Kichul Kim Appointed as New CEO of Hanwha Vision

Hanwha Vision today announced the appointment of Kichul Kim, previously Chief Strategy Officer, as its new Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Kim brings extensive experience to the role, having been with the Hanwha Group since 1995. His career includes key positions across the organization, including roles within Hanwha Group’s Planning Office and Business Audit Team, leading Hanwha Vision’s Management Planning Team, serving as President of Hanwha Vision America, as Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Hanwha Vision, and most recently, as Chief Strategy Officer of Hanwha Vision.

Recognized as a leading strategic mind within the Hanwha Group, Mr. Kim has consistently delivered strong results in both strategic planning and sales and marketing. Notably, his five-year tenure as President of Hanwha Vision America in the United States, a critical market for the company, saw significant expansion of the company’s global market share. His strategic approach and robust global network were instrumental in establishing Hanwha Vision’s current global presence.

With nearly three decades of diverse experience, Mr. Kim is well positioned to drive Hanwha Vision’s market competitiveness further. The company is currently focused on expanding its suite of customized services, including the innovative ‘AI Packs,’ designed for a wide range of industrial applications in manufacturing, retail, and beyond. This focus on advanced security solutions will continue to fuel Hanwha Vision’s global growth.

In addition to his role at Hanwha Vision, Mr. Kim will also assume the CEO position at its subsidiary, Hanwha Semitech. Hanwha Semitech, which recently achieved mass production of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) TC bonders and joined the NVIDIA supply chain, will prioritize strengthening its global market position. Mr. Kim’s dual leadership is expected to foster significant technological synergy between the two companies.

“Despite intensifying global competition, we are committed to leading the market with our unique technological capabilities,” said Mr. Kim. “We will focus on enhancing the competitiveness of our core business areas and actively pursuing new growth opportunities.”
