The Excellent Corporate Research Institute is a system that discovers and designates corporate-affiliated research institutes with outstanding research and development capabilities. It is hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and organized by the Korea Industrial Technology Association, selected through a total of three stages of evaluation.

Located in Sejong City, Namyang Dairy Products Central Research Institute is a core organization that has created numerous hit products such as ‘Bulgari,’ ‘Einstein,’ ‘EO,’ ‘I’m Mother,’ ‘17th,’ ‘French Cafe,’ ‘Delicious Milk GT,’ and ‘Choco Emong.’ In this evaluation, it was recognized for its differentiated competitiveness in product technology and food safety analysis capabilities.

In particular, in the product technology capability category, it received high scores for having many patents compared to peer companies, including ‘MSD technology’ and ‘AA particle drying technology’ that improve the solubility of powdered milk, the country’s largest ‘probiotic fermentation technology,’ and ‘freeze-drying technology’ developed purely with domestic technology.

Along with this, Namyang Dairy Products Central Research Institute, which has consistently achieved results such as the development of Certified Reference Materials (CRM) for powdered milk, achieved the remarkable feat of being selected as the nationally accredited ‘National Food Composition Data Center’ in March 2021, the only food company to do so.
