ADM Global in Korea brought together key automotive industry partners: it held its first supplier seminar.

From October 27 to 29, 2025, the ADM Global group of companies, one of the country's largest auto holdings, organized the international 2025 Supplier Board Workshop, which was held in the Republic of Korea and attended by the management of Kia Corporation. The event was also attended by more than 80 executives and representatives from 13 Korean auto component manufacturers and 17 localization enterprises in Uzbekistan.

The seminar was ADM Global's first international event of this format, bringing together current and potential auto component supplier partners. Its goal is to establish closer cooperation, exchange practical experience, and discuss new opportunities for joint projects in the localization of automotive components.

During the seminar, participants discussed key development areas, including:

• expanding cooperation between Uzbek and Korean manufacturers;
• new prospects for joint investment in Uzbekistan;
• increasing production capacity and further localization of components;
• improving process quality and optimizing supply chains;
• Hyundai and Kia practices in working with partners.

ADM Global presented plans to further expand localization and develop manufacturing clusters in Uzbekistan. Negotiations with current and potential suppliers were also held to discuss new areas of cooperation and opportunities for technological development.

As part of the Supplier Board Workshop, ADM Global held an awards ceremony recognizing companies that have made significant contributions to the development of localization and supply chain sustainability.

Kia Corporation received a special Global Impact Award for expanding its presence and supporting the international growth of Uzbekistan's automotive industry.

The workshop marked an important step in strengthening ADM Global's long-term partnership with Kia Corporation, as well as with Korean and Uzbek automotive parts and components manufacturers. During the event, participants agreed to launch new joint projects and attract additional investment, which will contribute to the further development of the industry. This format will be continued and expanded in 2026.

ADM Global emphasized that such events are key to developing the industry and enhancing Uzbekistan's role in the regional automotive component supply chain.

Furthermore, a delegation from the ADM Global group of companies participated in the 2025 World Amateur Golfers Championship, which took place from October 31 to November 8 on Jeju Island in the Republic of Korea. It brought together the world's top golfers, demonstrating their commitment to being part of both important industry and sporting events.
