JMC is committed to sustainability in all we do. This video highlights the systems and processes we have in place to protect our products, people, customers and our environment.

JMC wishes to address the announcement by the WHO IARC to classify aspartame as a “possible carcinogen”.

As a manufacturer of saccharin, a widely used artificial sweetener, JMC supports our partners who provide artificially sweetened food, drink, medicines, and oral care products. These products are a way for consumers to minimise sugar consumption.

As a chemical company, JMC supports the evidence-based assessment of the safety of all products. We note that the studies cited by the IARC apply only to aspartame. Saccharin is one of the most widely studied chemicals in history and has been safely used for over 140 years. Saccharin has been certified as safe for human consumption by the WHO, the US FDA and many other food safety regulators. As the producer of the world’s highest quality saccharin, we are confident that products made using materials from JMC are safe.

JMC recently contributed to the annual cleanup of the Dongcheon river in Onyang-eup, Ulsan. This project is part of the “1 River 1 Cleaner” Campaign. JMC has been an important partner in the preservation and activation of the ecosystem of the Ulsan region’s rivers for more than 10 years. Staff from JMC have been carrying out voluntary environmental cleanup activities, collecting about 2,000 kg of waste last year alone.

As part of our normal operations, JMC uses sustainable processes that do not harm the environment and strictly monitors and controls the disposal of all waste in compliance with government regulations. JMC will continue to fulfill its social responsibility and practice sustainable management.

On 12/8, JMC CEO Jung Won-sik received the Ulsan Mayor’s Commendation Award for Outstanding Investment in 2022 in recognition of JMC’s ADPOS Facility Investment.

CPHI, the world’s largest international convention on pharmaceutical intermediates, was held in Frankfurt, Germany from November 1-3, 2022.

Due to the pandemic, this was the first in-person CPHI exhibition for 3 years. JMC participated in the exhibition to revitalize networks of existing customers and promote its products. JMC’s key message was that JMC manufactures the “World’s Highest Quality Saccharin”. This message was conveyed through videos on two large screens in the booth and brochures were distributed in printed form and electronically via QR codes. 

Many customers confirmed that they were concerned about the increased volatility of the global market environment and supply chain risks. JMC emphasised reliable supply as one of its key strengths.

Participation in this exhibition not only helped JMC understand market trends and activities of competitors, but also helped build a network with related companies and develop new business prospects. Despite the rapidly changing global business environment, JMC would like to continue to create new opportunities based on innovative manufacturing technologies and cement its reputation as a reliable, high quality supplier to the global market.

JMC will be exhibiting at CPhI Worldwide 2022. This event is being held in Frankfurt, Germany from November 1-3. This is the first CPhI Worldwide show to be held in-person since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The JMC team is looking forward to reconnecting with customers from around the world.

Throughout the pandemic, JMC’s factories have remained open at all times and production has continued without interuptions. This has enabled JMC to cement its reputation as a reliable supplier of the world’s highest quality saccharin.

As part of its Green New Deal the Korean Government has initiated a project to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to develop eco-friendly manufacturing systems. KISCO Group, of which JMC is a subsidiary, was one of 30 companies selected for support in 2021. In this report on the progress of the project, KISCO is described as “the most exemplary company” in the program.

The factory improvements are in four areas:

• Installation of a new thermal oxidizer (TO) facility to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds. Waste heat from this process is also captured and re-used. This led to a reduction in some emissions of 99% and a saving of around 50% in heating costs.
• Installation of insulation to factory exterior walls to improve thermal insulation and add flame retardancy.
• Installation of rainwater tanks. The factory is now capturing up to 80 cubic metres of rainwater that is being re-used.
• Installation of a smart monitoring system to collect real-time data on emissions and environmental parameters. This will enable further improvements in efficiencies.

KISCO Group CEO, Sung Yong Cho said that “I have always been concerned about the treatment of volatile organic compounds generated in the process of operating a chemical manufacturing business. I would like to express my gratitude to the Ministry of Environment and the Korea Environment Corporation for actively solving these problems that small and medium-sized enterprises are struggling with through the smart, eco-factory construction project. We will take the lead as an eco-friendly company through continuous improvement efforts.”
