Established in 1991, Fullerton-based Pulmuone Foods USA is a wholly owned affiliate of Pulmuone Foods Co., Ltd., a Korean holding company with more than 1.8 trillion KRW ($1.5 billion) in annual sales. The company’s U.S. portfolio includes the Monterey Gourmet Foods brand of pastas and sauces and the Wildwood brand of meat alternatives, salsas, hummus and dairy alternatives.

“Pulmuone now has a strong national platform and presence that will not only drive manufacturing and logistics synergies but will also enable us to leverage a comprehensive sales and distribution infrastructure to further drive availability of our brands and products within the U.S.A.,” said H.Y. Lee, chief executive officer of Pulmuone Foods Co., Ltd. “This expanded business scale within the U.S.A. market will also be the beachhead to drive development and growth of Pulmuone beyond the tofu category.”
