around electronics area, MOBIS is concentrating its core competency on securing car-electronic technologies. By expanding the company’s proprietary technology into core parts for hybrid models and multimedia devices, MOBIS is gaining more competence in the automotive industry.

The after-sales service parts business, due to the very nature of the business, is related to the units in operation (UIO). There are roughly 30 million cars from Hyundai and Kia in operation altogether and this revenue-base for MOBIS is stable even during any recession.

Another big focus for MOBIS is placed on auto parts export business. Korean parts are very competitive in the market since the quality has been greatly improved recently, but the price is still reasonable when compared to that of the parts makers around the world. MOBIS is also setting the foundation for the advancement of Korean parts makers, expanding export markets by helping them go into overseas businesses and participate in parts tech exhibitions globally.Through such tremendous efforts, MOBIS will become one of the ‘Global Top 5s’, as a leading parts manufacturer in Korea and beyond.
