Technodome plays a central role in developing original technology with a focus on fundamental research and pioneering the advancement of new future technology.
Technodome further engages in close cooperation with our technical centers in North America, Europe, China and Japan to proactively implement our glocalization (globalization + Localization) R&D strategy.
Technodome is a high-tech research facility that integrates all our tire technologies, and serves as the epitome of excellence in our technological prowess. Our relentless pursuit of research leads to the development of best-in-class performance tires that usher in the era of future mobility.
Great source materials make exceptional tires.
Creating just a single tire requires more than 100 different kinds of raw materials, with rubber being its most basic. All these numerous materials undergo a battery of basic research initiatives and component testing to ultimately produce safe tires.
Compounds created from intensive core research as well as rubber are tested to understand their physical properties and characteristics. A wide range of developments and tests are performed to maximize the performance of compounds which constitute the main material of tires, and a variety of additives are analyzed for their chemical structure.
Finished tire products, resulting from our relentless research pursuits, are tested meticulously. The data generated as such is used to conduct a variety of additional tests.
Backed by our high-tech technology, we present varying solutions for future driving. We lead the market in our ability to edge ahead in the shifting automotive industry landscape.
Tires must deliver optimal performance in every circumstance. This is why we reenact a number of possible scenarios with different road surfaces and weather conditions across a number of countries.
Proactive Culture embodies Hankook Tire’s distinctive corporate culture that inspires us all to become proactive and innovative agents of work. Technodome is our high-tech research center that drives our culture to reach new heights.
Technodome is Korea’s first and only R&D center working to achieve green certification. From site selection to design and even construction, the entire process was driven by environmental considerations every step of the way. We go beyond tire R&D to create green value and lead the world into a sustainable future.
