In recent years, Korean EPC contractors have been aggressively targeting the electric power market, particularly in emerging countries. In 2008, Yokogawa Electric Korea established a power plant department that focuses on the power sector, and has been steadily building sales in this market. By expanding its sales in South Korea and accelerating its power plant control business mainly in emerging countries, Yokogawa will grow its power business, which is one of the strategic areas that the company is targeting under its Evolution 2015 mid-term business plan.
