[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Valvijo Bio Co., Ltd., a partner company of the 2021 Wando International Seaweed Expo, announced on the 5th that it signed an export contract for 4,000 kelp packs with a U.S. company and recently delivered 1,000 packs as an initial shipment.

Valvijo Bio Co., Ltd., which established a kelp pack processing factory in Wando last March through a tripartite investment agreement with Wando County and the Jeonnam Marine Bio Research Center, officially began producing kelp packs using 100% natural kelp raw material sheets from early May.

In addition, to increase the production of kelp packs currently made by hand, the company plans to invest 8 billion KRW to establish an automated factory in the Wando Agricultural and Industrial Complex by next year.

Following this, they plan to promote exports through mass production to Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia, as well as Europe and Southeast Asia.

The kelp mask packs from Wando are characterized by using 100% natural fresh kelp raw material sheets instead of ordinary sheets, providing excellent effects for moisturizing, trouble care, and soothing.

In particular, they contain a large amount of nutrients abundant in green-yellow vegetables such as minerals and various vitamins, which promote the production of elastic cells like collagen and elastin in the skin and remove keratin from the skin epidermis, improving skin elasticity and preventing wrinkles.

A Wando County official said, “Kelp adsorbs fine dust and protects and soothes skin exposed to harmful environments, making it an essential item for healthy skin,” adding, “We expect that the expansion of exports of Wando kelp packs will greatly help the local economy.”
