□ Samsung C&T has been trading synthetic resins for decades
During the course of this “Getting to know” series, we’ve occasionally made reference to historic periods such as the Bronze Age. But as we now turn our attention to synthetic resins, we can need look no further back than our own present era – what has been called the “Plastics Age.”
While we may be very familiar with the word “plastic,” it may be less widely known where plastics come from – and the simple answer is synthetic resins. These are an important commodity for Samsung C&T Trading & Investment Group. Let’s start by getting to know more about them.

New schoolbags for students of all ages

New schoolbags for students of all ages
Many of the little difficulties of everyday life can be solved by surprisingly simple solutions. One example is having the right container to hold your possessions as you move around during the day. Our two hands can only hold so much, while pockets are really only good for holding small items (and not everyone has garments with pockets). This is why people invented bags – to hold our things, to keep them organized and safe from the elements, and to prevent us from losing them.
Schoolchildren are no exception. They need practical and attractive bags to ferry their books, stationery items, tablet PC and so on safely between home and school, and to fit in with the other children. BEANPOLE KIDS from Samsung C&T Fashion Group is an unrivaled leader in the field of making schoolbags for boys and girls of all ages, launching new offerings each year that attract admiring looks from children as well as their parents.

2024 key commodity market outlook: Part 2
We kicked off our 2024 key commodity outlook by assessing this year’s expectations for steel, copper, rechargeable battery materials, and precious metals. In doing so, we presented a mixed picture of opportunities and challenges, as global economic uncertainty weighs on many commodities.
Continuing with the second part of our outlook, we will now look at various forms of energy and fertilizer, which may be affected by factors ranging from geopolitical concerns to the worldwide transition away from fossil fuels. Moreover, post-pandemic energy consumption is set to grow 1.8% in 2024, up from 1.2% last year, according to economic and political analysis provider Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).
As we did in the first part of our outlook, we will also explain where Samsung C&T Trading & Investment Group’s business interests come in.

Colors of the year: Why limit yourself to two?
Just as every year is the International Year of something (the United Nations has declared 2024 the International Year of Camelids), each year has one or more colors chosen to capture a mood, sentiment, or hope for that year. This year, Samsung Fashion Institute (SFI), part of Samsung C&T Fashion Group, has selected two hues and the Pantone Color Institute has chosen one, giving us a choice of three tones to style with in 2024.
