Nongshim has begun full-scale operations at the Noksan plant in Busan, its first facility built exclusively for exports, with production starting on the 29th of the previous month. Three high-speed lines currently produce 500 million ramyun packs annually, while the six-story site is designed to expand from three lines to eight. Automation, AI sensors and autonomous mobile robots support production, and product changeover time has fallen from two hours to 30 minutes, raising production efficiency by 17.6%. The facility will serve as a forward base for supplying Nongshim’s flagship products and is intended to help the company reach 7.3 trillion won ($5.0 billion) in revenue by 2030, with overseas sales exceeding 60%. Products will initially serve Europe, Japan and Australia before expanding to India, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Soupless products including Shin Ramyun Toomba are becoming a growth pillar, while global sales of Shin Ramyun Rose are planned for the first quarter of next year.
