About HWA YI
Hwayi Factory was formerly known as “Riyi Factory”. It was named so because it was established by Mr. Xu Wang in 1931 during Japanese rule. After Taiwan’s recovery, it was renamed as “Hwayi factory”, which means the factory of Republic of China. The products were mainly hand made, little output in spite of hard work.
In 1971, Mr. Xu Shuimu, son of Mr. Xu Wang, took over the business. He rebuilt the rice noodle shack that leaked in every rain into brick building, increased equipment and enhanced the quality. In 1979, the company officially became legitimate company with registered certificate, with products selling to army, welfare center etc., and several own brands such as “Ji”, “Ding”, “MACHI”, “Yiguo”, “EGO”, “Hwayi” and “Longtou”.
