Founded in 1936, Kimlan Foods is one of Taiwan’s most established brands of naturally brewed soy sauce. The company was founded by Mr. Fan Chung, who studied traditional fermentation techniques in Japan and refined them to suit the local Taiwanese palate. This foundation set Kimlan apart for its authenticity and commitment to quality.
In 1970, the company was officially renamed "Kimlan Foods Co., Ltd." and expanded into a diversified product portfolio including soy paste, BBQ sauces, and other condiments. Kimlan became the first food company in Taiwan to receive GMP certification and is now the largest soy sauce manufacturer in the country. All Kimlan products undergo a 28-step brewing process and over 50 quality control checks. The company strictly adheres to a 100% naturally brewed process with no concentrated soy sauce bases, ensuring food safety and consistent product quality.
Guided by the spirit of craftsmanship and a mission to “pass on the flavor of generations,” Kimlan continues to prioritize quality and integrity as its core values. The company invests heavily in innovation, health-conscious production, sustainable practices, automation, and global marketing. In recent years, Kimlan has expanded its reach across Asia, Japan, Europe, and the Americas, sharing the authentic taste of Taiwan with the world.
