With this expansion, the plant's alcohol extraction facility has increased its production capacity by approximately 200% compared to before, reaching an annual volume of 10,000 tons. In addition, a new water extraction facility with an annual capacity of 6,500 tons has been established, securing a total annual production capacity of 16,500 tons.

The expanded facility was designed with a focus on safety and productivity improvements. It is equipped with the nation's top-level Process Safety Management (PSM) systems, and explosion-proof equipment has been applied to all processes to enhance the safety of alcohol extraction operations. Furthermore, six large-capacity extractors with a capacity of 6 kiloliters (kL) each and a high-efficiency concentration system have been introduced, establishing a production base capable of meeting large-scale production demand.

Previously, Huons N has supplied natural extract ingredients to major clients such as Nonghyup Red Ginseng, building a reputation for quality and production capability. With this expansion, the company plans to further increase the production of health functional food ingredients and strengthen its competitiveness in the diverse natural materials business.

The newly established facilities are scheduled to begin full-scale operation in the middle of this month. Huons N plans to expand the production of its main product, concentrated red ginseng extract, as well as increase the output of ingredients related to liver health, eye health, and joint health. Additionally, the company intends to broaden its business scope to include herbal medicine preparations, cosmetics, natural flavorings, and individually recognized health functional food ingredients in the future.

Dongcheol Son, CEO of Huons N, stated, "With the active support of Chuncheon City, we have established a production base with greater capacity and enhanced safety. Building on our newly established extraction facilities, we will stably meet the demands of domestic and overseas clients and continuously strengthen our competitiveness in the natural materials business."
