In June 1998, it began producing Korean Special Armor Plate (KSAP), the first domestic composite armor for main battle tanks developed for the K1A1.[4]

In 2002 and 2003, it succeeded in developing the world's lightest bulletproof helmet weighing 1,115 grams.[3][6][7]

In September 2006, the company name was changed from Oriental Industry to Samyang Comtech (Samyang Composite Technology).[3][4]
