Hyundai Motor Company's global headquarters is located in Seoul, South Korea. The company’s headquarters is in the city’s Gangnam District, at the Hyundai Motor Group headquarters complex.
Hyundai Motor Company was founded in 1967 and became one of South Korea’s major automobile manufacturers. Its Seoul headquarters oversees vehicle design, manufacturing, sales, research, and global operations. Hyundai’s largest manufacturing sites and important research facilities are spread across South Korea and other countries.
The company is part of Hyundai Motor Group, which also includes Kia and other businesses. That group structure can lead to confusion about whether a location belongs to Hyundai Motor Company or another affiliate. Hyundai’s headquarters is in Seoul, while the company’s major production plants include sites in Ulsan, Asan, and Jeonju.
