(주)동구밭 is a privately held Korean OEM/ODM manufacturer specializing in solid-format cosmetics and lifestyle products, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Hanam-si, Gyeonggi Province. The company operates three product divisions: solid cosmetics (cleansing powders, CP/MP/HP soap bars, mild acidic bars, bath bombs, essence tablets), waterless lifestyle products (detergent and cleaning tablets, deodorizers, air fresheners), and fragrance products (solid perfumes, car diffusers, incense sticks).

Donggu Bat generates revenue through B2B contract manufacturing services, providing end-to-end OEM/ODM solutions from R&D and formulation development through safety testing, pilot production, and mass manufacturing. Pricing is quote-based and varies by formulation complexity, order quantity (MOQs of 5,000–10,000 units), packaging specifications, and raw material costs, with standard 50% deposit / 50% pre-shipment payment terms. The company reports serving over 500 clients in Korea and internationally, with a combined monthly production capacity exceeding 1.5 million units across its core solid-format lines.

The company's client roster includes major Korean cosmetics brands (Innisfree, Amore Pacific, Nature Republic, SKIN1004, Beauty of Joseon, Tamburins, Round Lab, Aromatica, Kundal), lifestyle and retail names (Daiso, Shinsegae JAJU, CJ Olive Young, Modern House), and entertainment-licensed collaborations (HYBE). It sells primarily through direct B2B sales channels with export support, and is led by co-CEOs Noh Soonho and Park Sangjae under an owner-operated SME structure.
