Rolls-Royce powers over 300 aircraft in Korea, with over 500 engines in service with Korean Air, Asiana, Government agencies and all three of Korea's armed forces.
Rolls-Royce AG9140RF gas turbines are currently
being built under licence by Samsung Techwin
for the Korean Navy's KDX-III Aegis destroyer.
In 2006, Rolls-Royce delivered three gas
turbine generator sets to the first Republic
of Korea Navy KDX III destroyer. Rolls-Royce
waterjets, propellers , gear boxes, machinery
control systems and ship lifts are also
in or coming into service with the Korean
Navy, maritime police and coastguard agencies.
Rolls-Royce Group's office is in Seoul. The marine equipment facility at Busan, wholly owned by Rolls-Royce, has more than 80 employees, and supplies both Korean and Japanese shipbuilding companies.
Rolls-Royce also supplies gas turbines to Korean-built oil and gas exploration and production facilities for offshore owners and Korean petrochemical plants.
Rolls-Royce is seeking to make Korea its long term partner for both the Korean and worldwide markets. Co-production in Korea in partnership with Korean industry is Rolls-Royce's preferred mechanism for its business operations in Korea.
Samsung Techwin is the sole supplier of
combustor modules for Rolls-Royce Trent
900 engines for the Airbus A380 under
a long-term agreement signed in 2001.
It was won against strong competition
from Japan and it is the first time that
this core technology has been transferred
outside Rolls-Royce.
Rolls-Royce has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Pusan National University and Busan Metropolitan Government, for collaboration in the field of heat exchangers for aerospace, marine and energy sectors.
An intern programme for undergraduates from Pusan National University has been initiated, during which students spend six months at Rolls-Royce facilities.
