- CJ Cheiljedang Corporation engages in the food and biotechnology industries, operating primarily in South Korea and internationally. It offers a comprehensive range of products including home meal replacements; meat and fishery processing; seasoning and sauces; sweeteners, flour, and cooking oils; seaweed, desserts, and snacks; as well as beverages. The company is also active in biotechnology with products such as amino acids, green proteins, enzymes, plant nutrition and health solutions, specialty biomaterials, microbiome-based drug development for genetic infection diseases, and alternative and cultured proteins. Additionally, CJ Cheiljedang operates in animal feed, livestock, fresh meat businesses, and logistics services including transportation, storage, shipping, and loading/unloading. Founded in 1953 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, the company has expanded globally with operations in markets including the U.S., China, Vietnam, Japan, Europe, and more than 100 countries exporting its brands. Recent major developments include strategic investments in expanding manufacturing facilities in North America and Europe with new plants planned in South Dakota (2027) and Hungary (2026) to support growing global demand for K-food products such as kimchi, mandu, and ready-to-eat meals. Despite some operational profit challenges in the B2C sector in 2023-2024, the company has seen strong overseas sales growth, with international revenue approaching half of total sales, and has continued to innovate with new biotechnology solutions and product launches under its well-known brand Bibigo. The company also underwent leadership adjustments focused on stabilizing mid-term growth strategies in early 2024. CJ Cheiljedang operates through multiple segments including Food, Biotechnology, Feed and Care, and Logistics, with recent strategic moves emphasizing global expansion, innovation, and diversification of high-value products.
