SPC Group

In 1945, Hur Chang-sung started a small confectionery outfit named Sangmidang. In 1959 the business was renamed to Samlip. A couple of years later, Samlip began to produce bread and biscuits. His business was aligned with government policies. Their first product was a cream-filled pastry. Samlip's quality was high for sales in US military camps. In the late 1960s, there were many competitors including Koryo Dang Bakery, Tae Geuk Dang, and New York Bakery. In 1972, Hur set up another arm called Shany to specialize in High-end cakes. Eventually, Hur's son, Hur Young-in oversaw Shany's operation and took over the Samlip group. Labour-related issues Employment of bakers In September 2017, SPC was found to have illegally dispatched 5,000 bakers who were hired through partner firms by the Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL). These bakers were instructed directly by SPC Group. Such employment practices usually helped the company involved to reduce hiring costs as they would not need to give these dispatched labor benefits such as paid vacation or health insurance. MOEL directed SPC Group to employ the bakers directly, but , the group has yet to resolve the issue, having not implemented an agreement under which the 5,000 bakers would be employed by a 51-percent-owned subsidiary. The company did so as the Ministry only initially ordered a suspension of work on the mixer. Operations on the production floor were suspended the following day after the Ministry recommended further action. On October 24, 2022, it was revealed that the group had more than 100 industrial accidents per year lodged with the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency since 2019. ==Subsidiaries==
