Korea Yakult

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Korea Yakult Co., Ltd (hangul: 한국야쿠르트) is a South Korean food company based in Seocho-gu, Seoul. It is one of the largest food companies in South Korea and produces beverages (including sikhye and sujeonggwa), ramen noodles, and dairy products (including yakult, a yoghurt-like drink).

Korea Yakult was founded in 1969. In 1987 the company began distributing its products overseas, under the brand name PALDO. PALDO products are exported to nearly 30 nations, including Russia, the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Germany. PALDO products are commonly purchased by Japanese people because Korea Yakult's overseas market is Yakult Honsha's home market.
