Daewoo Electronics is one of South Korea's largest consumer electronics manufacturers and exporters. Daewoo makes home and kitchen appliances (microwave ovens, refrigerators, washing machines). Daewoo Electronics sells its products in more than 105 countries. Backed by the Korean government, the company is restructuring in an effort to return to profitability and eventually find a buyer. To that end, in 2009 it sold four of its businesses: TV, air conditioning, vacuum cleaners, and electronic motors. The firm retained its refrigerator, washing machine, and kitchen appliance units.
