Happy Enzyme – a highly successful launch of a probiotic product

Happy Enzyme is a Korean company, focusing on selling dietary supplements on TV shopping channels. In 2013 Happy Enzyme launched their first product, containing probiotics from Chr. Hansen. Within the very first year the probiotic product was a huge and legendary success. Essential factors for the tremendous success were Chr. Hansen’s high reliability and excellent probiotic expertise built up over many years as well as Happy Enzyme’s knowledge of the Korean market, resulting in a carefully targeted launch strategy that worked out extremely well.
