Sangmidang Vice Chairman Attends U.S. Embassy Event

Sangmidang Holdings has bolstered its cooperation with global distribution networks in an effort to grow its presence in North America and Europe. On October 18, vice chairman Hur Jin-soo participated in an exclusive event for Gellert Global Group's (GGG) global business partners, held at the U.S. Embassy in Paris. The gathering, organized by U.S. Ambassador to France Charles Kushner, aimed to foster connections among GGG's key partners, a major U.S. distribution company.

Over 130 officials from approximately 80 leading companies worldwide attended, with Sangmidang Holdings being the sole Korean representative. During the event, Hur met with GGG's chairman, George Gellert, and Kushner to discuss potential expansion avenues and forge stronger ties. GGG, headquartered in the United States, is a global food import and distribution firm that provides products to distributors across North America, food supply chains, and the restaurant and hotel sectors.

The company procures around 4,000 food products from over 60 countries and generates annual sales exceeding $1.7 billion, indicating its potential to play a pivotal role in Sangmidang Holdings' overseas expansion. Following the event, GGG chairman George Gellert and U.S. Ambassador to France Charles Kushner visited Sangmidang Holdings' booth in person at the SIAL Paris 2026, the world's largest food exhibition, further demonstrating their commitment to the partnership.
