CJ CheilJedang announced on September 7, 2026, that it has opened a 'Global Technical Center' in Singapore to expand its seasoning ingredients business.

The Global Technical Center is a facility where CJ CheilJedang’s seasoning ingredients—including 'TasteNrich', 'CJ TIDE', and the 'Add-Mi' nucleotide solution—are applied to a wide range of foods according to customer needs, in order to develop technologies that deliver the desired flavors. The center also supports customers in commercializing their products based on these innovations.

The newly opened Singapore center is the fourth Global Technical Center established by CJ CheilJedang, following Korea, the United States (Chicago), and the Netherlands (Wageningen). It will serve as a hub for seasoning ingredient technology support in the Asia-Pacific region. The company explained that its strategy is to accelerate business growth by providing close, localized technical support directly where its overseas customers operate.

On September 1, 2026, CJ CheilJedang held an opening ceremony at the Global Technical Center located in Singapore’s Biopolis research complex, attended by officials from the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Singapore. From September 2 to 4, the company invited major customers from neighboring regions to announce the opening of the center and to introduce its main seasoning and nutrition ingredient products, as well as application solutions.

A CJ CheilJedang representative stated, “Through the Singapore Global Technical Center, we are now able to collaborate more closely with customers across the Asia-Pacific region,” adding, “We will deliver solutions that meet both health and taste needs, based on differentiated technology and product capabilities.”

Meanwhile, CJ CheilJedang is targeting the global food seasoning ingredients market with flagship products such as TasteNrich, CJ TIDE, and Add-Mi. In particular, TasteNrich is a next-generation natural seasoning ingredient, which combines CJ CheilJedang’s microbial fermentation R&D expertise with advanced technology. It is produced by fermenting naturally derived materials such as sugarcane, without artificial additives. According to the company, applying this product to food helps maintain taste and quality while reducing sodium or other additive content.
