Conditions of the R&BD Center
We’ve tried our best to develop various products through continuously investing on R & D and innovating related systems, and provide customers with safe and healthful food.
Research & Business Development
01. Research & Business Development Center
R&BD Center has developed new technology and products boasting of unique tastes and new styles based on an indomitable, never-say-die spirit inherited by all employees of Nongshim. Armed with the belief that the best product in Korea is the best in the world, we have launched various products suited to around 70 countries worldwide and tried to promote the taste of Korean food and image of Nongshim.
As the premier food research and development organization, Nongshim Research Institute started out as the Research Department of Nongshim when the company was established in September 1965. Afterward, it was renamed Nongshim Product Development Institute in March 1978, Food Development Institute in February 1982, Nongshim Technical Development Institute in October 1983, and Development Division in 2001.
Its scale has been developed and expanded alongside the many name changes. Later, Nongshim relocated the Institute from Gunpo, Gyeonggi Province to a new research building in Sindaebang-dong, Seoul to strengthen its business competitiveness and to enable new R&D that creates new businesses. Finally, the Institute was reorganized as an R&BD Center with various pieces of equipment as necessary for research and development
