Overview

Doowon Climate Control Co., Ltd. (Korean: 두원공조; Hanja: 斗源空調) is a South Korean manufacturer specialising in automotive air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. It is an affiliate of the Doowon Group, a Korean industrial group with interests in automotive components and education. The company was established on 18 January 1989 by Kim Chan-doo, a former member of the 14th National Assembly of South Korea. Its head office functions are handled through a Seoul office in Gangnam-gu, while manufacturing takes place at plants in Gyeongju (Gyeongsangbuk-do) and Ulsan. The company supplies air-conditioning systems and related components to the automotive industry, positioning itself as a specialist in vehicle climate control rather than a general parts maker. In 2024, the Korea Fair Trade Commission imposed a corrective order and a fine of KRW 54 million on Doowon Climate Control for violating subcontracting documentation obligations and setting unfair special terms. The company remains active and is part of the wider Doowon Group, which also includes Doowon Technical University College and Anseong Doowon Technical High School.
