It has been 30 years since Halla Climate Control (Hanon Systems) opened in Belleville. Thursday morning at their University Avenue location, the CEO Jay Son visited Belleville to raise the flag on their first international location.
Now called Hanon Systems, the Korean-based auto parts company has over 50 locations in 22 countries.
Son tells Quinte News that Belleville holds a special place in his heart.
Son says he spent five years working at the Belleville location.
Belleville Mayor Mitch Panciuk presented the key to the city to Hanon CEO Jay Son.
Panciuk was one of the first mainstays in Belleville’s Industrial Park.
