Samsung, the world leader in consumer electronics and digital solutions, celebrated on July 28th the first anniversary of the launch of its Levant Headquarters in Jordan in a ceremony held under the patronage of the company’s Levant President Sang Suk Roh, with the attendance of The Minister of Industry and Trade Eng. Amer Al Hadidi, the Korean Ambassador in Amman, H.E. Pong Kil Chin, in addition to the company’s employees.
Roh delivered a presentation outlining the strategic importance Jordan enjoys due to its geopolitical stability, which made it an ideal candidate as a gateway for Samsung into the region. The presentation also outlined the growth the company enjoyed during its first year of operations.
“After a year of being among you, we know we have made the right decision,” said Roh. “Jordan as a people and a government has a passion for technology and digital solutions, which manifests in countless ways, whether in the investment-friendly policies adopted by the government or the popularity of the products we release amongst the public. We are committed to put our hands together to help you make Jordan a unique technology hub in the region.”
Samsung has introduced a rich lineup of cutting edge technologies in the region in line with growing consumer demands for audiovisual and high end solutions. The technologies brought forth by the company include 3D LED televisions – which are considered the first of their kind in the world – in addition a variety of mobile handsets, digital cameras and notebook computers.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, Roh expressed gratitude to Samsung Levant and its team, disseminating memorial plaques to VIP attendees. He also led attendees on a brief tour of the company’s premises, providing an overview of its departments and work process.
