Thank you for visiting
CJ CheilJedang’s official website.
Founded in 1953 as Korea’s first sugar manufacturer, supplying a staple ingredient for the nation, CJ CheilJedang has helped shape the country’s food industry for more than 70 years. Through our challenge-driven mindset and continuous innovation, we have grown into a global lifestyle company that enriches lives around the world.
Our Lifestyle Foods Business Unit is evolving into a K-Food leader that brings new wellness to everyday life. Through a portfolio of beloved lifestyle brands—including Beksul, bibigo, DASIDA, Haechandle, Hetbahn, and Red Baron—we are creating healthier, more convenient, and more enjoyable experiences for consumers worldwide.
Our Technical Solution Business Unit draws on decades of fermentation expertise to swiftly respond to changing customer needs and market dynamics across nucleotides, Taste & Nutrition, Health & Wellness, and bio-based, marine-biodegradable materials such as PHA. Through differentiated technological capabilities, the business delivers high-value specialty and wellness solutions and is strengthening its role as a next-generation growth engine.
Our Performance Ingredients Business Unit is evolving into a global provider of key ingredients. Building on the two pillars that have underpinned CJ CheilJedang’s growth—the food ingredients business, spanning sugar, flour, and cooking oils, and the feed-grade amino acid business— we continue to broaden our offerings to include food ingredients designed around customer needs and convenience, such as alternative sweeteners, premixes, and premium cooking oils, alongside high-value protein ingredients for animal feed and nutritional solutions for crops.
CJ CheilJedang will not rest on our achievements. Through business optimization and organizational innovation, we will continue to build a portfolio that balances profitability with sustainable growth. By further strengthening the distinctive competitive strengths of each business and maximizing synergies across our portfolio, we will create new opportunities for sustainable growth in Korea and around the world.
People remain central to this commitment. CJ CheilJedang will continue to attract, develop, and retain outstanding talent while cultivating a corporate culture that inspires creativity and a spirit of challenge, empowering our employees to realize their full potential. Furthermore, to foster the virtuous cycle of “Nature to Nature,” we prioritize creating shared value through health, safety, and a sustainable environment. Across each and every stage of operations—from raw material sourcing and product development to manufacturing and sales—we are establishing processes that place consumer health and safety first. We will also continue to advance sustainable environmental management by building a circular economy for plastics, reducing carbon emissions, and minimizing food waste.
Built on a longstanding heritage of change and innovation, CJ CheilJedang remains committed to consumer-centered management that maximizes customer satisfaction. We will continue our efforts to further strengthen our position as a global lifestyle and culture company that brings health, happiness, and convenience to consumers worldwide.
Thank you.
