From amongst the ruins of the Korean war, CJ built a sugar mill and finally succeeded in domestic sugar production on November 1953. This opened up the path to replace sugar importation. While there was extreme insufficiency of food, Cheil Jedang supplied sugar at low cost to drastically improve the dietary life of Korean people. In response to improvements in the standard of living and changes in food consumption patterns, CJ expanded the key product groups to include processed food items, such as beverages and frozen foods, in the 1980s. In addition, CJ secured several key advanced technologies and therefore entered the fields of pharmaceutical business. In 1990, CJ embarked upon overseas market entry full-scale by building lysine and synthetic seasoning plant in Indonesia. In the 1990s, CJ achieved transition from a food company to a life and culture group. This was the phase of conversion and growth. Prior to being spun off from the Samsung Group, CJ pursued business diversification through pharmaceutical, bio and chemistry fields. Since 1993 in which independent management began, CJ entered food service and visual industries. The expansion of business fields continued on during the period from 1999 to the earlier part of the 2000s. In the midst of these efforts, CJ underwent rapid and diverse changes not comparable to those of the past. In particular, during this period, CJ centralized business fields into 4 core business groups, such as food and food service, bio pharma, entertainment and media and home shopping and logistics. Based on core capabilities of each business field, CJ is actively promoting overseas market entry in all industries. Therefore, CJ is advancing as a global enterprise that provides the world with health, enjoyment and convenience.
