Ottogi Co, Ltd. is a South Korean packaged food company headquartered in Daechi-dong Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and Pyeongchon-dong, Dongan-gu, Anyang, Gyeonggi-do. The company was originally established under the name Pung-Lim Foods Company Ltd. in June 1971. It later changed its name in June 1980 to the current one, Ottogi Foods Co., Ltd. The name came from the non-standard form of a pure Korean word "ottug-i (오뚝이)," meaning a "tumbler."
