00:04GSNTech just opened Korea's largest plant for the steel foundations that anchor offshore wind
00:09turbines. Each one can weigh up to 2,500 tons, and the company is already targeting nine projects
00:16in Korea and Japan. It's Wednesday, October 28th. Let's take a look at a key development in Korea's
00:23industry sector. These foundations are called monopiles. GSNTech held the plant's completion
00:30ceremony in Ulsan on Monday. Each monopile is welded together from huge steel cylinders called
00:36cans. Here's what the numbers show. 300 billion won, about $227 million. That's what GSNTech invested
00:46in the plant. Its automated line can produce 150,000 tons of monopiles a year. Workers preheat
00:54the seams of a 34-meter steel cylinder to over 100 degrees Celsius before welding. So what does this
01:02mean for supply chain managers? Earlier, we said GSNTech is targeting nine projects in Korea and
01:09Japan. Here's what that actually means for you. Developers in both countries gain a large regional
01:15source of foundations, which could ease supply constraints if port capacity keeps up. Watch
01:21which of the nine projects GSNTech wins. Watch progress on a dedicated monopile pier. Watch how
01:28fast the line ramps toward 150,000 tons a year. That's today's AI Prism, Industry Daily. This episode
