Birth of CTK as a Specialized Cosmetic Packaging Company

The Origins of CTK

CTK traces its roots back to 1979 with the establishment of Taega Trading, founded by the father of CEO Ian Chung. The company earned early recognition for its superior quality in aluminum containers, which were essential to the Korean cosmetics industry. Taega Trading’s commitment to quality control built the solid foundation upon which CTK stands today.
