Everything began in a small yet humble 16.5 square meter granola and yogurt shop you see in the photo above. In 2018, TotesOats started in Gwanghwamun, Seoul to provide healthy yet delicious premium yogurt and granola to our customers. Growing through relentless effort and passion, TotesOats moved to Myeongdong and launched an online store in 2020 to reach more customers. In 2024, to achieve even greater growth, we transitioned to a corporation and named the corporate entity Lanswers Inc. Oru products are available in Shinsegae, Hyundai, Galleria, and AK department stores, becoming a nationally recognized brand.
Since the second half of 2024, Lanswers has been actively preparing for entry into the global market. In August, the company was selected as a participant in the Y-Trade Export Consultation hosted by Yongin City, establishing and maintaining a strong relationship with a U.S.-based buyer, DAOM.
In November of the same year, Lanswers was selected for the Japan Market Exploration Delegation, co-hosted by the Gyeonggi-do Business and Science Accelerator and Yongin City. During this program, the team traveled to Osaka and Tokyo to meet with local buyers and successfully signed MOUs with two local companies. This included completing sample exports, signaling a focused effort to expand into the Japanese market.
Additionally, Lanswers was chosen for KOTRA's K-Snack Online Platform Support Project, leading to a sample export agreement with Shanghai Minglai, one of the vendors for TEMU's parent company, Pinduoduo. Lanswers also participated in digital trade consultations to foster collaboration with Chinese buyers, demonstrating its commitment to expanding its export footprint.
Through these efforts, Lanswers and its granola brand, TotesOats, are steadily growing into a global brand beyond South Korea.
