Daekyo Newf announced on July 31 that it has signed a business agreement with food tech platform Foodpang to actively pursue its senior care food business.
The signing ceremony, held on July 30 at Daekyo Tower in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, was attended by Daekyo Newf CEO Kim Kyung-ho and Foodpang CEO Gong Kyung-yul, along with officials from both organizations. Through this agreement, the two companies aim to enhance their competitiveness in the senior food sector by combining Daekyo Newf's operational capabilities in senior care services with Foodpang's expertise in food distribution.
Based on this collaboration, Daekyo Newf plans to gradually implement several initiatives, including establishing a stable supply chain for high-quality ingredients, providing customized meal services to Daekyo Newf's long-term care facilities nationwide, and jointly developing and commercializing senior-friendly food products.
This partnership aims to refine care food services that consider seniors' health conditions and nutritional needs, creating an integrated senior food service that encompasses everything from meal provision to food development.
Both organizations will continuously strengthen the quality competitiveness of senior dietary services and explore new business models that can respond to the evolving senior-friendly food market and consumer demands.
Additionally, Daekyo Newf will collaborate with Kyung Hee University's Age Tech Research Institute to conduct research aimed at systematic meal planning based on geriatric nutrition and the enhancement of care food services.
Earlier this year, Daekyo Newf announced plans to introduce a visiting senior care model called 'Integrated Senior Care (Cognitive + Physical) Service' in February. This service combines cognitive enhancement learning with physical activities in a one-on-one visiting program, designed to allow seniors to engage in daily activities, experience achievements, and prevent frailty.
A representative from Daekyo Newf stated, "In an ultra-aged society, the importance of preventive health management through healthy eating is becoming increasingly significant. With this collaboration, we plan to organically link care food and life care services to provide more specialized and differentiated senior life care services to our senior customers."
