In the morning of the 12th, YU (President CHOI Oe-chool) selected Bae Jin-beom, CEO of Mirae Thermotech, as a member of Chunma Honors and awarded him a certification plaque. “Chunma Honors” is a donor courtesy program which was established by YU in 2020. It was established to honor major donors who contributed in development of the university and to spread a new donation culture at the university.
BAE Jin-beom, a graduate of Yeungnam University's Department of Metallurgical Engineering (Class of ’81), is the CEO of Mirae Thermotech, a company specializing in thermal surface treatment. He has shown exceptional dedication to his alma mater, donating ₩100 million in 2021 to support university development.
Since founding Mirae Thermotech in 2000, BAE has continuously invested in research and development, overcoming the limitations faced by small businesses through technological innovations in heat treatment. His efforts have led the company to expand its global competitiveness in overseas markets. BAE’s contributions to national industrial development were recognized with the Prime Minister's Award at the 2011 and 2013 Root Technology Competitions, and in 2017, Future Thermotech was designated as a promising small business for exports by the Small and Medium Venture Business Administration.
At the plaque presentation ceremony, BAE Jin-beom expressed his gratitude, saying, "The knowledge I gained at the university greatly helped me in managing my business. I donated simply because I wanted to give something back to the university, so I am grateful for this honorable recognition. I hope my contribution will aid the university’s development and support future students in their studies."
