What 大象(北京)食品有限公司 does

Daesang Corporation (대상주식회사) is a major South Korean food manufacturing and conglomerate operating 16 production facilities and more than 20 company-owned distribution/logistics centers across the country, spanning processed foods, grains, agricultural products, seafood, livestock, chemicals, and packaging materials. Its consumer-facing portfolio includes multiple wholly-owned brands — Chungjungone (청정원, sauces and condiments), Jonggajip (종가집, traditional Korean foods), Daesang WelLife (health and wellness), Ofood Global (international markets), and Jungone e-Shop (online retail) — and the corporate group also spans adjacent businesses including construction (대상건설), materials (대상소재BU), food-plus products (대상푸드플러스), IT services (대상정보기술), investment holding (유티씨인베스트먼트), diving services (대상다이브스), and a cultural foundation (대상문화재단). The company operates a structured B2B supplier partnership ecosystem branded "동반성장" (co-growth) through the edaesang.com portal, comprising the SCC (Supply Chain Collaboration) platform for order/delivery/quality/inventory/evaluation, the SSS (Supplier Support System) for registration and electronic bidding (live auctions and quote-based bidding), and a VOC (Voice of Customer) feedback system. Procurement follows fair-trade compliant terms — cash payment for invoices under 3 million KRW (VAT included) and promissory notes at tax invoice date plus 60 days for amounts at or above 3 million KRW — with B2B supplier financing facilitated through partner banks Woori Bank and KB Kookmin Bank. The GWP Partners club program, a 5-tier annual supplier evaluation system (quality, delivery/cooperation, competitive pricing, financial soundness, ESG, and co-growth program participation), and a Daily Food News archive (802 entries spanning 2014–2018) constitute the company's principal supplier-engagement and content channels.

Note on entity identity: the firmographic header identifies the subject as "大象(北京)食品有限公司" with 13 employees in Beijing, China. Every substantive data field describes Daesang Corporation, a large Korean conglomerate headquartered at 120 Changgyeonggung-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul. The 13-employee figure is materially inconsistent with the operational footprint documented (16 plants, 20+ distribution centers, 13 wholly-owned subsidiaries, multi-decade brand portfolio) and is treated here as a data artifact rather than a representation of the entity being analyzed.
