The application period for new companies is from the 24th to August 31st, and about five companies will be selected.


Eligible applicants are companies that have their main office and business site in Gyeongbuk and manufacture consumer goods (finished products) B2C items with annual sales of 300 million KRW or more in the past two years.


After reviewing the qualifications of the applying companies, evaluating documents, presentations (PPT), and actual products, and conducting on-site inspections, the final selection will be made in November through the deliberation of the steering committee.


Selected companies can receive various marketing supports such as the use of the Sillarion brand logo, online and offline sales promotion support, and participation in domestic exhibitions.

Choi Young-sook, Director of the Economic and Industrial Bureau of Gyeongbuk Province, stated, “We will spare no effort to support the discovery and nurturing of Sillarion companies so that they can be recognized not only domestically but also overseas,” and urged, “We hope many local companies will apply for this new company recruitment.”
