Sponsorship Builds on Doosan's Strong Presence in Europe and the Americas

CRAWLEY, England, May 13, 2010 - Today, Doosan announces that it will be an official patron for The Open
Championship, the oldest and most prestigious of the four major global golf
events. The sponsorship forms an important part of Doosan's marketing
strategy that will support the company's aim to become one of the Global 200
companies by 2020.

The Open is organised by The R&A, golf's governing body, and is
celebrating its 150th year. Doosan will be one of six patrons including Rolex
and Lexus. Doosan will be the first Korean company to join The Open.

The Open will be seen by a crowd of 250,000 at the event and the
competition will be broadcast to 163 nations including Europe and North
America
. Doosan is well represented in Europe and the Americas through its
growing power plant business, Doosan Power Systems, with headquarters in the
UK.

"Joining The Open as a patron is an excellent opportunity for Doosan to
raise its profile throughout the world, and we believe the outcome will
definitely surpass our expectations," explained Iain Miller, the CEO of
Doosan Power Systems, Doosan's subsidiary power-plant business in Europe and
America.

"The Open Championship has a very special place in the world of golf and
at a time when Korean golf is more and more prominent in the world this is a
very natural partnership."

Doosan will also build its marketing strategies in Europe and North
America
through its other affiliates such as Doosan Babcock (steam generation
manufacturer), Doosan IMGB (forging and casting), Skoda Power (plant turbine
manufacturer) and Doosan Infracore International (construction equipment
including Bobcat).
