One month after SPC launches SMDH holding company, major fire undercuts safety push

SPC Group has marked one month since launching holding company Sangmidang Holdings (SMDH) to strengthen accountable management and safety. A major fire at its Siheung plant has put SPC’s safety management back under scrutiny, especially as the same site saw a fatal machinery accident last May. Fire authorities said 3 of 12 workers inhaled smoke and suffered minor injuries. The plant shutdown disrupted B2B supply, though production shifted to other facilities and supply resumed on Feb. 5.
