- Maeil Holdings Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based holding company engaged in the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of dairy products, specialized nutritional foods, packaged beverages, and bakery goods, as well as the operation of premium food service and restaurant chains. Founded in 1969 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, the company operates through a portfolio of core operating subsidiaries and affiliates, including Maeil Dairies Co., Ltd., M's Seed Co., Ltd., Sangha Farm Co., Ltd., and M's Bakers Co., Ltd.
The company's core product and service portfolio comprises: fresh milk, low-fat milk, and lactose-free milk products marketed under the Maeil Milk brand; spoonable and drinking fermented yogurts under the Maeil Bio brand; artisanal, natural, and processed cheeses under the Sangha Cheese brand; infant milk formulas, baby food purees, and specialized metabolic disorder medical formulas under the Absolute and Baby Well brands; adult health functional nutrition, protein supplements, and medical food formulations under the Selex and Mediwell brands; ready-to-drink chilled cup and bottled coffees under the Barista Rules and My Café Latte brands; fruit juices under the Sunup brand; plant-based beverages including oat milk under the Amazing Oat brand, soy beverages under Maeil Soymilk, and almond milk distributed under partnership with Blue Diamond Growers; specialty café and espresso store operations under the Paul Bassett brand; Chinese fine dining restaurants under the Crystal Jade Korea brand; artisanal bakery products and premium desserts under the Mildo and M's Bakers brands; and sustainable agricultural farming, organic food manufacturing, and eco-tourism hospitality services managed through Sangha Farm.
Geographically, the company maintains extensive manufacturing facilities, logistics networks, and retail presences across South Korea, while exporting its nutritional formulas, dairy powders, and ready-to-drink beverages to overseas markets, including China, the United States, Australia, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
In recent developments, the group has executed strategic reorganizations and portfolio expansions to accelerate growth in high-value nutritional categories and food service channels. Maeil Dairies completed an absorption merger of its functional nutrition subsidiary, Maeil Health Nutrition Co., Ltd., integrating the Selex adult health functional food and clinical nutrition business directly into the core operating entity to maximize operational synergies and expand its global nutrition footprint. Furthermore, dessert subsidiary M's Bakers acquired and scaled the artisanal bakery brand Mildo, integrating its product lineup across major department store retail outlets, Paul Bassett coffee shops, and Sangha Farm hospitality venues. The company has also expanded its international presence through increased Halal-certified product lines and deepened its footprint in plant-based milk alternatives and medical nutrition products.
