General |
Sun Metals Zinc Refinery, located near the City of Townsville in North
Queensland, Australia, is an outstanding example of a major value-adding,
export-oriented product that has brought ignificant economic and employment
benefits to the region and the nation. The refinery was built by Sun Metals
Corporation Pty Ltd, the Australian subsidiary of Korea Zinc Company Limited
which produces 10 per cent of the world's zinc from plants in Korea, the USA
and Australia. The project, which cost around US$425 million to build,
represents the largest single investment in Australia by a Korean company.
The fact that it was completed on schedule and to budget is indicative of
meticulous pre-planning and the excellent working relationships that
developed between the company, its suppliers and contractors.
In 1996, Korea Zinc founded Sun Metal Corporation Pty., Ltd., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Korea Zinc, in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, fulfilling
stringent environmental regulations. In terms of plant location, SMC has
several advantages such as the adjacency to Southeast Asian market, cheap
electricity cost, skilled labor, abundant raw materials, and direct and
indirect supports from Australian government. |
