The takeover battle for Korea’s largest home furnishing company is heating up.
With the entry of Korean retail giant, ЛХ Групп, the takeover competition for HANSSEM Home is intensifying. Ранее, Южнокорейский универмаг Shinsegae, Хюндай Ливарт, дочерняя компания универмага Hyundai, and Korea’s Lotte announced their intention to acquire HANSSEM in conjunction with South Korean private equity firm IMM PrivateEquity (ИММ), but with the addition of LXHausys, компания по производству строительных материалов, принадлежащая LX Group (когда-то часть LG), один из лучших в Корее 50 корпоративные группы, the takeover is expanding. The takeover camp is expanding.
If LX Hausys acquires HANSSEM, the number one company in the interior design and building materials industry, the landscape of the Korean building materials and interior design industry will be shaken up dramatically. The market share of the top players would be recalculated.
According to Korean media sources, LX Hausys held a board meeting on 6 September and announced that it would invest 300 миллиард вон (юаней 1.7 миллиард) as a strategic investor in a private equity fund that IMM plans to set up to acquire HANSSEM. Однако, окончательные инвестиции еще не подтверждены.
Лотте, Shinsegae and Hyundai Department Store Group have already announced their plans to participate in the acquisition. LX Hausys is considered to have the most competitive advantage given the synergies with HANSSEM’s business.
With the recent divestment of LX Group from LG Group, its business scope has been expanded from traditional building materials to the whole house. Building materials account for approximately 70% LX Hausys’ продажи, закрывая окна, двери, напольное покрытие, панели, artificial marble and more. The division recorded sales of KRW 659.6 billion in the second quarter of this year, вверх 25% год за годом. LX Hausys занимает самую большую долю рынка окон в сфере недвижимости в Корее.. It also has strength in high value-added product lines such as marble kitchen sinks and PF insulation.
HANSSEM has an overwhelming presence in the Korean retail market, having started with kitchen furniture in 1970 and then interior furniture in 1997, and has now expanded its business to include building materials such as bathrooms, окна и пол. It is currently the number one market player in Korea in kitchen furniture and interior furniture. Его основные дилеры, quality shops and the number of shops are the most important reasons for attracting the acquirer.
По сообщениям корейских СМИ, HANSSEM has showrooms and oversized experience centers in 15 key locations in the areas of Bangbae-dong, Сочо-гу, Seoul, Nunhyeon-dong, Каннамгу, Пангё-дон, Daegu and Hanam-si, Корея.

Несмотря на рост размеров, HANSSEM’s overseas subsidiaries have not been as successful. The sales growth rates of HANSSEM’s US and Chinese subsidiaries have also slowed down each year for the past three years. В прошлом году, sales of the two subsidiaries fell by 10.2% и 3.9% соответственно, while the Chinese subsidiary experienced a double-digit decline. The decline continued in the first and second quarters of this year as well with negative growth of 17.3% и 45.7%.
HANSSEM was already present in China in the early 1990s when it established Beijing HANSSEM Home Products Co Ltd and invested in a cabinet manufacturing plant in Beijing in 1995. It undertakes engineering business and has joined forces with headline companies in the pan-home furnishing industry to develop some engineering projects.
It was found that the shareholder of Beijing HANSSEM Home Products Co Ltd, Hanssem (Китай) Investment Co Ltd, had increased its registered capital in 2020, but this year Beijing HANSSEM Home Products Co Ltd had a succession of changes in legal representatives, режиссеры, shareholders and other members in February.
It is worth noting that earlier this year there have been media reports that most of the Korean executives of HANSSEM stationed in China have been withdrawn one after another in late 2018 и рано 2019. Some of the Chinese employees of Chinese origin are looking for their next homes, and some have even already found their next homes. They are only awaiting the arrival of significant redundancy compensation.
