Our Manufacturing

All of our plants operate global quality management systems - ISO, HACCP, FSSC22000 and IPM (Integrated Pest Management), which ensure high quality in the entire value chain. We are also proactive in preventing customer claims and supporting our suppliers.

Nongshim founded a local subsidiary in Australia in January 2014 to expand the local distribution network and increase the awareness of its brands. Inspired by the fact that rugby is the most popular sport in Australia, we started to sponsor the Parramatta Eels as part of the strategy to pioneer the local market, while promoting a free tasting event outdoors and at Costco every week.
