The pioneer team is comprised of 10 companies and city officials from the Wonju area, including Anywood, and plans to actively promote the U.S. market through face-to-face export consultations with local buyers in New York. The purpose of this is to expand opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses in Wonju to enter the U.S. market.

Prior to dispatching this pioneering team, Wonju City visited Vietnam in the first half of this year to introduce the excellent products of Wonju companies to local buyers and concluded an export contract worth $1.1 million. We are expecting similar results from this mission to the United States.

A city official said, “Currently, Korean food and cosmetics are gaining great popularity in the United States, and Wonju City will actively promote local excellent manufacturers and producers to ensure that they do not fall behind.” He added, “We will solidify our entry into the U.S. market. “We will do our best with the goal of achieving Wonju’s exports of $1.5 billion,” he said.
