What SIAS does

SIAS (legally SAS SIAS) is a French-headquartered B2B food manufacturer with Korean operational roots, specializing in Asian-inspired frozen cuisine for European retailers and food service operators. The company produces gyozas, mandus, bibimbap, fried rice, poke bowls, and ramen noodles under its own Yomia consumer brand, and operates a private label (Marque De Distributeur / MDD) manufacturing service that develops custom recipes for supermarket chains and food service clients. Its product range leverages specialized steam cooking technology (cuisson vapeur) developed through an in-house R&D team trained in South Korea, enabling authentic Asian rice textures and dumpling formats manufactured to European food safety standards with full microbiological and traceability controls via a custom ERP system.

The business operates seven industrial sites globally: five in South Korea (Ochang, Sunchang, Eumseong, plus two additional facilities originating from the AGRANA-era sauce operations beginning in 1990) and two in France (Roye in Hauts-de-France, acquired 2020 and operational 2021; Wisches in Alsace, inaugurated 2025 for instant noodle production). Revenue derives from three streams: private label manufacturing for retailers, branded Yomia product sales through retail and food service channels, and bespoke custom recipe development services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting retailer private label buyers and food service operators, supplemented by a heavy trade show presence (PLMA Amsterdam, Alimentaria Barcelona, ANUGA Cologne, SIAL Paris, SIRHA Lyon, IFE London, Gulfood Dubai).

The company's history traces to 1920, when Belgian group EVENCE COPPEE founded Société Industrielle et Agricole de la Somme in northern France. After ownership transitions through PERNOD-RICARD and Austrian group AGRANA, the sauce operations became SIAS Co. Ltd in South Korea (2003), and the group re-established French manufacturing presence in 2020 by acquiring the Roye site. In 2025, SIAS was recognized as a LEADEXPORT LEADER by the Lille Chamber of Commerce for its export strategy from Hauts-de-France.
