Business
Sesoda Corporation (1708.TW) manufactures and markets specialty chemicals, primarily focusing on potassium sulfate, hydrochloric acid, and liquid calcium chloride, alongside importing and distributing soda ash, baking soda, flake calcium chloride, ammonium bicarbonate, dicalcium phosphate, potassium chloride, solar salt, liquid caustic soda, hydrogen peroxide, Glauber's salt, barium chloride, and sodium sesquicarbonate. The company operates through four segments including chemical products, shipping via owned vessel leasing, truck freight for internal product transportation, and catering through food wholesale and Japanese restaurant operations such as Michelin one-star Ken AnHo under Yukari Group Co Ltd. Founded in 1957 as South East Soda Mfg Co Ltd and renamed Sesoda Corporation in 2001, it maintains headquarters at 23F, No 99, Section 2, Dunhua South Road, Taipei City, Taiwan, with production facilities in Suao, Changhua, and Taichung primarily serving domestic markets and select international customers in agriculture, electronics, optoelectronics, wastewater treatment, cement production, and food sectors. Recent developments include obtaining Large Corporations Leading Small Business Projects certification and renewing ISO 14001 environmental and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety certifications for the Suao main factory in October 2024, valid through 2027. In 2022, the Suao facility secured ISO 14064-1 greenhouse gas verification; production expansions continued with the thirteenth and fourteenth potassium sulfate lines completed in 2019, eleventh and twelfth lines in 2015-2016, and earlier granular SOP capacity additions from 2004-2011. Strategic moves encompass full ownership of Zai Feng Auto Transportation in 2018 for integrated logistics, investment in Yukari Group in 2014 supporting restaurant growth, establishment of Taichung factory and storage expansions in 2007, and historical technology transfers from Swedish Boliden for calcium products in 1987 and potassium sulfate/hydrochloric acid in 1984.
