DAEJEON — Samjin E&I, a water industry specialist and member of the Daejeon Chamber of Commerce and Industry, has received a presidential citation for its contributions to exporting innovative products and opening overseas markets.

The company said on the 1st that it received the presidential citation in the innovative product export category at a ceremony marking the 6th Procurement Day, held Sept. 30 at the Daejeon Convention Center.

Founded in 1991 as Samjin Precision, Samjin E&I grew on the strength of manufacturing valves for water and sewage systems and has since expanded into water purification and sewage treatment facilities as well as smart water management. The company is pursuing technology development and demonstration projects with Korea Water Resources Corporation and continues to expand abroad, including exports of sewage treatment facilities to the Philippines.

The company has also focused on ESG management, improving its management framework through an ESG capacity-building support program and obtaining a certificate recognizing it as an outstanding small and medium-sized enterprise in ESG.

"We will continue to work on diversifying our exports so that our water technology can be used at more overseas sites," said Lee Jung-yeon, domestic sales director at Samjin E&I.
