STAR 21

STAR 21 Co., Ltd. (주식회사 스타21) is a South Korean manufacturer of industrial hardware and component parts, headquartered in Busan. The company was founded in September 2000 in Saha-gu, Busan, initially producing press-formed and machined parts for switchgear, control panels, and similar electrical and mechanical equipment. Over the following two decades it expanded its product range and facilities, moving to larger premises in Saha-gu in 2003 and then to a new facility in Gangseo-gu, Busan in 2007 that added dedicated press, NC cutting, and assembly operations. A sales office was established in Siheung, Gyeonggi Province in 2006 to serve customers in the Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Gangwon regions. STAR 21's product catalogue includes handles, fasteners, hinges, accessories, mounting plates, latch bars, eye bolts, stays, screw bolts, knobs, catches, packing, supports and bars, posts, casters, and marine structural materials. These components are used in electrical panels, machinery, medical equipment, and other industrial applications. The company emphasises flexible manufacturing, offering small-lot orders and short lead times alongside mass production of diverse product types, supported by links to overseas factories. In July 2010, STAR 21 was registered as a first-tier supplier to Hyundai Heavy Industries and reported direct transactions with approximately 1,500 companies nationwide, supplying parts for both onshore and offshore electrical panels. The same month it obtained ISO 9001:2008 quality management and ISO 14001:2004 environmental management certifications. The company also states it has addressed the EU RoHS directive and obtained ISO 14001 environmental management system certification in March 2010. STAR 21 operates a bilingual website (Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese) and maintains a corporate membership system for business customers. Its CEO is Lee Kang-woong (이강웅). The company remains privately held and active as of the latest available information.

STAR 21 Co., Ltd. was established in September 2000 in Saha-gu, Sinpyeong, Busan, as a manufacturer of press-formed and machined parts, primarily for switchgear and control panels. From the outset the company combined in-house production with direct sales, using its own equipment to handle diverse customer specifications and selling nationwide. In March 2003, as the variety of products and customer-specific machined parts increased, STAR 21 relocated to Jangnim, Saha-gu, Busan, adding machining equipment and expanding the factory to support nationwide sales. In April 2006, the company established a sales office in Siheung, Gyeonggi Province (the Gyeonggi/Siheung sales office) to strengthen customer support in the Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Gangwon regions. In March 2007, STAR 21 moved to a new location in Sinho-dong, Gangseo-gu, Busan. The new facility included a dedicated office building, a press processing plant, an NC cutting plant, and assembly and warehouse operations, with the latest equipment introduced to enable a wider range of fabricated products and high-quality product management. In July 2010, STAR 21 was formally registered as a first-tier supplier to Hyundai Heavy Industries. The company also reported direct transactions with approximately 1,500 companies across the country, supplying components for both onshore and offshore electrical panels. In the same month, it obtained ISO 9001:2008 (quality management system) and ISO 14001:2004 (environmental management system) certifications, committing to continuous implementation and improvement of quality and management systems. The company also states it obtained ISO 14001 environmental management system certification in March 2010 and has responded to the EU RoHS directive by setting strict internal environmental standards. STAR 21's product range has grown to include handles, fasteners, hinges, accessories, mounting plates, latch bars, eye bolts, stays, screw bolts, knobs, catches, packing, supports and bars, posts, casters, and marine structural materials. These serve electrical, mechanical, medical, and other industrial equipment sectors. The company emphasises a consistent system from product development and manufacturing through supply, aiming to provide high-quality, short-lead-time, appropriately priced products. It also maintains an environmental policy focused on resource conservation, recycling, waste management, energy saving, and the supply of eco-friendly products. As of the latest available information, STAR 21 remains a privately held company headquartered in Busan, with CEO Lee Kang-woong. Its website supports Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese, and it operates a corporate membership programme for business customers.
