## About

Based in Gyeongsangnam, South Korea, and founded in 2023, NEW HERITAGE was founded to commercialize innovative food products utilizing seaweed and agricultural ingredients and has acquired technology related to personalized health supplement formulations and seaweed-based functional foods. Since its establishment, New Heritage has participated in numerous international trade fairs and export promotion programs while expanding its sales network to countries including Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Japan, the United States, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other markets. In September 2026, it raised a KRW 1 billion seed investment from CNTTech to accelerate global growth.
The company focuses on the development, production, and export of seasoned seaweed, seaweed snacks, and seaweed-based functional food products. Its product portfolio includes branded seaweed snacks such as the “Kim Nacho” series and products under the SEA ART FOOD brand. New Heritage also conducts research on health-functional foods that combine seaweed and agricultural ingredients and seeks to create higher-value food products through product innovation and branding.
The company's revenue is generated primarily through the manufacturing and sale of seaweed-based food products, including seasoned seaweed and snack products, as well as export sales to overseas distributors and retail channels. The company has established export operations in multiple countries and has supplied products to international customers through global distribution networks and overseas retail channels.
The company plans to use the proceeds from its recent investment to expand overseas export channels, accelerate seaweed-based R&D activities, strengthen product development capabilities, and scale its global business operations. The investment reflects confidence in the company's ability to combine seaweed snack products, brand development, content IP, and sustainable food innovation while increasing its presence in international markets.
