Samsung electronics and devices

Samsung is one of the world's largest and most recognizable technology brands, tracing its origins back to 1938 when it was founded as a small trading company in Daegu, South Korea. While it initially dealt in local groceries and noodles, the brand evolved through the decades into a global powerhouse in electronics, shipbuilding, and construction. Today, Samsung Electronics is the flagship entity of the Samsung Group.

Manufacturing for Samsung products occurs in multiple countries across the globe to satisfy international demand. While high-end memory chips and displays are often produced in South Korea, the company operates massive smartphone and appliance manufacturing facilities in Vietnam, India, Brazil, and Indonesia. Ownership remains held by the Samsung Group (the Lee family through a complex cross-holding structure), with Samsung Electronics being a public company listed on the Korea Exchange.
