KGC has the utmost confidence in the quality of our products. This confidence is rooted in nearly 120 years of traditional know-how, and over 80 years of dedication to modern research and development, accompanied by cutting-edge technology. Founded in 1937, the Korea Ginseng Research Institute issued a new era of innovation, bringing our traditional craftsmanship into the modern world. In cooperation with health and medical communities at home and abroad, our 140 researchers with PhDs and Master Degrees conduct research on cultivation techniques and soil management, and apply the latest technologies to develop new innovations in processing and ensure quality control to produce effective products you can trust.
Regular users of KGC's CheongKwanJang brand of Korean Red Ginseng products understand that quality speaks for itself. Nevertheless, sometimes it is good to be recognized. KGC has received Current Good Manufacturing Practices certifications ("cGMPs") from major countries around the world, including Australia, South Korea, Japan, and we conform to or exceed the rules issued by the U.S. FDA. We have acquired HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points) certification, ISO 22000 (International Organization for Standardization for Reliable Food Management Safety Systems) certification, and we are the first ginseng company to ever have acquired accreditation from the internationally certified KOLAS (laboratory accreditation) on 5 criteria and 192 items.
We invest a full 2 years just to secure the finest, uncontaminated, pollutant-free planting fields, into growing Korean ginseng under a quality control scheme following 293 criteria, carried out over 7 rounds of full-scale review, enforced by our team of R&D researchers. This is our commitment to quality.
