Our Team — Marilabakoren
Marilabakoren was started by two partners who spent years in the glazing industry before launching their own production line in Incheon. The team has grown since then and now includes engineers, fabricators, installers, and office staff. Most people have been here from the early days. Turnover is low because the work is specialized and people who are good at it tend to stay.
Co-founder, Lead Engineer
Engineering and productionSpent years at a large curtain wall manufacturer before starting Marilabakoren. He wanted a company where the person measuring the opening is the same person who signs off on the final specification. That's still how it works. He runs every structural calculation on commercial projects and personally inspects each facade installation before handover. On residential jobs, he handles the initial consultation and passes the project to the team once the design is locked. His background is in structural engineering with a focus on aluminum alloy systems and curtain wall connections.
Co-founder, Project Manager
Scheduling and client workManages the production queue and installation calendar. He's the one who calls you when your order ships, and the one who calls the supplier when a glass batch arrives with the wrong coating. Before joining, he ran logistics in a different industry but brought the same skill: getting the right part to the right place on time and handling it calmly when something goes sideways. He built the internal tracking system that assigns a QR code to every frame and glass unit at the start of production. Clients on commercial projects get read access to the system so they can check status without calling.
Installation Foreman
Field crew leadLeads the installation crew. He's been fitting windows and facades for a long time, starting with a general construction company in Incheon before moving to glazing work. He oversees a team of installers and manages everything on site from scaffold setup to final seal inspection. He's particular about sealant application and won't let anyone patch a broken line. He also trains new crew members, which isn't a small job since most come from general construction and need to learn the tighter tolerances that glazing demands. A wall can be off by several millimeters and nobody notices; a window frame off by two won't close right.
The rest of the crew
Behind the leads, the team includes fabricators who run the extrusion press and CNC cutting stations, IGU assembly technicians in the glass clean room, powder-coating operators, additional field installers, a site safety officer, estimators who prepare quotes and material lists, a QC inspector who tests every unit before it ships, and office staff. Most of them don't show up on a website page, but they build the products in the photos. The company runs a standard work week with paid overtime, and the factory closes for major holidays. All field crew hold current safety certifications, renewed each year. We send people to trade shows abroad to stay current with new profile and coating developments.
