We are a food tech company that specializes in alternative dairy products. We have developed our patented technology that can produce around 7,000 tons of products annually, and we are a food tech company that has continuously invested in technological research for food innovation. We began our business 24 years ago as a specialized IMC marketing company, and through our experience and accumulated expertise, we developed a data-intensive big data solution and obtained multiple patents. This solution played a significant role in uncovering opportunities for our current alternative food business. As a food tech specialist, we can now focus on developing new products based on our proprietary technology. This realization was made four years ago when we aimed to launch a new product, vegan pizza, under our brick-oven pizza brand. To achieve this, we embarked on developing plant-based cheese. Though we tested numerous existing vegan cheese options, we still need to meet our standards. As soon as we made the decision, we established an alternative dairy research institute and succeeded in launching a cube-type vegan cheese with plain, cheddar, and blueberry flavors after a year and a half of research based on the goal of "making the same taste and quality as animal cheese. Our company has a lot of food marketing and public relations experts, plus we're starting to create opportunity for us by hiring professional dairy researchers and reinforcing our focus on vegan dairy research technology. We have successfully raised $29 million in investments from a multitude of investors, including investment firms that have backed pioneering vegan food companies like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat. The company's remarkable progress can be attributed to the proficiency of our highly skilled personnel and the proprietary big data solution we have developed in-house.
