Sempio Foods, a leading domestic food company, is expanding its plant in Yeongdong, Chungbuk-do.
On June 17, Chungbuk Province and Yeongdong County signed a business agreement at the Enford Hotel in Cheongju for the expansion of Sempio Foods' Yeongdong plant.
The Yeongdong plant, established in 2001 in Gagok-ri, Yongsan-myeon, Yeongdong-gun, covers approximately 26,700㎡ and produces products such as gochujang (red pepper paste), doenjang (soybean paste), and jerky.
The company plans to nearly double the manufacturing facilities at the Yeongdong plant from the current 7,860㎡ to 13,100㎡ by 2028. The expansion is for production of K-sauces including hot sauces based on gochujang, among other products.
