Technology History | SK Hynix — Hyundai Electronics on the Icheon Lot
kevin
People treat SK Hynix as a memory campus that arrived already wearing an SK badge.
The first chip works that became Hynix sat here, at what is now 2091 Gyeongchung-daero in Bubal-eup, Icheon, when Chung Ju-yung opened Hyundai Electronics Industries on 26 February 1983.
Chung wanted semiconductors for the car business. Ground was broken in Icheon that October, weeks after Samsung's own line. Assembly and test followed on the same park in 1985.
The legal shell was older: Gukdo Construction, dated 15 October 1949, was renamed Hyundai Electronics in February 1983. The firm became Hynix Semiconductor in 2001 and SK Hynix in 2012 after SK Group took control.
The Icheon campus is still the headquarters. Cheongju and the China fabs came later. High-bandwidth memory is made on ground that started as a Hyundai electronics lot.
What remains is a working plant on the Gyeongchung highway, not a reconstructed shed. The first room was the 1983 entry into chips.
