, which has established itself as an industry leader by exclusively manufacturing "potting soil"—a critical agricultural material—for over 30 years
, has laid the groundwork for a leap forward. According to Nongkyung on the 25th, a completion ceremony for its new factory was held this morning in Deoksan-eup, Jincheon-gun, under the slogan "30 Years of Pioneering, 50 Years of Leaping Forward" to mark a new era of growth. Nongkyung has
established itself as a leader in the potting soil industry by manufacturing and selling potting soil for rice, horticulture, and specialized soils for various crops.
Not content with this, Nongkyung embarked on the construction of a new factory to develop optimal potting soils for an even wider variety of crops.
The newly completed factory, built as an integrated facility, was constructed on a 99,000 cubic meter (30,000 pyeong) site in Deoksan-eup, Jincheon-gun, North Chungcheong Province.
This factory is drawing attention because it has established production lines for environmental improvement and digital transformation aimed at achieving carbon neutrality.
 This is interpreted as reflecting Nongkyung's management philosophy of striving to create the highest quality and a new corporate innovation transformation based on ESG management guidelines.
At the completion ceremony, Nongkyung CEO Koo Ja-kyun stated, "For 34 years, Nongkyung has walked alongside farmers as an industry leader, manufacturing only 'potting soil,' the most basic and essential agricultural material." He added,
"By capturing the preciousness of this land and connecting nature and people, Nongkyung has not merely sold potting soil but has delivered the dreams and values ​​of agriculture to farmers."
CEO Koo continued, "We will discard the old clothes we have worn and put on new ones to build a sustainable company for over 100 years to come." He expressed his aspirations, saying,
"Nongkyung will strengthen R&D to create new sources of revenue and devote its full efforts to developing new products. In particular, we dare to boast that our potting soil technology is the best in the world, and
we want to create a new paradigm of exporting technology."
Since its founding in 1991, Nongkyung has been a homegrown agricultural materials company that has walked a single path driven solely by the passion to create the best potting soil in Korea.
For the past 33 years, we have produced potting soil for rice cultivation, horticultural potting soil, compost, etc., providing the highest quality products and services in the country.
As a result, our flagship product, potting soil, has ranked first in domestic production and sales nationwide since 2015.
