Does anyone know the name of the Korean Company referenced in the following article that ECOS and Lakeshore Recycling visited?

See the following straight from the Waste Advantage website:
https://wasteadvantagemag.com/in-the-spotlight-lakeshore-recycling-systems-an-industry-game-changer/

Handley emphasizes that the organic recycling process is still in its infancy in Chicago and is a burgeoning business model that he and his team will continue to explore. Handley and other members of the LRS executive management team will visit South Korea this summer to look at new organic recycling technologies being rolled out in varied commercial applications. Handley added that one company his team will be visiting owns 65 commercial sites in South Korea operating on an industrial scale. This company produced smaller units for LRS to work with, and preliminary testing shows great promise. The larger commercial units take in 15 tons of MSW food scrap/material and process it down to just three tons of organic compost in less than 24 hours. Comparatively, Lakeshore controls more than 100 tons of food waste per day from stores, markets, food manufacturers or large restaurant or hotels. “We plan to go a step further and keep this material onsite and to put it through this composting system. By doing so, we hope to create over 30 tons of compost a day and keep 100 tons of food waste out of landfills. If we marketed this composting model in Chicagoland, we strongly believe the amount of food waste we could control would grow significantly above the 100 tons a day that we control today.”
