A Message from the CEO
The blazing sun,
the vast and verdant plains,
the boundless sky,
and we, the people standing on this earth—
none of these belong to us.
They are all part of the great laws of nature.
With deepest gratitude,
Han Sang-Wook, CEO
Philosophy & Vision


We learn honesty from the great truths of nature, and bow our heads in humility before the laws of ever-changing nature.
Hankook Shinyak Co., Ltd. is a specialized pharmaceutical company that manufactures traditional herbal medicines using oriental medicinal herbs as its main ingredients. Since our establishment in 1961, we have been the first in Korea to produce herbal extract formulas and liquid herbal medicines such as Galgeun-tang, Sipjeondaebo-tang, and Soshiho-tang. Today, we produce and distribute approximately 300 types of pharmaceutical products, including prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, and specialty drugs.
Furthermore, based on the corporate philosophy that the foundation of a company lies in discovering new substances and developing new products through research, Hankook Shinyak, via its affiliated Jagwang Research Institute, has been carrying out numerous research projects — including anticancer and immunomodulatory agents — in collaboration with academia and industry. We are dedicated to developing next-generation oriental medicines by standardizing herbal efficacy and incorporating biotechnology.
In addition, we have completed a GMP-compliant manufacturing plant in Nonsan, Chungnam Province, to meet the environmental and facility standards of the 21st-century global era. With excellent research personnel, advanced production facilities, and product competitiveness, we are now positioned to enhance the efficiency of high-quality pharmaceutical manufacturing through a trinity of innovation, technology, and quality.
