In the safety and health field, there are "big league exhibitions" like the Olympics or world championships. One such exhibition, held every two years to realize "a safe workplace," is the world's largest industrial safety and health exhibition, "A+A 2023" in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Starting from October 24th, the exhibition, where over 2,000 companies worldwide showcase innovative products and undergo evaluations, attracts significant attention. Domestically, more than 50 "representative athletes" participate, engaging in a fierce marketing battle over the "Safe Korea" brand sale.
To commemorate the 8th anniversary, the online newspaper Safe Times has prepared a special series titled "Previewing A+A 2023." The editorial board visited selected outstanding companies to inspect their exhibited products. Safe Times also dispatches reporters to cover detailed news about the A+A exhibition. [Editor's Note]

■ JANG EUN FnC CO., LTD., Meeting of IT and Fashion to Create "Safe Workplace"
CEO Eun-jeong Jang of JANG EUN FnC CO., LTD., who makes "smartwear" combining IT and fashion, aged 51. The JANG EUN FnC CO., LTD. building in Bangbae-dong, Seoul, visited by Safe Times on the 18th, was impressive from the entrance.
The vase celebrating the expansion of the head office in Munjeong-dong last September caught the eye. Famous figures hoped for a 'crisis' in their new nest.
CEO Eun-jeong Jang started his career at Youngwon Trading in 1993, served as a design manager and executive director, and founded his company in 2018. He is known as a prominent figure in the design industry as a member who launched North Face domestically.
He majored in fashion at university, received a master's and doctoral degree in fashion arts, and has been active as an adjunct professor at Sungkyunkwan University, nurturing successors. He can be called a 'specialist' crossing academia and industry.
If you name the company after the CEO's name, it means that he has 'confidence' in it. The expectation did not go wrong.

◇ "Heated Vest" Sold Out Legend with Pad Separation Idea
Wearing a deep burgundy dress for the interview, the product made by a designer and professor raised some doubts and curiosity.
Everything was unexpected. He constantly crossed the boundaries of designer, engineer, and professor. The interview felt like watching a movie or attending a lecture, with a blend of confidence and philosophy.
The company he runs has refined the delicate 'fusion' of fashion, IT, and safety with 30 years of know-how and passion.
The reason for challenging the A+A 2023 stage after founding in 2018 was simple and clear. It was judged that they had enough ability to knock on the world stage beyond the Korean myth.
CEO Eun-jeong Jang will unveil at A+A a heated and ice product combined with IT. It's a challenge to the big league A+A after being verified on the domestic stage.
"There were heated vests in the market before. There were many products combining with IT. However, there was a disadvantage that the integrated pads had reduced safety after washing. If the function deteriorates after washing, can we call it a good product?"
A new concept of 'heated vest' was born from CEO Eun-jeong Jang's doubt. Through collaboration with KAIST researchers, the separated heating vest made its debut in the market.
CEO Eun-jeong Jang said, "There is no place in Korea where products with separated heating pads can be made other than JANG EUN FnC CO., LTD.," adding, "We have more than 10 intellectual property rights alone."
Separated pads were sufficient to hit it big in industrial sites where safety should be guaranteed even in extreme cold. After its release, the separated heating vest sets a record of being sold out every one or two months.
Along with CEO Eun-jeong Jang's detailed explanation, reporters carefully examined the heated vest. It was a vest that could elevate the dignity of workers in industrial and construction sites. Safety managers couldn't help but want to buy it. It was light, stylish, had good performance, and was affordable.
The reason Korea Consumer Agency evaluated JANG EUN FnC CO., LTD. products and other distributed heating products randomly collected and tested as 'excellent products' was apparent. The Korea Institute of Design Promotion also selected them as excellent industrial design products.
JANG EUN FnC CO., LTD., which caused a stir in the smartwear market combined with IT, unveils the '4th generation heated vest' launched in 2024 at A+A.
CEO Eun-jeong Jang said, "We solved the problem of whether heated products could be washed from a design perspective by developing a separated heating pad," adding, "It is a product designed with a differentiated three-panel heating pad combined with IT, allowing separate temperature control of the front and back panels after washing, and we even applied for international patents."

◇ 'Ice Vest' also Praised... Preparing for the Future with Research and Development Investment
The success of the heated vest was just the starting point to write another legend. Smartwear combined with IT evolved into an 'ice vest.'
As a leading company in ICT convergence design products, based on know-how and technological capabilities in developing heating products, they also developed ICT convergence cooling functional products. They supplied cooling vests for nurses to the Korea Nurses Association amid the COVID-19 pandemic. They hold intellectual property rights related to cooling functional clothing products and won the 2021 Korea Excellent Patent Award.
CEO Eun-jeong Jang said, "While making heating products, I also thought I could make something cold," adding, "I applied ice packs to the product, and the response was good, but the downside was that they didn't last long."
As ice packs upgraded to fans and air conditioning heating, JANG EUN FnC CO., LTD. developed a 'wearing air conditioner' to compensate for noise caused by wind. It is a principle of applying a heat exchanger using a peltier effect. They are applying for a patent and are on the verge of market launch.
JANG EUN FnC CO., LTD., which specializes in ODM and OEM, received great attention in the industrial safety field. They are accelerating the entry of medium-sized companies by supplying to companies like KT Safety and Black Yak. They are expanding their business lines to everyday wear, golf wear, and the recently launched 'Pifa.'
◇ Sincerely aspiring to become a leading company beyond ESG
The future of JANG EUN FnC CO.,LTD. can be glimpsed through its investment in technological research. Collaborating with prestigious domestic universities and prominent research institutes, the company is conducting innovative research projects. Additionally, it provides research and consulting services on the new business directions, including brand launching and renewal.
Moreover, as the issue of unchecked distribution of uncertified products from China continues to raise safety concerns domestically, JANG EUN FnC CO.,LTD. recognizes the necessity of certification in the emerging field of smart clothing. Since 2021, it has been actively proposing international standards for wearable electronic heating products in collaboration with the Korea Testing & Research Institute (KOTITI).
The company's prowess in smart clothing is gaining more recognition overseas. It has undertaken joint government development projects with Korea and Switzerland, focusing on research and development tasks such as brain signal-based motion induction recognition technology and soft robotic control technology.
CEO Eun-jeong Jang explained, "The joint development projects aim to enable people with disabilities or those requiring extra strength to move their arms or legs through sensors embedded in specially developed clothing." She further elaborated, "Data on which nerve to stimulate for arm movement is used as the basis. When individuals with disabilities wear the clothing, they can use it for telecommuting or rehabilitation."
With certification from Switzerland, JANG EUN FnC CO.,LTD. is poised to establish a joint venture company while commencing full-scale business operations in both Switzerland and South Korea in the near future.
ESG management is also prominent. CEO Eun-jeong Jang holds a doctoral degree in the corporate social responsibility (CSR) and creating social value (CSV) fields.
The company's management philosophy permeates throughout. Engaging in charitable activities with the Goodwill Store, contributing between 60 million to 100 million won annually, and actively participating in volunteer activities, all employees demonstrate a commitment to social responsibility.
"Though I write papers emphasizing corporate social responsibility and even lecture at universities, can we really manage with two faces?"
A sincere remark from CEO Eun-jeong Jang. The innovative safety initiatives of JANG EUN FnC CO.,LTD. will be closely watched to see what accolades they receive at A+A.
