So this is "Samsung Group", not Samsung Electronics Inc. that received the contract. These two entities are different. The former is the conglomerate, the latter is its sister company( a HUGE sister company at that).
No. Samsung Electronics is not a sister company of Samsung Group. You would use the term "sister company" to describe a company which is owned by the same parent company as another company. So you can say Samsung Electronics is a sister company of Samsung Heavy Industries, but not Samsung Group. The correct term is subsidiary; Samsung Electronics is a subsidiary of Samsung Group, and your could also say that Samsung Group is the parent company of Samsung Electronics.
