Taejin ACP bonds metal skins to a functional core in a single composite panel, supplying lightweight, high-stiffness solutions for truck bodies, building facades and construction-site noise control.
Taejin ACP was founded in 2023 in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, on the strength of experienced composite-panel engineers and a continuous production line. Within nine months it had earned ISO 9001, KS F 4737, quasi-noncombustible performance and JIS Class 1 flame retardancy, and it is growing quickly through volume production of panels for Korean box trucks and exports of soundproof panels to Japan.

KS F 4737 product certification (No. 23-0428) · Quasi-noncombustible performance for exterior wall finishes (KCL) · JIS A 1322 Class 1 flame retardancy for soundproof panels (FITI)
Volume supply of rear swing-door panels for Korean box trucks · Soundproof hoarding panels exported to construction sites in Japan · Passed drop-impact test (FITI)
Revenue forecast of approx. KRW 2.0 billion (about 2.2× the previous year) · Corrosion resistance verified for 2.5 mm white ACP for appliances (no corrosion after 72 hours of acetic acid salt spray)
Bond a light core between two thin metal skins and you get the same stiffness at far less weight. Vehicles carry more and travel farther, and buildings become lighter and safer.
Example: rear swing-door panel for Korean box trucks · 15.0 mm total
Weight per m² of panels with the same bending stiffness
Theoretical calculation at equal bending stiffness (E·I) — aluminum 70 GPa · 2.70 g/cm³, steel 200 GPa · 7.85 g/cm³; composite panel with 0.5 mm × 2 skins + 3 mm core (core stiffness ignored). The Taejin ACP FR 4 mm weight is the measured specimen value of 7.09 kg/m² from KCL test report CT23-088374K. The trend matches manufacturers' published equal-stiffness tables (FR 4 mm 7.6 kg/m² ↔ aluminum 3.3 mm 8.9 kg/m², ALUCOBOND · ALPOLIC).
Demand driven by logistics, by regulation and by noise complaints. Taejin ACP serves three very different markets with the same production technology.
Core businessRear swing-door panels for Korean box trucks, plus wall, roll-up and swing-door panels for US trailers. Steel or aluminum skins with a foam core.
KS certifiedQuasi-noncombustible aluminum and zinc composite panels in 4 / 6 / 8 mm, for the market created by Korea's noncombustible or quasi-noncombustible requirement for exterior walls on buildings of 3+ stories or 9 m+.
Exporting to JapanLightweight composite soundproof panels with JIS A 1322 Class 1 flame retardancy, exported to construction sites in Japan. We are bringing this panel-type hoarding, proven in Japan, to construction sites in Korea.

Recent policy, statistics and industry news from the three markets Taejin ACP serves. The bold line under each item sums up what it means for the market.
Korea's 5th Comprehensive Plan for Noise and Vibration Management (2026–2030). Advance notifications must now show predicted noise for each work stage and the effect of noise-control facilities, and real-time AI and IoT monitoring is being introduced.
IoT noise meters were installed at 10 large sites, with alerts and mandatory action reports whenever noise exceeds 70 dB(A). Monthly complaints fell from 47 to 30.
In the Japanese Ministry of the Environment's FY2024 survey, 8,166 of 19,886 noise complaints concerned construction work. Notifications of specified construction work totaled 93,938.
The revised Act on Building Unit Ownership lowered the threshold for condominium rebuilding resolutions from four-fifths to three-quarters. Demolition of the Osaka Expo site and urban redevelopment projects also continues.
After a fire at a large housing estate, scaffolding nets for new construction and repair work must pass laboratory flame-retardancy tests before they can be installed.
About 220,000 of the roughly 350,000 piloti buildings in Korea use combustible exterior materials. Cladding details will be disclosed in building registers, and KRW 5 billion for retrofits was newly added to the 2027 budget proposal.
An amendment requiring noncombustible interior finishes in underground car parks passed the National Assembly (effective February 2027), continuing the trend toward tighter noncombustible and quasi-noncombustible rules.
Work to replace unsafe cladding continues after the Grenfell fire. Of 516 high-rise buildings with PE-core ACM, 93% have completed replacement.
Korea's 2026 budget for electric trucks is KRW 358.37 billion. Medium trucks receive up to KRW 40 million and heavy trucks up to KRW 60 million for the first time, while the range requirement for small trucks rises to 308 km or more.
Korea handled 6.4 billion parcels in 2025 (+7.7%) and 3.31 billion in the first half of 2026 (+6.7%), with 6.6–6.8 billion expected for the full year.
Crash-safety rules are phasing out cab-over 1-ton trucks, with semi-bonnet and PBV successors arriving in 2027. Cargo body dimensions will change.
August orders reached 24,200 units (+193% year on year). ACT expects sales to rise from 198,000 units in 2026 to 262,000 in 2027, with strong replacement demand for refrigerated trailers.

