KOUBEN BIOTECHNICAL ALCOHOL MANUFACTURING CO.,LTD.

Kouben Pharmaceutical Inc. was established in the 1970s, holding a long history with good credibility. In the early stage, we mainly engaged in the manufacturing and selling of various kinds of western medicine. Later, as the economy of Taiwan began to bloom, more and more Taiwanese loved to taste wine; therefore, we predicted that in the future, there would be considerable development in the wine business. Likewise, from 1990 on, we began our venture in the research, development, and production of herb medicine wine and high class liquor. In 1994, we purchased the new site at 12 Feng Ping 2nd Road, Ta Liao Township, Kaohsiung County to establish our new and modernized factory, which passed GMP certification in all aspects, becoming an excellent GMP manufacturer. Therefore, the wine and liquor produced by us, such as Kanchihchun and Tahungkao have been well received in the market with a good reputation since their launch, accomplishing handsome sales.

Since Taiwan joined the WTO, the government opened the distilling rights to the private distillers and tobacco companies. Therefore, our company extended our investment in operating a private distillery. In May 7, 2002, the Ministry of Finance issued a distillery license to Kuoben, becoming the first privately operated distillery in Taiwan.
