- Simply drop into boiling water to create a Korean broth base in just three minutes
- Available in Anchovy, Vegetable, and Green Chili
- Versatile for local dishes such as soups and stews in Western markets
SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Daesang's global food brand O'food is introducing three varieties of its compressed seasoning tablets, Coin Broth, designed to make Korean-style soups and stews quick and easy to prepare.
With the global rise of K-Food, Daesang recognized the growing demand among international consumers to cook Korean dishes at home. In response, the company developed a convenient seasoning product that shortens the cooking process while preserving authentic flavors. Coin Broth delivers a deep, rich broth with just a single tablet—eliminating the need to prepare and simmer multiple ingredients for hours. The product has already gained strong traction in the Korean market.
The new line includes three varieties—Anchovy, Vegetable, and Green Chili—rolling out in key Western markets such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. Each tablet is individually packaged for hygienic use and can be dropped into boiling water to create a broth base in just three minutes.
Beyond Korean cuisine, Coin Broth is also versatile for local recipes such as soups and stews. The savory Anchovy variant pairs well with oil-based pasta dishes; the clean-tasting Vegetable version complements vegetable soups and couscous; and the Green Chili flavor, made with Korean Cheongyang chili peppers for a refreshing kick, adds a spicy note to seafood stews or pasta dishes.
Seung-in Jung, Head of Global Planning & Marketing at Daesang, stated, "With the worldwide K-wave driving more consumers to cook Korean food at home, we are proud to introduce a seasoning product tailored for global markets. As a comprehensive global food company, Daesang will continue to expand O'food's portfolio to reflect diverse tastes and trends, making Korean cuisine more approachable and enjoyable for consumers worldwide."

Daesang's Global Food Brand O'food Launches Three Varieties of Coin Broth
Transaction Enhances MRO Scale, AOG Readiness, and Lubricants Market Leadership
ARLINGTON, Texas, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GracoRoberts (gracoroberts.com) today announced the acquisition of Sky Mart (skymart.aero) to advance its international footprint in Latin America, leveraging the company's corporate headquarters in Miami as a gateway to the aerospace-rich Latin American region. The acquisition significantly bolsters GracoRoberts' reach into the $6.5B Latin American MRO market, scales its AOG capability, and offers its customers access to a considerable breadth of in-stock lubricants, amplifying the acquirer's already sound position as the largest, fastest, and most technically focused aerospace specialty chemicals distributor in the world.
The addition of Sky Mart to the GracoRoberts' portfolio expands its technical sales coverage throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, Florida, and portions of the US, while adding an additional 42,000 square feet of fulfillment centers in Miami, FL, San Antonio, TX, and Indianapolis, IN, and offering a rich stocking position for oils, greases, and fluids. Additionally, Sky Mart customers will benefit from access to GracoRoberts' extensive breadth of adhesives, composites, paints and coatings, a robust ecommerce presence for immediate product access, and a global technical sales team. These enhancements, coupled with a mutual focus on world-class quality, will add meaningful value to both companies' customer and supplier partners.
Jason Caldwell, President and CEO of GracoRoberts, commented on the acquisition. "We are thrilled to welcome the team from Sky Mart to the GracoRoberts' family of companies. This partnership strengthens our ability to serve the global aerospace community, especially in the important Latin America and Miami markets, with an enhanced stocking position, broader product offerings, and a scalable bolt-on ecommerce presence and AOG platform for an industry that requires speed and dependability."
Juan Gregorio Robbin, Co-Founder and President of Sky Mart, also commented on the integration, and the decision to partner with GracoRoberts after four decades of family-owned operation. "At Sky Mart, our operating philosophy is simple and unwavering: stock the right products, deliver exceptional service, and get it right the first time. This guiding principle has earned us the trust of a loyal Latin and North American customer base, and by joining the GracoRoberts' family, we can deliver even more value to our customers."
Ana Maria Robbin, Co-Owner and Executive Vice President of Sky Mart, offered her perspective on the acquisition. "2025 marked Sky Mart's 40th year in a business founded by our parents – our heroes – Gregorio and Lucy Robbin. They raised us to believe in the power of a vision, endless determination, and a deep spirit of service that defines our culture today, and I see these qualities in the team at GracoRoberts. I know the Sky Mart legacy will be upheld with care and purpose."
The leaders of both companies will collaborate to deliver a seamless, customer-focused transition that preserves each organization's culture and ensures no disruption to the business.
