YJ Link received Daegu Mayor’s Award

“The world’s major companies that make parts for electric vehicles only use products produced by companies registered with them. Depending on the major companies, the registration cycle is set at 5years, 3years, or 2 years, but it is difficult to register with them without steady research and development due to strict screening. I think the reason why our company has been able to grow so far is because we put in our efforts to continuous research and development.”
