Samsung was founded by Lee Byung-Chull on March 1, 1938, in Taegu, Korea. It began as a grocery trading business that sold noodles and other locally produced goods and exported them to China and its provinces. After the Korean War, Lee moved into textiles and later expanded Samsung into industries including insurance, banking, oil refining, chemicals, and manufacturing before the company entered electronics.
