As executive vice president and deputy CEO, Chiwhan Yoon is responsible for strategic planning, operational oversight, business growth, product & parts service support, captive finance development, and profitability.
The addition of Chiwhan Yoon is part of KIOTI and Daedong’s strategic vision to move from a farm machinery manufacturer to a total solution provider, offering customers a comprehensive range of products, platforms, services, and captive finance support.
Working in alignment with Daedong, KIOTI plans to continue to broaden its product lineup. In October, KIOTI launched its HX Series, adding a new engine platform and higher horsepower tractor to its lineup.
