Full Description

The company manufactured plastic containers for health functional foods (dietary supplements), with revenue of KRW 29.2 billion and EBITDA of KRW 2.2 billion. At a point where it needed to reach the next stage of growth through expansion beyond supplement containers, the family decided to sell upon finding the right partner.
