Business
Daesang Holdings Co., Ltd. operates primarily in the general food business, manufacturing and selling a broad range of food products including traditional Korean bean pastes (such as Soonchang Red Pepper Paste and Hatsal Dameun Soy Sauce), seasonings (MIWON, Gamchimi, Matsunsaeng), agro-fishery foods (vinegar and fish sauce), fresh foods (Kimchi, tofu), western food products, deli items, and frozen foods. The company also specializes in food ingredients like starch used in food, paper, textile, and construction materials, sweeteners applied in alcoholic drinks, confectionery, baking, and beverage industries, as well as bio-ingredients including flavor enhancers, amino acids (such as L-lysine), and microalgae-based products serving food, dietary supplements, functional food, animal nutrition, pet food, and pharmaceutical sectors. Daesang leverages advanced fermentation technology to develop these ingredients, supporting both food and feed industries. The company operates across Korea, Asia, the United States, Europe, Oceania, and Africa. Founded in 1956 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, Daesang continues to expand its global footprint. Recently, Daesang has strengthened its global presence by participating in major food ingredient exhibitions like FiE 2025 in Paris and forming strategic partnerships to enhance its gourmet kimchi brands, such as collaborations with Michelin 3-star chefs. The company maintains a commitment to innovation in healthful food culture and ingredient technologies while sustaining its leadership in staple Korean food brands O’Food, Jongga, and Chung Jung One. Daesang's recent activities have included acquisition of stakes in overseas food companies, expansion of feedstuff supplement production, and launching new bio ingredient products to support broader functional food and animal nutrition markets across multiple continents. These strategic moves underscore its dual focus on traditional food product lines and ingredient innovation for global markets.
