CHEONGKWANJANG’S SECRET TO SUCCESS
We are official. It’s literally within our name (Cheong-Kwan-Jang), which roughly
translates to “products rightfully made in government-certified factories.” Not only are
we the most-trusted, most reliable source for Korean Ginseng but we are the oldest and
most reputable red ginseng manufacturer. Because of this, CheongKwanJang now has a
strong presence around the world, running four regional headquarters in the U.S., China,
Japan, and Taiwan, in addition to South Korea, and operating branches in over 40
countries. And our presence is not only strong in Asia, but also in Europe and the
Middle East regions. CheongKwanJang’s products were the first Korean health food brand
to be displayed on the shelves of the esteemed Harrods Department Store in London. And
in 2009, CheongKwangJang became the first Korean product to acquire the Saudi Arabian
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certificate, prompting CheongKwanJang as the global
leader in the ginseng industry with our world-class quality of Korean Red
Ginseng.
As a testament to our success, CheongKwanJang has received numerous
accolades for its outstanding professionalism and quality of products and services. We
have been ranked first in Korean Red Ginseng processed food category three years in a
row by the Korean Industry Customer Satisfaction survey, as well as first in the health
food category by the First Brand Awards for eight consecutive years. These awards
demonstrate that CheongKwanJang’s Korean Red Ginseng is synonymous with the highest
product quality and customer satisfaction.
WHY GO WITH CHEONGKWANJANG?
CheongKwanJang’s history goes way back, and its history and reputation accumulated over
the years are true testaments of CheongKwanJang’s dedication to bringing good health to
our customers. Originally spun off from the Korea Tobacco and Ginseng Corporation, which
was originally established back in 1899, CheonKwanJang has been in the ginseng business
for almost 120 years.
CheongKwanJang’s core values set the standard for a truly
elite product in the superfood supplement industry. Creating products and maintaining
standards around the following core principles has guided CheongKwanJang to be the #1,
most trusted and reliable ginseng product in Asia. CheongKwanJang was founded on the
groundwork that values better health and wellness while honoring the traditional way of
living to achieve overall wellness. Because of this foundation, we strive to not only be
the global leader in ginseng, but also leader of the health food business and pioneer of
health-oriented service business.