01PE, FR and foam resins fed through the hopper are melted in an extruder with multi-zone temperature control.
02Coated aluminum and steel coils are unwound and fed to the top and bottom at the same time.
03The T-die shapes the core into a sheet, heated rolls bond it to the skins, and a protective film is applied.
04Panels cool on a roller conveyor, which keeps them flat.
05Panels are cut to the ordered length and stacked on pallets by a vacuum lifter.
We combine skin material, core and thickness to suit each application. Please contact us for non-standard dimensions and coating colors.

Thank you for visiting Taejin ACP. We started in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, in 2023 with one idea: to bring lightness, strength and safety together in a single composite panel.
In our first year we laid the groundwork for quality, earning ISO 9001 and KS certification along with quasi-noncombustible and flame-retardant performance. Today our panels are used on Korean box trucks, on building facades, and on construction sites in Japan, where standards are demanding.
Every specification and every delivery date starts from our customers' sites. We give even the smallest order our full attention, and we answer with verified data. We look forward to your continued interest and support.
2024 and 2025 show approximate revenue from financial statements filed with the National Tax Service; 2026 (hatched) is the company's forecast.

Questions we often hear from architects, truck-body builders and contractors.
PE cores are polyethylene. They are the lightest (about 5.5 kg/m² at 4 mm) and the easiest to work, so they are mainly used for signage, interiors and equipment. They are, however, combustible.
FR cores are fire-retardant cores filled with minerals. In Korea they are used wherever quasi-noncombustible or better materials are required, such as the exterior walls of buildings with 3 or more stories or 9 m or taller. Taejin ACP's 4 mm FR core (magnesium hydroxide + PE) passed quasi-noncombustible performance tests.
In the cone calorimeter test (KS F ISO 5660-1), total heat release over 10 minutes of heating must be 8 MJ/m² or less, the heat release rate must not exceed 200 kW/m² for 10 seconds or more in a row, and there must be no cracks, holes or melting. The gas toxicity test (KS F 2271) requires a mean incapacitation time of 9 minutes or more.
Taejin ACP FR 4 mm results: total heat release of 0.3–1.1 MJ/m², 0 seconds above 200 kW/m², and gas toxicity of 14 min 59 s.
MOLIT notice “Standards for Flame-Retardant Performance of Building Finishing Materials and Fire-Spread Prevention Structures” · notices may be revised, so please check the latest version.The two 0.5 mm skins work like a small H-beam, delivering the same stiffness at far less weight. At equal bending stiffness, Taejin ACP FR 4 mm (7.1 kg/m²) is about 21% lighter than solid aluminum (3.3 mm, about 9.0 kg/m²) and about 61% lighter than solid steel (about 2.35 mm, about 18.4 kg/m²).
Theoretical calculation and measured specimen (see the “At equal stiffness” chart above)Yes. Cut them with a carbide-tipped circular saw, and rout a V-groove on the back to fold the panel by hand into a cassette (tray). Rivets, bolts and adhesives all work. Aluminum expands about twice as much as steel with heat, so leave room for movement at the fixings.
For details, see the fabrication and installation guide below the product lineup.
Ordinary fences are thin steel sheets joined together, so gaps form easily, and there is no sound-insulation standard for the sheets themselves. Panel-type hoarding forms a continuous wall without gaps, and in Japan its transmission loss is assessed against Kasetsu Kogyokai certification criteria.
Sound insulation rises with panel weight, so lightweight panels make up for it with absorbent layers and structural design. Taejin ACP soundproof panels have JIS A 1322 Class 1 flame retardancy and are exported to construction sites in Japan.
We produce panels by combining thickness (1.5–15 mm), skin material (aluminum, steel, zinc) and core (PE, FR, foam). For specifications outside our standard range, such as door sizes for a particular vehicle model or a site-specific color or thickness, please contact us.
Wash with water and a mild neutral detergent using a soft sponge, then rinse with clean water. Work from the bottom up, out of direct sunlight and while the surface is not hot, to avoid streaks. Avoid abrasives, stiff brushes and solvents. We recommend cleaning twice a year in coastal areas and once or twice a year elsewhere.
ALPOLIC · Reynobond maintenance guidelines, AAMA 610The aluminum skins and core can be separated after shredding, and the aluminum is remelted into new material. Recycling aluminum saves about 95% of the energy needed for primary production, and about 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today.
