Since its founding, WATON has been guided by the belief that “technology is perfected at your fingertips,” dedicating itself to delivering optimal solutions in industrial automation. We believe that technology is created not by machines, but by people—and that the collective expertise, intuition, and dedication of our team is what brings great technology to life.
As industries evolve rapidly, companies are expected to be more than technology providers—they must become true partners in their customers’ success. In response, WATON has strengthened its internal capabilities and integrated processes in-house, positioning itself as a reliable “technology partner” working side-by-side with customers to solve challenges and deliver solutions.
Our company culture is rooted in people. Through structured education and evaluation systems, mentoring, and knowledge sharing, we cultivate the next generation of technical experts while ensuring sustainability in our technology culture. This foundation allows WATON to consistently deliver greater value to customers and society.
Looking forward, we will continue to pursue innovation and embrace new challenges, striving to grow as a trusted global company. We sincerely thank our customers for their support and trust, and we look forward to building a better tomorrow together—founded on technology, people, and trust.
Thank you.
Ha Won-ho, CEO of WATON Co., Ltd.
WATON’s corporate culture is rooted in the philosophy that “technology is perfected at your fingertips.” We prioritize people-centered growth over short-term results, fostering an environment where every member can learn and develop. Believing that one person’s growth strengthens the entire company, we emphasize internal knowledge accumulation rather than external dependence, respecting not only technical expertise but also field experience and intuitive skills. Through mentoring and training, we provide systematic talent development, while fair evaluation and continuous feedback ensure that both individuals and the organization grow together.
We value internal knowledge accumulation and field experience, encouraging ownership and creative problem-solving among all employees.
From Level 1 (basic skills) to Level 5 (leadership skills), we provide clear growth benchmarks and support continuous development through design, control, and software training, as well as mentoring for cross-generational knowledge sharing.
Hands-on training in design, software, assembly, and commissioning ensures fast adaptation and the growth of professionals with both technical intuition and practical expertise.
WATON systematically supports the growth of its members by operating a dual evaluation system.
This structured approach enables both individuals and the organization to grow endlessly while strengthening problem-solving and adaptability, creating a culture where technology and people advance together.
WATON is built on three core values: technology, global expansion, and talent development. The company operates a forward-looking organizational structure that balances four pillars—technology, business, organization, and finance—led by the CEO, driving both innovative R&D and global market expansion.
