History

The Wei-Chuan USA division was founded in 1972 and operates manufacturing and customer service centers in Jersey City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, and Tennessee. Its products are similar to its parent company's.[3] Wei-Chuan USA's corporate logo includes five red balls which represent the five basic flavors.

The Wuhan Wei-Chuan division was founded August 1995 as a joint venture with Wuhan Weijing Factory targeting Hubei and Sichuan. Products include MSG, soy sauce, animal feed, and bouillon. Brands include Vecon, Wei-Chuan, and Great Bridge.[4]

Wei-Chuan formerly sponsored the Wei Chuan Dragons professional baseball team.[5][6]

In November 2013, the company was found to be involved in an adulterated cooking oil scandal.[7] The chairman of the company offered public apology during a press conference on 5 November 2013.[8]
