Message from the CEO

Greetings,

I am Park Gil-yeon, the CEO of Harim Co., Ltd.

Welcome to the Harim website.

Harim Co., Ltd. is always striving to coexist with customers, affiliated producers, agencies, and business partners with the philosophy of “Breezy Summer Forest”. We are doing our best for our customers and shareholders to serve as a company that can be trusted and invested in because of the best quality.

My management philosophy is endless love and giving to others, saying, “I benefit by benefiting others, whether it is an individual or an organization.”, which is in line with Harim’s Win-Win Management philosophy.

Harim has pioneered a new path in the Korean food industry for the past 30 years. The chicken industry, which was referred to as the speculative industry from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, has been stabilized through the vertical integration and is now firmly protecting the livestock industry in Korea with a self-sufficiency rate of 85%. We are proud that Harim has played a leading role in the growth of Korean livestock industry.

Through the Win-Win Management, the annual average income of broiler producers, who grow more than 3 flocks per year, has reached 120 million KRW in 2010. Harim’s “Law of 1000” project has successfully completed – the average of the annual producer income has increased by more than 10 million KRW each year since 2013. As a result, the average of these producers’ annual income has become 203 million KRW in 2018. We are aiming for a high-income era with an average annual income of 220 million KRW by 2020.

All of Harim's executives and employees are working hard to bring the best quality fresh product to the consumer table by receiving the HACCP certification for the first time in Korea for all stages, from the parent stocks to the breeders, to the broilers, to the processing plants, and to the distribution centers.

In 2017, Harim invested 250 billion KRW in remodeling the existing Iksan Poultry Processing Plant into a smart plant to be equipped with animal welfare facility, eco-friendly energy facility and the latest IT technology. The remodeled Iksan Plant began its full operation in March 2019. Through the completion of this project, we strive to share a happy table by producing a variety of convenience food products tailored to the modern lifestyle, such as small portions meal, home convenience meals, and seasoned meat products for single-person households as an example.

Harim is continuing its endless challenges to be in the World's Top 10 Poultry Food Company by 2030. I send my appreciation to all Harim family, customers, shareholders, and everyone who have visited this website.
Together we win.

Thank you.
