Business
CJ Freshway Corporation is a South Korea-based food materials distribution and institutional food service management company. Operating primarily through two core business divisions—Food Materials Distribution and Food Service—the company supplies food ingredients, manufactured products, and dining management solutions to restaurant franchises, independent dining establishments, corporate cafeterias, hospitals, schools, child care centers, and senior care facilities. Its product and service portfolio encompasses fresh and processed food supplies, including agricultural produce, seafood, and livestock meats marketed under quality-controlled lines such as Freshmeet; general groceries, dairy, and culinary ingredients under its flagship master brand Itswell; specialized eco-friendly and child-targeted food ingredients under the I-Nuri brand; customized clinical, soft-texture, and nutritional care-food products under the Healthy-Nuri brand; custom-manufactured sauces, seasoning bases, dressing blends, and home meal replacement components through its manufacturing subsidiary Songrim Foods; and non-food consumables, kitchen appliances, and culinary equipment. In its Food Service division, the company delivers contract catering and cafeteria operation services across corporate offices, industrial sites, healthcare institutions, and educational facilities; commercial food court and dining concepts such as Gourmet Bridge and Morninghas; automated office snack delivery and pantry management under the Snackpick service; and end-to-end restaurant consulting, including custom recipe and menu engineering, kitchen workflow design, interior construction, and business management advisory. Headquartered in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, with executive offices in Seoul, South Korea, the company was founded in 1988 and operates as an affiliate of CJ Group, supported by a nationwide automated cold-chain logistics network and regional distribution subsidiaries under the Fresh One network. In recent corporate developments, CJ Freshway has accelerated its digital transformation and business restructuring initiatives, acquiring a 27.5 percent controlling equity stake in Marketboro, the operator of the Sikbom B2B food e-commerce platform and Marketbom SaaS distribution software; deploying artificial intelligence-powered automated ordering agents and launching its proprietary FreshN digital platform; entering into a group-wide strategic distribution alliance with Shinsegae Group and executing major supply contracts including a multi-billion KRW agreement with Saegwang Green Food; establishing a smart farm contract cultivation business to stabilize agricultural supply chains against climate volatility; and divesting its Vietnamese distribution subsidiary to concentrate capital and operational resources on its domestic technology-driven distribution and food service ecosystem.
