In the late 1970s, the founders of Southern Acids
(M) Berhad (SAB) identified the vast potential of palm oil
as an excellent alternative feedstock to the oleochemical industry
which was then still largely based on tallow and coconut oil.
Realising the opportunity provided by the abundant supply of palm
and palm kernel oils in Malaysia and a preference for vegetable
based oleochemicals in many applications such as food, cosmetic and
pharmaceutical industries, Southern Acids (M) Sdn Bhd (as it was
then) was incorporated in 1980 to venture into the manufacturing of
fatty acids and glycerine.
Today, SAB markets its palm based fatty acids and glycerine to the world under Southern Acids Industries Sdn.
Bhd. (SAI).
Environment friendly, sustainable development
and green chemicals ............ these are the emerging emphasis of
today's society. Situated in Kapar, Klang amidst lush palm green
trees, SAI is the realisation of the
concept of "from green palms to green chemicals." The synergy
arising from this concept coupled with well equipped equipment and
skilled personnel have
enabled SAI
to produce high quality fatty acids
and glycerine.
SAI has been a registered member of RSPO since 2014. As a major oleochemicals manufacturer,
SAI is committed towards supplying the market demand for sustainable palm oil products.
