About Us
Wando Abalone Co., Ltd., a company selected by Korea's Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, specializes in the distribution and processing of farm-raised abalone products. Wando Abalone Co., Ltd. was jointly founded by 1,200 fishermen in Wando, which is home to more than 80% of Korea’s farmed abalones and Wando-gun (local government) in Jeollanam-do. It is
growing as a company specialized in distribution and processing of live abalones and production of abalone products that supply not only excellent quality live abalones but also high-value-added

2015, we have been actively exporting various abalone processed products, including canned abalones, quick-frozen products, etc., to various countries around the world. Also in the domestic market, we are reaching our customers by developing various products, such as convenience foods,
that can satisfy the needs of customers. Furthermore, we are trying to continuously play a pivotal role that expands and develops the infinite
value of abalones, a future fishery food resource.
