Hanyang Mokjae Co., Ltd.

Incheon

About the company

Hanyang Mokjae was founded in 1982 by Master Carpenter Kim Jae-sung in Incheon. The company began as a small family operation specializing in traditional Korean wooden joinery for hanok houses. In 1997, the company expanded to include modern wood framing techniques while maintaining its traditional craftsmanship roots. Now in its second generation of family leadership, Kim's son Kim Min-ho serves as CEO while the founder maintains an advisory role. The company has grown to become one of the more respected medium-sized carpentry firms in the Seoul metropolitan area.

Values

Our company bridges traditional Korean woodworking wisdom with modern construction efficiency. We value precision, reliability, and maintaining traditional knowledge while embracing innovation. Safety is paramount in our operations—we conduct weekly safety meetings and require certification beyond the minimum requirements for all workers who operate power equipment. All employees must complete KOSHA safety training, and we've implemented a comprehensive dust extraction system to protect respiratory health. Our safety record has been exemplary with zero serious incidents in the past five years.

Workshop

Hanyang Mokjae operates from a 1,200 square meter facility in Incheon's industrial district. The main workshop is divided into two distinct sections: one dedicated to modern framing preparation with automated cutting stations and assembly tables, and another for traditional joinery work featuring specialized workbenches for hand-crafting traditional connections. Large overhead doors allow for easy loading of materials and prefabricated components onto their fleet of delivery trucks. The facility includes a climate-controlled room for wood storage to maintain optimal moisture levels for different wood species. A separate design office equipped with advanced computers running CAD and BIM software connects directly to the production floor.

Buying behavior

We invest in high-quality tools that last. I'd rather spend 30% more on a tool that will serve us reliably for a decade than save money upfront and face delays due to equipment failure. Our reputation depends on precision and efficiency.
