“Forever Sweety Lao Tao Ke”, located in Dongshan, Tainan, is the latest but old brand in the region. Founded in 1991 in the suburbs of Dongshan, our manufacturing factory No. 1 started with the production of granulated sugar and rock sugar, with the change of people’s life and food culture, customers have different positioning and usage of sugar, therefore, we began to manufacture traditional sugar such as winter melon tea bricks, Taiwan brown sugar, and brown rock sugar in 1995. We are committed to innovating and improving from ancient methods, including the development and patenting of a cotton-thread-free rock candy process, and the world’s first double-cross knife cutting method for winter melon tea bricks.

Coinciding with the period of rapid economic growth in Taiwan, initially, only the Forever Sweety brand was utilized to manufacture rock sugar and brown sugar to cater to the domestic market. However, as rock sugar and brown sugar could no longer keep up with the ever-changing taste preferences, a new brand, “Lao Tao Ke Winter Melon Tea Brick,” was introduced. This brand extracted the authentic taste of winter melon through an innovative and enhanced manufacturing process, gradually expanding the domestic beverage market. The phrase “Lao Tao Ke” in authentic Taiwanese embodies the legacy of experience and skills, representing the honest, simple, and hard-working father who supports his family. This also encapsulates the original intention of the “Forever Sweety” brand: for the people we love. Situated in Dongshan, Tainan, the Lao Tao Ke’s family not only supports its own members but also quietly aids numerous other families. It accompanies them through various stages of life, including career changes, retirement, or decades of service. This factory has borne witness to many life journeys, serving as a microcosm of existence.
As the business volume continues to grow year by year and to comply with the ever-evolving food safety regulations, all of Forever Sweety Lao Tao Ke’s production facilities have been verified by HACCP and ISO22000 (the first in the industry, certified in 2011, leading by 10 years). Additionally, all Forever Sweety sugar products and Lao Tao Ke products have obtained Halal certification and are exported to Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Canada, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and other countries. The demand for Lao Tao Ke Winter Melon Tea Bricks in foreign markets has also been growing year by year.
