About Us

It evolved from a problem

K-Beauty Connect began with a problem. When COVID-19 brought international beauty exhibitions to a halt, buyers and suppliers could no longer meet face-to-face. So we built a bridge, a platform where global buyers and Korean beauty manufacturers could still connect, collaborate, and create new opportunities.

But what started as a digital matchmaking service quickly evolved.

We realized that our greatest value lay in supporting international buyers through the often complex and confusing world of Korean contract manufacturing.

Today, K-Beauty Connect offers end-to-end contract manufacturing services in Korea, from product development to packaging and delivery.

Because we believe:

Contract manufacturing in Korea shouldn’t be stressful.

As your local partner on the ground, we make sure your products are delivered with:

Satisfactory quality,
On time,
and Within budget.
