- Samjin Food Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based food manufacturing and retail company primarily engaged in the production, processing, distribution, and sale of premium fish cakes, seafood-based snacks, and processed marine products. Founded in 1953 and headquartered in Busan, South Korea, the company operates across retail, wholesale, food service, and export business segments. Samjin Food offers a diverse portfolio of culinary and convenience food products, which includes signature bakery-style fish cake croquettes filled with cheese, shrimp, and vegetables; traditional fried, steamed, and baked fish paste cakes; soup-grade fish cakes and broth meal kits; shelf-stable and refrigerated ready-to-eat seafood snacks; fish cake noodles, tteokbokki kits, and home meal replacement dishes; as well as high-protein, functional seafood snack bars. In addition to packaged consumer goods sold through hypermarkets, convenience store chains, and direct-to-consumer e-commerce platforms, the company operates dedicated bakery-café retail outlets in department stores, transit terminals, and flagship commercial locations. Samjin Food also provides bulk food service ingredients and custom OEM and ODM manufacturing services to institutional catering, restaurant, and grocery clients. Geographically, the company serves the domestic South Korean market and exports its frozen and ambient-temperature products internationally across North America, Southeast Asia, and East Asia, including the United States, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. In recent strategic developments, Samjin Food has expanded its capital market presence through its listing on the Korea Exchange under ticker KRX:0013V0 to support corporate scaling and global market penetration. The company has accelerated international expansion through distribution agreements with global retail and supermarket chains, introduced new export-oriented shelf-stable snack lines and health-focused high-protein product categories, and upgraded its domestic production facilities with automated smart manufacturing systems to enhance output capacity and quality standards. Additionally, the company has broadened its market reach through strategic co-branding partnerships with major convenience store networks and digital food distribution channels to capture surging demand for single-portion meals and ready-to-heat convenience foods.
