Dongwon Home Food said on Feb. 5 it signed a business agreement with salad franchise Saladia to supply food ingredients.

Dongwon Home Food signed the supply agreement with Saladia on Feb. 4 at Dongwon Group headquarters in Seocho district, Seoul. Attendees included Park Sang-cheon (박상천), head of Dongwon Home Food’s foodservice ingredients business division, and Park Sung-ho (박성호), CEO of Saladia, as well as employees from both companies.

Saladia is a salad-focused franchise based on ingredients such as European vegetables and its own dressings. It sells menus including salads, poke and sandwiches.

Under the agreement, Dongwon Home Food will supply food ingredients to about 70 Saladia stores nationwide. Dongwon Home Food handles about 30,000 types of food ingredients, including sauces and dressings it manufactures, processed foods and non-food items.

"We will work so both companies can grow together through the synergy between Dongwon Home Food, which handles fresh food ingredients, and premium salad franchise Saladia," Park said. "We will supply safe and fresh food ingredients through a professional ingredient management system," he said.
