Company’s History

Taokaenoi Food & Marketing Public Company Limited was registered as a limited company with the Ministry of Commerce on September 21, 2004 with an initial registered capital of 1 million baht to produce and distribute processed seaweed under the brand name "Taokaenoi".

The Company has continuously increased its capital to support its business expansion. On May 10, 2013, the Company was registered as a public company, and on November 30, 2015, the Company registered a change in its paid-up capital (capital increase) to 345 million baht. This was done by issuing 360 million new common shares to the public at a par value of 0.25 baht per share to raise funds for the development of machinery and to increase the Company's working capital.

The Company currently has two factories: "Noppawong Factory (NPW)" in Pathum Thani Province and "Rojana Factory (RJN)" in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, to meet the needs of consumers both domestically and internationally. The Company also has a sales office in the United States.
