Dongwon Home Food announced on September 2 that Geumcheon Meat, its online wholesale meat platform, won the top award in the livestock wholesale platform category at the 2026 Brand of the Year Awards, held on September 1 at The Shilla Seoul in Jung-gu, Seoul. This marks the third consecutive year that Geumcheon Meat has received the award since 2024.

Geumcheon Meat is Korea’s largest online wholesale meat platform, offering approximately 1,000 livestock products, including Korean beef, Korean pork, and imported meat, at competitive prices to a cumulative customer base of 210,000 businesses, including butcher shops and restaurants. The company directly manages the entire process from sourcing and processing to delivery and operates a nationwide next-day refrigerated delivery system to ensure product quality and freshness.

In April, Geumcheon Meat was also ranked No. 1 in the livestock wholesale platform category for the third consecutive year at the 2026 Brand Customer Loyalty Awards, organized by the Korea Consumer Forum. Its strong performance in this latest consumer survey further reinforces its position as Korea’s leading online wholesale meat platform.

Since 2011, Geumcheon Meat has participated in the National Hanwoo Ability Evaluation Competition, hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Korea Animal Improvement Association, and the Hanwoo Association. For 15 consecutive years, the company has successfully secured the President’s Award-winning Hanwoo at auction, contributing to shared growth with Hanwoo farms while providing customers with high-quality sources of protein.

“Geumcheon Meat is honored to receive this award in recognition of the trust we have built with customers through a stable supply chain and differentiated product quality,” said an official from Dongwon Home Food. “We will continue striving to be a trusted partner in the livestock wholesale market.”
