A brief (short) history of ChoengKwanJang
In 1899, the Korean government established an organization to develop a national ginseng industry. This government organisation became the ancestor of the ChoengKwanJang brand.
1899
The beginning of a century-long tradition
The year 1899 was the starting point in the history of Korean red ginseng. This was the year when Samjungkwa was founded as the forerunner of the Korea Ginseng Corporation.
1956
Construction of Korean plant by
ginseng production
The promotion of Samjungkwa to the Monopoly Authority gave the Korean red ginseng industry a new lease of life. After a Korean red ginseng plant was built in Buyeo-gun, Chuncheonnamdo, the industry began exporting ginseng products to overseas markets including Taiwan, Hong Kong and Thailand.
1981
Entering the international market
Korean ginseng thrived on the global market, resulting in an astonishing $100 million in ginseng exports in 1978. Later, it was transformed into the Korean Monopoly Corporation and eventually reconstituted as the Korean Tobacco and Ginseng Corporation (KT&G,). In 1991, KT&G opened an overseas subsidiary in Hong Kong, establishing a strong position for further international expansion.
1999
Entering the international market (назва дублює заголовок від 1981 року)
In 1999, Korea Ginseng Corporation spun off KT&G into a separate company, making their first steps as a health food brand specialising in Korean red ginseng. KGC's strong will to operate independently combined with the public's faith in Korean red ginseng made possible this bold venture.
