London, United Kingdom, Jan. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rapid Nutrition PLC (Euronext Growth: ALRPD, OTCQB: RPNRF), a natural healthcare company focused on sports nutrition, diet management and life sciences products continues to increase its worldwide distribution, with the expansion of its global distribution of its organic health and wellness products SystemLS throughout South Korea with the support of new partner SM Trading, a division of Ilshin World Corporation.

With its focus on serving as the leading distributor of imported products to South Korea, Ilshin’s company-owned warehouses enable top-notch logistics and distribution. Established in 2000, Ilshin exclusively represents brands from across the globe.

“We are incredibly pleased with the way our senior management team continues to execute on our global expansion strategy and deliver on key milestones,” said Rapid Nutrition CEO Simon St. Ledger. “Likewise, we appreciate the expertise that Ilshin World Corporation has throughout South Korea and are pleased to welcome this new partner and new global opportunity as South Korea is showing strong interest in the organic health category.”

The South Korean health and wellness market continues to project upward; the country reported sales value of health and wellness products in 2018 at nearly U.S. $8 billion. The global COVID-19 pandemic further sparked interest and sales of organic products in South Korea.
