Overview
UNITUS Co., Ltd. (Korean: 유니투스) is a South Korean automotive components manufacturer and a member of the Hyundai Motor Group. It was established on 14 November 2022 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyundai Mobis, the group's parts and module arm, and was created to consolidate and specialize the group's module and component production. The company's name is a portmanteau of 'Unit' — referring to the constituent units of an organism and to component technology — and the French word 'Tous' (all/together), expressing a goal of combining innovative manufacturing technology with an integrated corporate culture. UNITUS supplies finished-vehicle makers with four main product families. Its electrification parts include hybrid (HEV) motors, power conversion components such as the PCU (Power Control Unit), ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) and OBC (On Board Charger), and the PE system that drives electric vehicles. Its lamp products cover headlamps and rear lamps that shape a vehicle's exterior appearance and provide visual information to drivers and other road users. Its safety products include various airbags that restrain passengers in a collision and help prevent fatalities and reduce injuries. Its electronic braking products, including MEB and iMEB, are designed to deliver optimal safety for driving conditions, fast response, shorter braking distances and strong regenerative braking performance. The company operates a head office in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, and manufacturing sites that include Chungju Plant 1 and 2, Gimcheon Plant 1 and 2, Pyeongtaek Plant and Cheonan Plant. Its stated brand vision is 'companionship for safety and innovation', and its corporate goal is to build in-house manufacturing expertise for sustainable growth, improve agility and market responsiveness through manufacturing technology and quality stabilization, and lead the future mobility industry by strengthening business capabilities and smartening work processes. Its core values are Customer, Challenge, Collaboration, People and Globality. As a Hyundai Motor Group parts affiliate, UNITUS positions itself as a 'production center' responsible for automotive component manufacturing, prioritizing safe and healthy workplaces and timely supply of high-quality products. It also pursues sustainability, including carbon-neutral activities and a RE100 campaign targeting a transition to 100% renewable electricity across all business sites by 2040. The company is led by CEO Moon Hong-ki (문홍기).
History
UNITUS was officially launched on 14 November 2022 as a dedicated parts manufacturing company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyundai Mobis, itself the parts and module arm of Hyundai Motor Group. The creation of UNITUS was intended to consolidate Hyundai Mobis's module and component production into an integrated affiliate focused on manufacturing. According to the company's CEO greeting, UNITUS was established as a 'parts manufacturing specialist company' under Hyundai Mobis and produces key eco-friendly vehicle components — motors, controllers and PE systems — as well as lamps, airbags and electronic braking parts for supply to finished-vehicle makers. The company's name reflects its founding intent: 'Unit' refers to the constituent unit of an organism and to component technology, while 'Tous' is French for 'all' or 'integrated'. Together the name expresses the aim of securing innovative manufacturing technology capabilities while pursuing an integrated corporate culture. From its launch, UNITUS has organized its business around four product pillars: electrification parts, lamp parts, safety parts and electronic braking parts. Its electrification portfolio covers hybrid (HEV) motors, power conversion components such as the PCU, ICCU and OBC, and the PE system that drives electric vehicles. Its lamp business produces headlamps and rear lamps; its safety business produces airbags; and its electronic braking business produces MEB and iMEB systems. The company operates a head office in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, and manufacturing sites including Chungju Plant 1 and 2, Gimcheon Plant 1 and 2, Pyeongtaek Plant and Cheonan Plant. Its stated corporate goals are to build in-house manufacturing expertise for sustainable development, to improve agility and market responsiveness through manufacturing technology and quality stabilization, and to lead the future mobility industry by strengthening business capabilities and smartening work processes. Its brand vision is 'companionship for safety and innovation', and its core values are Customer, Challenge, Collaboration, People and Globality. UNITUS also emphasizes sustainability and social responsibility. It states that it sets annual carbon-neutral targets and is pursuing a RE100 campaign to convert 100% of electricity consumption at all business sites to renewable energy by 2040. Its PR center reports community donation and volunteer activities by its Pyeongtaek, Gimcheon, Chungju and Cheonan plants. The company is led by CEO Moon Hong-ki (문홍기).
