Ilhwa Corporation has begun operating a plant that produces medicine and ginseng products. The building completion ceremony, held April 9, was attended by 300 people, including Mayor Lee Gwang-jun of Chuncheon.

The company purchased a site in the G-tech Village in 2008 and started construction in 2011. It invested KRW 28 billion to create a cutting-edge eco-friendly plant. Main facilities include a ginseng extraction and concentration system, an IBC system that prevents raw materials from being contaminated, and 19 air-conditioning units. The plant is also equipped with an automatic warehouse, where the entire process (from stocking raw materials to sending end products) is carried out automatically.

The plant comprises nine buildings that have one underground floor and three ground floors each.
