WINNERS GALLERY

Dongwon F&B is a leading comprehensive food company in Korea, launching a variety of food products, including the first canned tuna in Korea, ‘Dongwon Tuna,’ as well as △seafood processed foods, △canned ham, △frozen and refrigerated foods, △dairy processed foods, △health functional foods, and △home meal replacements (HMR).

Based on the management philosophy of ‘Medicinal food from the same source as medicine’ and the belief that good food is medicine, Dongwon F&B leads a healthy food culture. Constant research, development, and investment provide customers with even better food. Thanks to these efforts, mega brands like Dongwon Tuna, Richam, and Yangban Porridge have been created and continue to thrive on dining tables across the nation. Dongwon F&B has firmly established itself as a leading domestic food company, joining the ‘4 trillion sales club’ for two consecutive years in 2022 and 2023.

Recently, it has set a long-term vision of ‘becoming a global food company contributing to human health’ and actively pursues global market expansion. Riding the K-food wave, it is expanding exports of best-selling products, such as Yangban Laver, Spicy Tuna, and God of Tteokbokki.

To lead the K-food trend, various new products are also being launched. Last year, the second-generation of canned tuna ‘Dongwon Mat-Cham,’ which can be eaten directly with rice without separate cooking, opened a new horizon in the canned tuna market. ‘Dongwon Tuna Extract,’ a liquid seasoning product developed with Dongwon F&B’s 40 plus years of accumulated technology of tuna production, achieved a significant presence in the seasoning market. Furthermore, earlier this year, it launched the premium fermented milk brand ‘Denmark Hej!’ and is creating a sensation in the liquid fermented milk market. ‘Denmark Hej!’ is a sub-brand of the total dairy processed brand ‘Denmark,’ planned to introduce premium products containing probiotics and various functional ingredients from Denmark, the global power of the dairy industry.

Moreover, Dongwon F&B has been taking the lead in ESG (environmental, social, and governance) management, not only providing healthy food to customers but also fulfilling its social responsibility in all aspects of its business activities. The group’s founding philosophy (realization of social justice through sincere corporate activities) and corporate vision (a socially necessary company creating new value) already inherently include ESG management values. Furthermore, Dongwon F&B has set a goal of ‘strengthening ESG management activities.’ The first step towards this goal is ‘Reducing Plastic Usage.’

Dongwon F&B strives to reduce the amount of plastic used in food packaging. Representative examples of practical actions include △eco-friendly packaging for Yangban Laver without plastic trays and △Dongwon Saemmul, which reduced the weight of PET bottles.
