[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] Harim Holdings will carry out a paid-in capital increase worth KRW 30 billion to Harim food. Harim Holdings also made a paid-in capital increase of 30 billion won in February this year to raise funds for the operation of Harim food.

Currently, Harim food is setting up a logistics center in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do, along with the food business. Harim Holdings briefly replied that the capital increase was aimed at raising operating funds.

According to the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) on the 26th, Harim Holdings announced on the 25th that it decided to increase shareholder allocation. The investment amounted to 30 billion won. Harim Holdings also invested 30 billion won in Harim food on February 14. It raised 60 billion won this year alone.

Harim food is actively expanding into the food business following the real estate industry. It has invested 520 billion won over five years to establish the "First Kitchen Factory," a food production outpost, in Iksan, North Jeolla Province, and to expand its brand in earnest.

In fact, Harim Industrial recorded an operating loss of 86.8 billion won last year. Sales reached 46.1 billion won, up 112.7 percent from 21.7 billion won a year earlier, but operating losses rose 27.9 billion won from 58.9 billion won a year earlier.

Despite this situation, Harim seems to continue to invest heavily in Harim industry. Harim Industrial is building an online logistics center at its first kitchen plant, where it plans to create an "D2C platform" that can be delivered immediately when consumers order. Through this, we plan to enter the logistics industry.

The online logistics center will be removed to a size of about 24,000㎡ with the aim of completing it within this year.
