Auto Officials Accused of Leaking Tech Secrets to China
Industrial Espionage Reveal Problems at Kia
Nine former and incumbent employees of Kia Motors have been indicted by prosecutors for leaking key car manufacturing technologies to China.
The Suwon Prosecutors' office said Thursday that the suspects allegedly sent assembly and welding technologies from Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors to a car maker in China's Anhui Province.
Five of them including an incumbent employee named Lee were arrested. Four former employees including a man named Kim were charged without detention.
Five former employees including a man named Choi worked for Kia Motors and its affiliates for five to 20 years.
They are believed to have approached the current employees through an auto technology consulting firm, Company "A", that they set up in 2005. They then allegedly stole frame-building technologies and other managerial data.
The five are accused of receiving 57 pieces of confidential data by email from last November to April of this year. The material included assembly technology for the Kia Sorrento and a new model called "HM".
From September 10 last year to January 20, 2007, the consultants allegedly passed the information to Company "C" while traveling in and out of China. Company "C" has been publicly criticized for copying GM Daewoo's Matiz city car.
Prosecutors say their investigation shows that Company "A" received W230 million (US$1=W925) from Company C for "technological guidance," and that the thieves also tried to sell the information to another Chinese car maker identified as Company "J".
The welding and assembly technologies that were stolen are key manufacturing secrets that affect the noise, vibration, safety, and durability of the automobile.
Hyundai and Kia Motors estimated the damage from the theft could add up to W4.7 trillion by 2010 in the Chinese market and W22.3 trillion in the global market.
