Samyang Flour has introduced a low-temperature deodorization technology based on a cryogenic vacuum system (DIC) to produce oil with low trans fat at this new plant. In addition, the company has applied advanced oil recovery technology to improve operational efficiency, and has focused on building an eco-friendly smart factory equipped with a fully automated process and energy-saving systems.

With the new refining plant, Samyang Flour will now be able to supply palm oil?a key ingredient directly linked to food quality?internally, thereby further strengthening the safety of its entire production process. The company expects that, by establishing a stable supply infrastructure to meet rapidly increasing domestic and international demand, it will be able to further solidify its position as a global comprehensive food company.
