Samsung

Samsung is one of the world’s largest and most influential technology conglomerates, headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. Known globally for its innovations in electronics, semiconductors, smartphones, home appliances, and digital solutions, Samsung has established itself as a household name and a leader in multiple industries. The company’s diverse portfolio and commitment to cutting-edge technology have made it a symbol of South Korea’s rapid industrial and economic growth, often described as the "engine" behind the nation’s rise as a global technology powerhouse.

Samsung was founded in 1938 by Lee Byung-chul as a trading company that dealt with groceries, dried fish, and noodles. Over the decades, the company diversified into textiles, insurance, securities, and retail. The turning point came in the late 1960s, when Samsung entered the electronics industry, which has since become its largest and most profitable sector.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Samsung focused heavily on electronics, semiconductors, and telecommunications, emerging as a global competitor. By the early 2000s, it had established itself as one of the top technology brands worldwide. Today, Samsung operates as a multinational conglomerate with subsidiaries spanning electronics, heavy industries, construction, shipbuilding, finance, and biopharmaceuticals.
