“With our office in Warsaw, we now have a direct representation in Poland and thus the opportunity to work more closely with our local customers and partners. Although Poland is an extremely competitive market, Hankook already sees a high demand for our high quality tyres and we are confident that we will be able to continously increase our awareness.” adds Jeong-Seung Ham, Managing Director, Hankook Tire Poland.
