ShinWon

Global textile industry publication TextilesResources.com has published an in-depth interview with JJ Park, CEO of ShinWon Corporation.

Key Interview Highlights

Innovation and Strategic Vision CEO Park emphasized that "innovation begins with a mindset, not technology," noting that the textile industry stands at a crossroads between incremental improvement and disruptive reinvention. He shared how ShinWon has transformed its organizational approach, shifting from reactive buyer responses to proactive consumer problem-solving strategies.

Sustainability and Circular Economy Park presented sustainability as "fundamentally about business model redesign" rather than just environmental responsibility. He detailed ShinWon's concrete ESG strategies including RFID-enabled traceability systems, eco-friendly material utilization, and water consumption minimization technologies.

Global Supply Chain Diversification In response to geopolitical tensions and tariff changes, Park outlined ShinWon's systematic regional expansion strategy in Central America: establishing a sales subsidiary in Guatemala in 2023, opening a specialized activewear factory in 2024, and acquiring local manufacturer Modas Blue, S.A. in January 2025.

Future Expansion Plans Beyond Central America, Park discussed the company's strategic approach to evaluating additional manufacturing regions to further strengthen global supply chain resilience.

Workforce Development Park highlighted that approximately 75% of management and supervisory positions across ShinWon's international subsidiaries are held by women, along with comprehensive training programs in partnership with RISE (Reimagining Industry to Support Equality) to empower female garment workers.
