- MANIKER F&G CO., LTD is a South Korea-based food manufacturing company primarily engaged in the production, processing, and distribution of value-added poultry products, processed meats, and home meal replacements (HMR). Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, the company operates as the specialized processed food manufacturing affiliate of the Maniker Group and is affiliated with the Easy Holdings corporate network. The company manufactures and markets a comprehensive product portfolio structured across multiple categories, including shelf-stable and frozen ginseng chicken soups (Samgyetang); air fryer-optimized poultry products marketed under the proprietary Air Friends brand; frozen and chilled breaded and seasoned chicken lines, including the Basasak Chicken series, Honey Crunch series, chicken nuggets, tenders, popcorn chicken, and chicken cutlets; processed livestock products such as pork cutlets, hamburger patties, meatballs, sausages, and bacon; and convenient nutrient-focused ready meals under the Danbaek Hangi and Real Home Meal product lines. MANIKER F&G operates through dual commercial channels, providing branded packaged foods directly to consumers through retail hypermarkets, grocery chains, and online platforms, while maintaining an extensive business-to-business (B2B) operation that supplies food service franchises, institutional caterers, school meal programs, and convenience store networks. Geographically, the company operates modern HACCP-certified manufacturing facilities in South Korea and distributes its products domestically as well as to overseas export markets across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, including the United States, Canada, Japan, and Southeast Asia. In recent strategic developments, MANIKER F&G commenced its inaugural commercial exports of heat-treated poultry products (Samgyetang) to the European Union in May 2024, establishing market entry through Germany before broadening distribution into France and the Netherlands following finalized bilateral sanitary agreements. To support this international market expansion and escalating domestic demand for convenience foods, the company completed the construction of a second manufacturing facility in November 2024, installing automated continuous frying and seasoning-coating processing lines to expand production capacity for premium value-added chicken products.
