SAMYOUNG M-TEK announced that it has obtained the international Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for its Norwegian suspension bridge components, Cross Head Slab and Saddle.

The Environmental Product Declaration is a verification granted to products that quantify and display the environmental impact of the entire process from raw material collection to production, distribution, use, and disposal in order to improve eco-friendliness. Its purpose is to provide accurate environmental information.

SAMYOUNG M-TEK conducted EPD verification by EPD Norway, an international EPD program operator in Europe, to strengthen its product eco-friendly management capabilities and improve export competitiveness, and recently completed EPD verification by EPD Networks.

In relation to the 555 Sotra Expressway project, SAMYOUNG M-TEK is supplying Cross Head Slab and Saddle to the 901m suspension bridge for the construction and improvement project of a 10km, 4-lane road connecting Bergen, Norway's second largest city, and nearby Oegaarden.

A SAMYOUNG M-TEK official said, “We have achieved first place in the korean market for large ship engine parts, and are improving profitability through product diversification, such as establishing a lineup of industrial steel materials and structural materials. We are also continuing activities such as verifying EPD by promoting eco-friendly activities, such as introducing an environmental management system.”
