Hanwha Aerospace: K-Defense Export Champion Entering the Space Age
Hanwha Aerospace's defense exports have surged 200%. Now it's expanding into space and satellite markets.
Hanwha Aerospace has transformed from a mid-tier Korean defense company into a global defense export powerhouse. The K9 self-propelled howitzer has become the weapon of choice for NATO countries seeking to rebuild their artillery capabilities.
Poland's $14 billion order for K9s, Chunmoo rocket launchers, and K2 tanks was the largest Korean defense export deal in history. Romania, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt have followed with their own orders.
Beyond traditional defense, Hanwha is making bold moves into space. The acquisition of satellite companies and development of space launch vehicles positions Hanwha as Korea's answer to Lockheed Martin - a diversified aerospace and defense conglomerate.
Revenue growth of 30%+ is rare in defense stocks globally. Combined with Korea's geopolitical positioning and competitive pricing, Hanwha Aerospace has a multi-year growth runway.
