Namyang Dairy shifts from milk to protein and chocolate after return to profit, remaining tasks
Namyang Dairy returned to an operating profit last year after five years of losses, which is seen as a result of portfolio diversification and high-intensity efficiency measures under its largest shareholder, H&Q. The company expanded categories beyond white milk into protein, processed milk, coffee and tea, and its Takefit brand gained traction in convenience stores. Industry concerns persist that the turnaround could reflect short-term cost cuts, with sales still below 1 trillion won.
