~ Hanon Systems, a leading global automotive thermal management supplier and subsidiary of Hankook & Company Group, has once again proven its innovative capabilities by winning the 2025 PACE Awards. This marks the company's third win, making it the first Korean supplier to achieve this recognition.
The award was presented to Hanon Systems at a ceremony on April 15 in Detroit, Michigan. The company was recognized for its visible-light LED photocatalyst technology, which enhances antimicrobial and deodorizing performance in HVAC systems. This groundbreaking solution effectively eliminates harmful gases, odors, and microorganisms that enter the vehicle from both internal and external sources. Unlike conventional ionizers, it operates without generating electromagnetic waves or ozone, providing a safer and more effective approach to improving in-cabin air quality.
External testing has shown impressive results for Hanon Systems' technology. It demonstrated a virus sterilization rate of 98.5%, a significant improvement from the 66.1% measured from previous solutions. The deodorization performance also saw a significant increase from 35% to 97.5%. What's more, this technology is semi-permanent and does not require replacement. It is currently being used in Hyundai's flagship sedan, the G90, and is now being considered for potential implementation by global OEMs.

This latest award adds to Hanon Systems' long-standing track record of innovation in the automotive industry. In 2016, the company was a finalist for its UV photocatalyst technology aimed at improving air quality. The current solution builds on that earlier work by overcoming limitations and ensuring the technology is harmless to humans. It also offers potential applications beyond the automotive sector, including indoor climate systems.
According to Jamie Butters, executive editor of Automotive News, "For 30 years, the PACE program has celebrated cutting-edge innovations that have shaped the automotive industry on a global level." He added that "the companies on this year's list have pioneered significant technologies that will continue to propel the industry forward."
Hanon Systems' President and CEO, Mr. Soo-Il Lee, expressed his pride in receiving this prestigious award. He stated, "This award is global recognition of Hanon Systems' differentiated technological competitiveness." He also emphasized the company's commitment to developing advanced technologies that go beyond comfort to deliver enhanced well-being and redefine the driving experience.
