DAEA TI looks to global market for train control system
(by KoreaHerald)
DAEA TI Co., Ltd., Korea’s undisputable leader in train control systems, is stepping up its strides into the global market, cashing in on a vastly growing demand for rail transport especially in emerging economies.
The venture firm, established in 1996, specializes in the centralized train control system based on real-time communications technologies. The company virtually monopolized the domestic market with its system used as nation’s major rolling stock.
Global demand for rail transport is sharply increasing as China, Brazil, the U.S. and countries in Asia and Africa are investing in building high-speed railway systems, a viable, environmentally friendly alternative to cars and airplanes.
Korea, which has built one of the world’s safest and most efficient bullet trains, is now selling its technologies to emerging countries.
DAEA TI ’s CTC is an integral part of the advanced rail systems. It is also used to upgrade the conventional train systems thus improving safety and maximizing operation efficiency without the need to build new lines.
Choi Jin-woo, CEO of DAEA TI, poses in front of the company’s train control monitoring system in his office in Bucheon,
“Though other major firms participate in the signal control business, we’re virtually the sole domestic
company that’s wholly specialized in it,” said CEO Choi Jin-woo.
“We have a total solution in terms of controlling train signals,” Choi said. “We provide everything -- design, manufacturing, engineering, installation, training, testing, repair and maintenance. This is hard to find in the existing commercial market.”
In less than 15 years since the foundation, the company’s market share reaches top in the industry, replacing imported equipment with technology of its developing.
Since listed on the KOSDAQ in 2007, the company has also financially grown fast. It entered the top-100 KOSDAQ Premier Index this May.
“Being listed on the KOSDAQ helps us to maintain reliability and value as a business,” Choi said. “Especially small and medium size businesses like us need to build up a good reputation so foreign investors don’t have to worry about risks when they consider working with us.”
In 2009, DAEA TI’s total sales were nearly 64.65 billion won ($52.58 million), surging about 48 percent on a year-on-year basis. This year, its sales revenue is expected to increase about 20 percent to 78 billion won.
Constructions of operations control centers for the Busan Subway Line 4, New Bundang Line, Jeolla Line and Busan-Gimhae Light Rail brought the company good sales results, Choi added.
The CEO’s devotion to the train business for 33 years dates back to his school days. After graduating Railroad High School (currently Korea Railroad College) in 1980, Choi worked at the Korean Railroad for six years as an engineer. He was introduced to the centralized train control system there, and learned more about it at Goldstar Industrial Systems Co., Ltd. (later changed to current LS Industrial Systems) for several years, which now is one of his competitors.
And now is the time for the rail industry to reemerge, he said, as low-carbon green growth has been emphasized worldwide.
“It’s never been in the spotlight in 100 years,” Choi said. “It’s called B2G -- Business to Government -- the industry is getting support from all sectors including government, academia and citizens.”
He called on the nation to step up its preparation to better cope with the rail renaissance.
“We need more investment,” he said. “Rail is above any other transportation methods in the long term. It contributes to local economic development by allowing access to the areas and creating jobs, and reduces negative environmental impacts.”
Countries maintaining strong rail industries such as France, Germany and Japan have recognized railways as a cost-efficient transportation method regarding waiting time in traffic jams and environmental impact. As a result, they have pursued high-speed rails, advancing their train manufacturing technologies.
For instance, the German railway system recently introduced a plan to build 15 high-tech trains of the new model ICE 3 to undertake journeys abroad within Europe, according to Spiegel Online, a popular news outlet in Germany.
China, operating the world’s largest high-speed rail network, has ordered 60 high-speed trains from Siemens, a German engineering giant, according to the company.
A number of Korean rail companies have jumped into some international projects. Earlier this year, Brazil announced open bids for its high-speed train construction. The $20 billion plan aims to build 510 kilometer high-speed railway to connect Rio de Janeiro with Sao Paulo and Campinas, in preparation for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Korean companies including state-run railway operator Korail and Korea Rail Network Authority, high-speed train manufacturer Hyundai Rotem and Hyundai Heavy Industries are bidding for one of the industry’s most lucrative contracts, competing with six other consortiums from China, Japan, Italy, Germany, France and Spain.
DAEA TI is also planning to expand its market overseas to be a strong global competitor in the train signal control industry, Choi added.
The company has already penetrated a few heavy maintenance and remodeling projects with Malaysia.
“Our targets are Southeast Asia and Africa,” he said. “To jump up in the international market, it’s essential to break new ground. But it has to be for the long term, and constant marketing is critical.”
