History

Haesung International has been creating healthy tables
with convenient meals that protect both taste and health.

The health of our seas,
on your table today.

Haesung International Co., Ltd. specializes in the distribution of fresh, safe, and healthy seafood and processed seafood products, including flounder, abalone, and seaweed, all carefully raised and managed in the pristine waters of Wando, Korea. The company was established in 2018 as an affiliate of its parent organization, Wando Aquatic Animal Health Center, a specialized aquatic animal medical institution founded in 2006 that focuses on disease prevention and treatment.

Haesung International also carries out quarantine management services. To perform these duties, certified aquatic animal health professionals must complete official quarantine management training. As aquaculture technology advances, production volumes continue to increase, and exports are being actively promoted, making the role of quarantine managers increasingly important.

Our company employs some of Korea’s highest-level aquatic animal health professionals and quarantine managers. By pre-verifying documentation and health conditions of live seafood intended for export and cooperating with the National Fishery Products Quality Management Service, we ensure smooth export procedures. In addition to quarantine services, we also cooperate in safety inspections and radioactive testing through sample collection of fish, shellfish, and seaweed produced in Jeollanam-do, helping to ensure the safety of seafood not only handled by our company but also produced throughout Wando and the wider Jeollanam-do region.
