Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will host the “SB Sunbo Co., Ltd. Donation Ceremony for Emergency Safety and Security Service Vehicles” today (12th) at 2:30 p.m. in the Reception Room of City Hall, together with SB Sunbo Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “SB Sunbo”) and the Busan Community Chest of Korea (hereinafter “the Community Chest”).

Mayor Park Heong-joon, SB Sunbo Chairman Choi Geum-sik, and Community Chest Chairman Lee Soo-tae will attend the ceremony.

At the ceremony, SB Sunbo will donate KRW 170 million through the Community Chest. The donation will be used to provide ten vehicles to ten agencies performing the Emergency Safety and Security Service for responding to emergencies affecting seniors living alone, people with severe disabilities, and other vulnerable groups.

The Emergency Safety and Security Service installs digital safety devices in the homes of eligible seniors living alone, people with severe disabilities, and other service recipients, enabling real-time monitoring and providing emergency response services when signs of danger are detected.

The city has installed safety devices in 18,700 households of seniors living alone and people with severe disabilities to respond to emergencies among vulnerable populations. As of the end of last year (2024), the city supported a total of 1,836 dispatches of emergency managers in response to emergency calls.

SB Sunbo is a Busan-based specialized manufacturer of ship equipment and one of the city’s representative local enterprises. Initially founded in 1986 as Namyoung Industries, it changed its name to Sunbo Industries in 1996.

In July this year, the company officially launched as SB Sunbo Co., Ltd. by integrating Sunbo Industries and its four subsidiaries, declaring its vision to become a “global energy leader opening the future with eco-friendly technology.”

Its main business areas include ▲ standardization (modularization) of ship equipment assembly ▲ offshore facility (plant) projects ▲ eco-friendly energy solutions. In particular, the company has been gradually expanding its global market share in the field of standardized ship component assembly (module units) based on its outstanding technological capabilities. The standardized ship component assembly (module unit) field involves integrating various pieces of equipment, excluding the main engine, into a single system for installation in the ship’s engine room, enhancing efficiency.

In addition, SB Sunbo carries out various social contribution activities, such as ▲ employee-participation volunteer work including coal briquette sharing and side dish delivery ▲ scholarships and educational support for fostering domestic and international talent through the “Sunbo Lighthouse” program ▲ donations to assist local welfare institutions and disaster victims ▲ and support for building schools in developing countries.

Mayor Park said, “I expect that the donated vehicles will significantly enhance the on-site emergency response capabilities of the Emergency Safety and Security Service. Busan Metropolitan City will continue to strengthen proactive measures and do its utmost in emergency monitoring so that more seniors and people with disabilities can receive timely assistance without missing the golden hour.”
