[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Samyang Foods has carried out an organizational restructuring along with the regular executive personnel changes for 2022.

On the 17th, Samyang Foods announced that Kim Jeong-su, General President, was promoted to Vice Chairman, and Jang Jae-seong, Head of the Strategic Operations Headquarters (Executive Director), was promoted to Vice President, transitioning to a two-top system. Additionally, at the extraordinary board meeting held that day, Vice Chairman Kim Jeong-su was appointed as the CEO.

Through this, the management divisions such as planning, support, and finance will be led by professional manager Vice President Jang Jae-seong. Vice Chairman Kim Jeong-su plans to focus on sales, marketing, and product development by directly taking charge of the Overseas Sales Headquarters for global sales.

Recently, Samyang Foods established subsidiaries in the United States and China and has been promoting a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with 'Sarya General Trading' in the United Arab Emirates, increasing the proportion of overseas business and significantly revising its global strategy. It is judged that the concurrent position of Vice Chairman Kim as Head of Overseas Sales Headquarters will enable a swift response to the global business environment.

Furthermore, organizational restructuring was also carried out. By advancing the sophistication of production, sales, and management systems, the company plans to launch a full-scale global market attack.

In preparation for the completion of the Miryang Plant, Director Kim Dong-chan was promoted to Managing Director and assigned as Head of Production Headquarters. They introduced the Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Quality Management System (QMS), and Warehouse Management System (WMS) to establish a stable production system suitable for the global market.

To organize the SCM system and establish domestic and international logistics infrastructure, logistics expert Managing Director Park Kyung-cheol was deployed to the front lines, and the organization will be strengthened for efficient export supply chain management.

Meanwhile, the holding company Samyang Naturals plans to establish a central research institute to focus on establishing global quality management standards, developing and investing in eco-friendly materials, and entering new businesses.

A Samyang Foods official stated, “This personnel change and organizational restructuring are measures to respond to the rapidly changing external environment and accelerate the global market penetration as a leading Korean food export company.”
