DEVELOPMENT MILESTONES
Before the establishment of Vedan(Vietnam) Enterprise Corporation Limited in
August 1991, the MSG products of Taiwan Vedan had been distributed in Vietnam
through various importers, who were Independent Third Parties. In 1989, Taiwan
Vedan commenced feasibility studies on establishing production facilities in
Vietnam for the production of fermentation-based food additive and biochemical
products in Vietnam. Following completion of the feasibility studies, a formal
application for investment in Vietnam was submitted to the Vietnamese
government in October 1990.
Vietnam
In August 1991, the Vietnamese government issued an investment licence to
Vedan(Vietnam) Enterprise Corporation Limited referring to the right to use the
land currently used by the Phuoc Thai Complex.
During the period between August 1991 and August 1994, we started to design and
construct the integrated production facilities at the Phuoc Thai Complex, which
included a MSG production plant, a starch production plant, a specialty
chemical product plant, co-generation power plants, a waste treatment plant, a
water purifying plant and private port facilities that can receive foreign
vessels of up to 12,000 dwt. The construction of all these production and
