Young Chang was founded in 1956 as a distributor of Yamaha pianos for Korea and other parts of Asia. The company was founded by three brothers, Jai-Young Kim, Jai-Chang Kim and Jai-Sup Kim, as South Korea emerged as a major economy and producer of high quality products.
The first Young Chang factory was built in Seoul in 1964. In 1986, the company established Weber Piano Company, which sells pianos under the Weber brand name. In 1990, Young Chang purchased Kurzweil Music Systems, a maker of high end electronic and digital musical instruments. Hyundai Development Company acquired Young Chang in 2006. The company was renamed to HDC Young Chang in 2018. The company is among the largest and most automated of the world's piano manufacturers.
