- Taiwan Fertilizer Co., Ltd. (1722.TW) manufactures and sells inorganic and organic fertilizers, chemical products, and electronic-grade chemicals primarily in Taiwan, the Middle East, and internationally. Founded in 1946 and headquartered in Taipei's Nangang District, the company operates factories in Keelung, Miaoli, Hualien, and Taichung; it produces core fertilizer products including ammonium sulphate (21-0-0), urea (46-0-0), single super phosphate (0-18-0), potassium chloride (0-0-60), potassium sulfate organic compound fertilizers such as #36 (7-21-21) and Baulijia (5-5-25-5 O.M.), nitrophosphate organic series like "HeyWon" #43 (15-15-15-2 MgO-8 O.M.), biotec organic compound fertilizers including #101 (20-5.5-10-10 O.M.), instant water-soluble fertilizers such as #43 (15-15-15-4 MgO), biopower stimulants, microbial and micronutrient fertilizers, and acidic soil conditioners; chemical offerings encompass nitric acid, sulfuric acid, sulfamic acid, industrial urea, melamine, anhydrous ammonia, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and electronic-grade products like photoresist strippers and solvents; the company also engages in real estate development, deep ocean water and biotechnology ventures, and gas station operations. Taiwan Fertilizer privatized in 1999 with a listing on the Taiwan Stock Exchange and expanded into electronic chemicals in 2001. In September 2024, it signed a memorandum of understanding with Hoku Energy to develop a green ammonia and hydrogen value chain, supporting Taiwan's net-zero emissions target by 2050; the firm plans green ammonia storage tanks and an ammonia-hydrogen cracking plant at its Taichung facility as part of its fifth clean energy business pillar, alongside ongoing real estate projects in former factory sites including Hsinchu science park and Kaohsiung's Asia New Bay District.
