Bbodek operates a tableware rental and cleaning service with three offerings: bbodek Kids (sterilized tableware for daycare/kindergartens), bbodek Biz (dishwashing and rental for restaurants), and bbodek Eco (reusable tableware to replace disposables). The company has an in-house research institute, the Cleantech Center (CTC), and has developed automated cleaning technology and a semiconductor‑grade “vision inspection” system for quality control. These technologies have driven improved profitability by lowering manufacturing and logistics costs and cutting required workers per cleaning line from 14 to 4. Bbodek has surpassed 2,000 customers, including major domestic catering companies and over 10 elementary and middle schools this year, and currently delivers across the metropolitan area via its own logistics network. The company plans to increase R&D spending, hire specialized personnel, and build large-scale cleaning factories to expand service into non-metropolitan areas. Founded in August 2017 and based in South Korea, Bbodek emphasizes automation and data-based process efficiency as core to its growth strategy.
