Sacheon-si Eco-friendly Microbial Fermentation Research Foundation Opens New Office

The Microbial Fermentation Research Foundation is holding the opening ceremony of its new office.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 30th, the Gyeongnam Sacheon City Eco-friendly Microbial Fermentation Research Foundation held an opening ceremony for its new office building attended by about 100 people, including Park Dong-sik, Mayor of Sacheon, Ha Young-je, National Assembly member, Yoon Hyung-geun, Chairman of the City Council, city and provincial council members, and residents.

The new office building was constructed with a total project cost of 1.3 billion KRW, starting in December 2021, on a site behind the Sacheon Agricultural Technology Center. It has a total area of 297㎡ and is a single-story building.

Main facilities include a civil service office, administrative offices, meeting rooms, and testing research laboratories. The exterior of the building reflects the shape of eco-friendly microorganisms.

The Microbial Foundation completed its corporate registration on June 12, 2020, and opened a temporary office on the second floor of the Sacheon-eup Administrative Welfare Center on August 10, starting operations with six staff members.

It has been engaged in developing fermentation technology using eco-friendly microorganisms, conducting testing research, and offering citizen lectures.

However, due to the cramped temporary office causing various difficulties in carrying out foundation activities, the construction of the new office building became inevitable.

With the establishment of this new office, it is expected to further develop the microbial and fermentation fields, which are future innovative industries, and serve as a driving force to realize the city administration slogan of the 8th elected term, "A New Start, Happy City Sacheon."

A foundation official said, "Although there were some difficulties, as a result of our best efforts, we are holding the opening ceremony here today," and added, "We will do our best to become the nation's top specialized research institute in the eco-friendly microbial and fermentation fields beyond Sacheon City."
