CORE UNION CHEMICAL CORP. (CUC) was established in 1968, originally named Dahshyang Chemical Co., Ltd.. In its early stages, the company focused on the research and development of surfactants for the textile industry. Through collaboration with well-established Japanese chemical companies, CUC not only engaged in import and export operations but also introduced advanced technologies—such as organic synthesis and enzyme cultivation—from Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd. and Rakuto Kasei Co., Ltd. to foster localized development in Taiwan.
In 1987, after years of stable and mutually beneficial cooperation, CUC signed a formal partnership agreement with Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd.. This agreement not only strengthened the bilateral relationship but also led to a joint venture in a newly constructed, technologically advanced manufacturing facility. The plant specializes in producing a wide range of Sanyo’s globally recognized and innovative products, including various additives and auxiliary agents used in the textile, coatings, pulp & paper, and wastewater treatment industries.
For over five decades, CUC has adhered to a pragmatic and reliable operational philosophy. In response to shifts in global economic conditions and industrial structures, the company has continuously upgraded its hardware and software systems. Leveraging its robust technological foundation, CUC actively engages in the enhancement of existing products and the development of new ones. While its initial product offerings focused on textile auxiliaries, the company has since expanded into textile lubricants, antistatic agents, and additives and resins (including water-based and biodegradable variants) for a wide range of industries such as papermaking, plastics and rubber, steel, electronics, printing, and leather. Additionally, CUC manufactures customizable fiber drums, which have successfully been industrialized and commercialized. The company’s primary markets include Taiwan, regions of Asia, and the Americas. Its client base spans a diverse array of industries, including textiles, fibers, printing, coatings, electronics, chemicals, food, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals.
CUC is committed to the principles of technological leadership, quality assurance, customer-centric service, and sustainable environmental practices. We strive to deliver outstanding products with consistent quality, reliable lead times, and added value. In recognition of these efforts, the company was awarded ISO 9001 certification in 2000 and ISO 14001 certification in 2009, as well as UN certification for hazardous materials containers (fiber drums) from the CR Classification Society in 2004.
Looking ahead, CUC will continue to focus on the research and development of specialty chemicals and green products. We aim to grow together with our clients, achieve mutual success, and build a strong international reputation for high-quality products.
