The Jinmu Group (Zhenian: 진무그룹, stylized as JINMU) is a Zhenia-based multinational conglomerate founded by Kim Saeho. Headquartered in Donggyeong, it is the largest civilian corporation in Zhenia both by revenue and number of employees worldwide. It consists of over 90 fully-owned and partially-owned subsidiaries, most of which are owned by Jinmu Holdings.

Founded in 1861 during the Zhenian Civil War as a shipbuilding company near Shinhang by Kim Saeho, Kim and his family members spearheaded the expansion into various industries over the ages, including construction, railroad vehicles, transport and later automobiles. It surpassed the decades-older Hanshin Group to become the largest enterprise of the nation in the 1930s, while its restructuring after the Second Great War resulted in many of its businesses being converted into fully-owned subsidiaries. During Kim Shimin's rule, it has expanded its services globally, with increasing importance on its electronics and semiconductors sales. It retains some of the highest levels of global brand value in the world.

As of 2019, Jinmu Holdings remains the holding company of the entire group. Along with other corporations, such as the Hanshin and Paragon Groups, it has been one of the core driving forces of the Zhenian economy, having spearheaded the Miracle of the Danbon River. Despite ongoing competition with rival corporations and concerns over monopolies, with it subsidiaries combined, the Jinmu Group remains the largest civilian company in Zhenia, outgunning its competitors with economic and political power in the nation.

Jinmu Electronics

A multinational electronics and information technology company and one of the largest subsidiaries of the Jinmu Group, Jinmu Electronics manufactures numerous consumer electronics - such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, air conditioners, flat-screen televisions, digital cameras, refrigerators - as well as displays, semiconductors, integrated circuits and telecommunications equipment used in consumer products of both its own products and consumer products manufactured by other firms. As of 2019, it retains its position as the largest mobile phone maker in Zhenia by unit sales, with a Zhenian domestic market share of around 45.7%, while also leading the Zhenian market in an array of electronics in a de facto domestic duopoly with Hanshin Electronics.

Jinmu Heavy Industries

Jinmu Heavy Industries (JHI) specializes in most fields that are referred to as 'heavy industry', including steel, shipbuilding and aerospace engineering, to the degree that each department under the firm is considered a direct subsidiary of Jinmu Heavy Industries. Its maritime engineering department is one of the largest shipbuilders in the world, with an annual revenue of over $40 billion in 2019; its steel mills, operated by Jinmu Steel Company, was the single largest steel producer in the nation by steel output at 61.5 metric tons of steel, while many of its other divisions lead the international market in both quality and quantity. In such circumstances, Jinmu Heavy Industries remains the single largest subsidiary of the Jinmu Group, although its position has been challenged by Jinmu Electronics and the Jinmu Motor Company.

The aerospace branch of Jinmu Heavy Industries, Mir Industries, formerly known as Jinmu Aerospace Corporation, is the largest producer of civilian narrow-body aircraft in Zhenia, as well as the sole producer of wide-body aircraft in the nation. Upholding roughly 35% of the world's wide-body aircraft market, it has been the primary supplier of wide-body aircraft to airlines and governments around Zhenia. Its joint venture with Jinmu Defense Industries, Jinmu Military Air, established in 2009, iss an initiative to specialize to military aircraft and unify the manufacturing effort.

Jinmu Shipbuilding & Maritime Engineering, the maritime engineering department of the Jinmu Group, is a direct subsidy of JHI. It is home to the single largest shipyard in the world near Shinhang, being home to six primary dry docks for shipbuilding, while it also owns a total of 8 shipyards across the world. It specializes in both civilian and military vessels, although it has received far more orders in larger civilian vessels, including maritime platforms, large icebreakers, container ships, oil tankers, LNG carriers and the like. It, alongside Hanshin Heavy Industries, has been recently contracted the construction of Zhenia's new Li Shan-Class Aircraft Carrier, set to build 4 of the 8 planned vessels in its dry dock.
