Klin Korea history
Klin Korea is part of Hyuk Sung Corporation, which owns a larger set of companies with their own products. Very little is known about the history of Klin Korea. Some sources mention they where founded in 1990, starting out with general cleaning supplies. The current range is much greater and with products being sold in America, Europe en several other places, the brand has an almost worldwide reach.
Klin Korea products
Klin Korea puts a lot of focus on developing microfiber products. The current range is mostly divided by household product, janitorial products, industrial products and car care products. There is no clear indication which towels are exclusively made for car care, partly because the packaging for al ranges is almost identical. One of the most popular products is the Drying Duo Large drying towel. A twister-fiber fabric made from a double layer, 90 cm x 70 cm microfiber that is able to completely dry a full sized car.
Company information
Hyuk Sung Corporation doesn’t have it’s own website, but Klin Korea used to have its own company website. Unofrtunately, this website has been “under construction” since early 2020. The company and their products have been mentioned a fair few times on message boards and fora and can often be seen at detailing events or meeting, where the brand is repesented by a reseller of distributor. The company is not very active on social media and is known to be extremely difficult to contact.
