1. Exhibition Overview

Seoul Food & Hotel 2026, the 44th edition of South Korea’s most influential UFI-certified food and hospitality industry exhibition, successfully concluded from June 9 to June 12 at KINTEX Exhibition Center in Goyang. Co-organized by KOTRA and Informa Markets, this annual flagship event ranks among Asia’s top four food industry trade shows, covering an exhibition area of 76,121 square meters. It gathered over 1,800 global exhibitors and more than 45,000 verified professional buyers from 35 countries, covering food processing, hotel supplies, and food packaging sectors.

As a professional manufacturer of food-grade ETP tinplate packaging components, HJ GROUP actively participated in this prestigious exhibition. We focused on displaying high-performance tinplate packaging products tailored to the Korean market, aiming to solve core packaging pain points for local food manufacturers and expand long-term cooperative channels in Northeast Asia.

2. High-Quality Tinplate Product Lineup on Display

Targeting the mainstream product characteristics and strict food safety standards of the Korean food industry, HJ GROUP brought a full range of customized tinplate can ends, covering canned seafood, fermented condiments, fruit beverages, and nutritional powder packaging scenarios. All products adopt non-toxic food-grade coatings, featuring acid resistance, oil resistance, leakproof sealing, and anti-oxidation performance, fully compliant with Korean food contact material regulations.

2.1 Professional Easy Open Ends for Condiment and Seafood Cans

We exhibited star-grade food grade tinplate easy open ends including 202E 52mm and 214E 70mm models. The 202E 52mm easy open ends are specially designed for Korean fermented chili sauce and spicy condiment cans, with upgraded anti-acid and oil-proof inner lacquer to avoid coating peeling and metal corrosion caused by long-term contact with fermented ingredients. The 214E 70mm models are exclusive for braised hairtail and oily canned seafood, effectively resisting gravy erosion and extending the shelf life of preserved seafood products.

2.2 Precision Bottom Ends for Beverage and Nutritional Powder Packaging

For healthy beverage and nutritional supplement packaging demands, we displayed 207D 60mm and 603# 153mm metal can bottom lids. The 207D 60mm tinplate bottom ends feature excellent fruit acid resistance, perfectly matching fruit milkshakes and fresh fruit smoothies packaging, preventing chemical reactions between acidic drinks and metal materials. The large-size 603# 153mm bottom ends adopt a high-density sealing structure, which is dust-proof and moisture-proof, ideal for calcium supplement powder and healthcare granule packaging to ensure product storage safety.

3. On-Site Communication and Valuable Market Insights

During the four-day exhibition, HJ GROUP’s booth attracted continuous visits from Korean local canned food factories, condiment brands, beverage processing enterprises, and professional packaging importers. Most buyers pointed out that traditional metal packaging lids on the market often suffer from poor corrosion resistance and unstable sealing, leading to product deterioration and increased packaging costs.

Our technical and sales teams conducted one-on-one in-depth communication with every visiting buyer. We demonstrated the superior performance of our customized anti-corrosion coating and precise crimping technology, and provided targeted packaging solutions according to customers’ product formulas, production line parameters, and shelf life requirements. Multiple Korean food enterprises confirmed sample testing intentions on-site and arranged subsequent technical docking and quotation negotiations.

In addition to Korean domestic clients, we also received high-quality inquiries from professional buyers in Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia, laying a foundation for expanding Southeast Asian metal packaging markets.

4. Core Advantages Recognized by Global Buyers

Compared with ordinary packaging products, HJ GROUP’s tinplate can ends have gained wide recognition in the Korean market for three core advantages. First, strict food safety standards, all raw materials and coatings pass international food-grade testing, adapting to South Korea’s stringent food packaging supervision system. Second, scenario-based customized performance, targeted optimization for acidic, oily, and powdered food packaging scenarios to solve industry pain points. Third, reliable supply capacity, supported by fully automated production lines, we can support flexible MOQ, fast mass production, and short-cycle sea freight delivery to South Korea.

5. Future Market Layout

Seoul Food & Hotel 2026 has built a solid bridge for HJ GROUP to deeply cultivate the Korean and Northeast Asian markets. In the next stage, we will further optimize product formulas according to on-site customer feedback, launch exclusive tinplate packaging solutions for Korean characteristic canned food, fermented condiments, and healthy drinks.
