Founded in 1941, Hankook Tire was the first tire manufacturer in Korea. It provides radial tires for passenger cars, light trucks (including SUVs and RVs), commercial trucks, buses, and professional racing vehicles.

Hankook operates five R&D centers worldwide. The Hankook Tire Tower, located in Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, serves as the company's main headquarters office building.

The building has a total floor area of 47,934 square meters, with six underground levels and ten floors above ground. A grand opening ceremony is scheduled for mid-May 2020.
