Samlip said on the 9th that it has named Do Se-ho, CEO of Sangmidang Holdings, and Jeong In-ho, CEO of Nongshim Kellogg, as co-CEOs.
That day, Samlip held a board meeting and submitted the agenda to the shareholders meeting. They are scheduled to be formally appointed after the regular shareholders meeting on the 26th. Samlip said the appointments aim to drive management renewal based on new leadership and to expand global business and strengthen competitiveness.
Do, drawing on expertise in manufacturing sites and labor-management cooperation, will overhaul the production system and lead stronger safety management. The role will focus on establishing a site-centered safety culture and reinforcing production operations in a stable manner.
Jeong is a global management expert who has overseen Nongshim Kellogg, the Korea subsidiary of the global food company "Kellanova (formerly Kellogg)," as well as the Hong Kong and Taiwan regions, covering both strategy and sales. Samlip plans to build an advanced management system aligned with global standards and expand its overseas business with the addition of Jeong In-ho.
A Samlip official said, "These appointments reflect a sober assessment of recent shifts in the business environment and are intended to drive change and innovation across production sites and overall management," adding, "We will strengthen competitiveness around the two pillars of safety and global business expansion and further solidify the foundation for future growth."
