[EY Entrepreneur of the Year] Pioneering Eco-Friendly Pigments for Global Markets

Wooshin Pigment is a South Korean company specializing in the production of pigments—powdered colorants used in a wide range of products, including inks, paints, cosmetics, and more. The company imports raw materials exclusively from LANXESS, a leading German specialty chemicals company, ensuring high-quality inputs for its products.

With a client base of over 500 domestic and international companies, Wooshin Pigment holds a commanding 40–50% share of the South Korean pigment market, maintaining its position as the market leader.

CEO Jang Sung-sook’s journey is a testament to resilience and innovation. Starting her career in 1975 as a bookkeeper at a pigment company, she taught herself the intricacies of the pigment market by managing inventory firsthand.
