Korea Presence
A Korea office without a Korea hire: local representation, entity setup, staff recruitment and day-to-day operation for overseas companies.
Your Korea Office and Sourcing Partner — Without a Korea Hire
Local representation, branch setup and day-to-day operation for overseas companies — plus Korean cosmetics, hair care, food and materials sourcing, checked in person.
KOREA PRESENCE & SOURCING
Aons Connect works for overseas companies doing business with Korea. We act as your local presence in Korea, and we find and check the Korean manufacturers you need: cosmetics and hair care, food and beverage, and industrial materials.
Cosmetics & Hair Care
Korean cosmetics and hair care OEM and ODM. We shortlist factories that fit your formula, volume and market, check them in person and manage samples through to production.
Food & Beverage
Korean food and beverage producers matched to your market, with tasting programs, product selection and export coordination.
Industrial Materials & Pipes
Copper, stainless steel and brass pipes and alloys, plus semiconductor- and defense-grade specialty materials from Korean producers.
SUPPORT
Project Coordination
One point of contact between you and the Korean manufacturer, from specification and samples to production follow-up, supplier audits and customer meetings on your behalf.
Interpretation
Korean-English business interpreting for meetings, negotiations and factory visits, by professional interpreters rather than translation software.
Logistics
Export documents, packaging checks and shipping coordination, with clear updates until your goods arrive.
Visual Content Production
Product photography and brand video produced in Korea, from planning and shooting to editing, for your website, catalogues and social channels.
ABOUT US
Your company in Korea, run by people who are here.
Aons Connect is a Korean registered business based in Goyang, just outside Seoul. We act as the local presence in Korea for overseas companies that need sourcing, supplier management and on-the-ground support.
Many tasks cannot be handled remotely. Customer visits, factory meetings, sample collection, production follow-up and issue resolution all require someone on the ground, working in Korean business hours.
That is the difference between having a local representative and simply receiving introductions.

Why a one-person branch usually disappoints
The maths looks simple from abroad. One salary, one desk, one point of contact in Korea. In practice the person spends most of their week on things that are not sales: bank paperwork, tax filings, translating documents, chasing a supplier, arranging a visit.
And there is no cover. When they are ill, travelling or leave the company, your Korea operation stops. Recruiting a replacement from abroad, in a language you do not read, takes months.
Using us, you get a team rather than a person, an office that already exists, and continuity that does not depend on one individual staying. If the volume later justifies your own entity and staff, we set that up too.
