Daewoo International Corporation
 PROFILE
Its predecessor was created in 1967 to sell nylon to Southeast Asia, but Daewoo International has stretched beyond that business to become one of South Korea's leading international trading companies. Trading primarily in chemicals, textiles, metals, and steel, Daewoo International was formed in 2000 when Daewoo Corporation, once the flagship of the now-defunct Daewoo Group, split into three companies. Daewoo International took on Daewoo Corporation's trading business. Since then Daewoo International has drastically trimmed its workforce, overseas operations, and joint ventures.
