International Perspective: Mutual Empowerment to Boost Global Branding
Amid globalization, Chinese enterprises are advancing globally with products as the foundation, brands as the wings, and culture as the soul. Within this framework, HEC Group is building a health ecosystem that bridges tradition and modernity, domestic and international markets, with Cordyceps sinensis at its core.
As a national health brand with global reach, HEC Cordyceps has steadily advanced its international strategy—partnering with the Boao Forum for Asia, appearing at high-level platforms such as the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum, and hosting the Summit Forum on Cordyceps Brand Internationalization to engage leading experts on global development.

They will drive joint marketing, co-branded products, and expansion in China and abroad, further enhancing both brands’ global influence.

Leveraging advanced deep-processing technology, the Group is developing “Cordyceps+” products aligned with global wellness trends—such as Whitening Drinks and Lung-Clearing Powder—reinterpreting traditional tonics for diverse cultural needs.
Through its partnership with JungKwanJang, HEC Group will integrate world-leading Cordyceps breeding with red ginseng deep-processing technology to create a new generation of functional health products—another forward-looking step in its “Cordyceps+” strategy.
Looking ahead, HEC Group will expand its portfolio, modernize traditional tonics, and accelerate the globalization of Eastern wellness through premium Cordyceps products and services. Singapore, as HEC Group’s regional hub, will see the opening of its flagship store at the iconic Marina Bay Sands in 2026. This milestone underscores the Group’s ambition to expand its global footprint in health & wellness.
