Huons BioPharma was recognized for its contribution to globalizing Korean pharmaceuticals by securing product registrations for its botulinum toxin ‘HUTOX^®‘ with health authorities in 15 countries, including Thailand, Iraq and Colombia, and achieving exports of approximately 9 million dollars (around 13.2 billion KRW) over the past year.

Huons N has been strengthening its presence in the global health and functional food market through Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) and Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) partnerships. Huons N has expanded exports to more than 14 countries across North America, Asia and Europe, leveraging differentiated competitive strengths such as proprietarily developed individually recognized functional food ingredients and unique dosage forms such as spout pouches. In addition, Huons N has recently acquired the health functional food manufacturer Biorosette to further enhance its core OEM and ODM capabilities and stably respond to rapidly increasing global export demand.

PanGen Biotech achieved exports of 3 million dollars with its erythropoietin (EPO) biosimilar products and received an Export Tower in recognition of this performance. The company currently exports its EPO pharmaceuticals to five countries, including Malaysia, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and Thailand, and plans to further expand into the Middle East and Africa while increasing overall sales.

In addition, Huons BioPharma’s CEO, Dr. Kim Yeong-mok received a commendation from the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy as an exemplary export contributor, acknowledging his role in advancing Korea’s export performance.

CEO of Huons BioPharma, Dr. Kim Yeong-mok stated, "This award is regarded as the result of our strategic decision to establish an overseas sales division upon Huons BioPharma`s founding in 2021, enabling sustained efforts in developing global markets. Moving forward, we remain committed to maintaining our strong export growth momentum, enhancing our competitive edge in the global market, and further solidifying our position as a leading player in the healthcare industry.”
