On the 24th, Umtrie announced that it had started selling its Everjang and Gochujang at 40 Costco stores in California and Hawaii, and plans to expand to Costco stores across the United States in the near future.
Umtrie, a specialized company that has been researching and developing fermented sauces and condiments for 48 years since 1978, is considered a relatively small-to-medium sized enterprise in the industry. However, it is said to have been chosen by Costco, a global distribution giant, due to the excellent quality and competitiveness of its products.
He added, "We plan to further expand our reach into the global market, including increasing the number of export countries from the current level of about 45 to over 80 within three years.".

"This achievement was made possible by the combination of the company's future strategy to find growth engines in overseas markets, its spirit of challenge, the recent popularity of K-Food, and the increase in global demand," said Kim Sang-hee, CEO of Umtree. "We will further strengthen our focus on the North American market and pursue entry into Costco stores worldwide in the future.".
