What FREEZONE does

FREEZONE Inc. (주식회사 프리죤) is a South Korean Total Care Outsourcing provider founded in 2005 and headquartered in Incheon, originally established as Celltrion's asset management subsidiary before being spun off and rebranded in 2011. The company operates four integrated service lines — Comprehensive Facility Management, Auxiliary Facility Management, Safety Management, and Talent Management — covering facility maintenance, security, hygiene, pest control, and staffing for enterprise and government clients across hospitals, hotels, airports, financial institutions, pharmaceutical firms, retail, and logistics.

Its technical differentiator is FDA cGMP-compliant pharmaceutical facility management meeting U.S., EU, Japan, and China standards, paired with an ISO 45001-certified occupational health and safety management system and a proprietary "Quick Response system" for rapid site deployment. Freezone holds multiple regulatory licenses including labor dispatch (Ministry of Employment and Labor No. 2010-467), general security, and special security (Incheon Police Agency No. 287), enabling it to bid on restricted government and pharmaceutical contracts.

The business model is professional services delivered through direct B2B enterprise field sales and government procurement channels. Revenue is generated via negotiated multi-service outsourcing contracts with the company's own 1,847-person workforce deployed at client sites across South Korea and claimed presences in Japan, China, and Singapore. The company reported 940 billion KRW in 2025 revenue (~$68M USD) with an A- credit rating, and serves anchor clients including Celltrion (founding client), Korean Air, Shinhan Bank, the Presidential Security Service, and luxury retail brands.
