Oleochemicals - Overseas

The company was established in October 2006 through a joint venture concerning Golden Hope Overseas Capital, Cognis Oleochemicals Hong Kong Ltd and Lonkey Industrial Co. Ltd of China to produce and distribute Methyl Ester Sulphonate (MES), an oleochemical derivative used in the production of detergent.

Palm oil-based MES is more sustainable and environment friendly compared to the petroleum-based Linear Akylbenzene Sulphonate (LAS).

Once operational, the world class MES manufacturing plant in Nansha, China will have an initial production capacity of 36,000 tonnes per year.
