Upon our incorporation, our Company acted as a food trader, channeling the trading goods from suppliers to consumers. The blooming in the wholesale business had directed our Company into food manufacturing industry.
In 1977, our Company imported the Taiwanese instant noodles manufacturing machine, aiming to involve in fast growing instant noodle industry. However, with this high cost, slow, inefficient and highly-labor intensive machine, our Company only managed on keeping a low and flat profit margin.
To reinforce our competitiveness, few major upgrading had incorporated into our Company. Our Company had imported and installed an advance-automated noodles manufacturing plant from Japan. This newly invested machine had reduced the spoilage, increased quality of our noodles dramatically, subsequently, promoting a healthy environment for our Company to grow, expand and develop our brand name in the competitive instant noodles market.
Continually, silos, used for bulk storage of flour, were built-in to further automate our production. By using silos with weighing system, flour can be flowing into mixers constantly, thus improving the quality and reducing the cost of noodles. Other upgrades include advance frying system to lower oil content of our noodles, rapid cooling process, and high-speed packaging technology were introduced gradually throughout the years to replace the old technology.
Nevertheless, the fire occurred on 25th January 1998 had demolished all our efforts in capturing the increasing share of instant noodles market. A new fried-noodles plant was purchased from the Ohtaka Noodle Making Machines, Japan, in order to resume our supply of instant noodles, immediately after the completion of construction of our new factory. We continue our production of air-dried noodles in the following year of recommencement, by installing a new air-dried noodles plant. From there, we are recovering slowly by recapturing our market share, and we are now working towards greater achievement on the sharing of this instant noodles industry.
