Ssangyong Motor Co (003620.KS) is a South Korea-based maker of sport utility vehicles. Ssangyong, majority owned by China's SAIC Motor Corp (600104.SS), secured protection under court receivership in February.

The company said in a statement that production has been suspended since late May because of labour union strikes against restructuring plans, leading to weak sales. [ID:nSEO330046] (Reporting by Shin Jieun in SEOUL; Editing by Chris Lewis)
