Aging population to drive down Korea's housing prices from 2040: experts
Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., a major shipyard here, said Friday that it plans to spin off its IT business unit next year in an effort to streamline its business structure.
The unit, tentatively named DSME Information System, will be launched on Jan. 1, the shipbuilder said. The company will manage Daewoo Shipbuilding's IT system and related tasks with some 150 employees, it said.
The planned spinoff is part of the shipyard's restructuring schemes which include asset sales and a reduction in workforce.
Last month, Daewoo Shipbuilding said it would secure an additional 700 billion won through asset sales, raising the total amount prepared as part of its self-rescue measures to 6 trillion won.
The shipyard aims to reduce the number of its employees by some 20 percent to 10,000 by the end of this year.
