History
[edit | edit source]
Halla Group was founded as Hyundai International, Inc. in 1962.[2] The Halla name was first used in 1978 as the name of a cement company.[3] The name Halla is taken from Mount Halla, a mountain on Jeju Island.
Halla collapsed in 1997 during the 1997 Asian financial crisis.[4]
In 2008 Halla repurchased Mando, a car company they sold during the financial crisis.[3] The chaebol also sponsors multiple hockey teams, mainly Anyang Halla in the Asia League Ice Hockey and Kiekko-Vantaa in the Finnish Mestis.
