The DB began in 1969 as a small company, Miryung Construction Company, Ltd., founded by the visionary entrepreneur, Mr. Junki Kim, on a start-up budget of only $25,000 with two employees.

The company, during the ensuing decade, has quickly grown into a leading construction firm in Korea, boosted in part, by its enormously successful construction ventures in the Middle East. By the late 1970s, Miryung Construction was well-capitalized with funds and amassed pivotal resources, and invested that capital in Korea’s much needed core industries: steel, fertilizer, construction, logistics, and finance. This enabled the company to lay down a framework for what is the DB today.

DB constantly challenge to new goals and has blazed a trail. Most of subsidiary’s companies are developed with new license of industry or established anew. And they expand it’s own business from?making subordinate products to upper ones. DB take over insolvent companies, and transforms them top-ranking enterprises with massive investment and business rationalization. Either, DB pioneered a new business for the first time in Korea: Ferroalloy, Steel Bars, Semiconductor Foundry, High-tech Glass Greenhouse, Eco-Friendly Electric Arc Furnace mill.

Although DB started nearly a half-century later than the other leading contemporary competitors in Korea, the corporation ranked as one of the top ten Korean conglomerates in 2000 based on a report by The Fair Trade Commission of the Korean Government.

DB is currently embarking on company-wide ambitious strategic plans with a full thrust to be a global leader in all classes of its businesses.
