From green palms to green chemicals
Southern Acids produces and markets palm oil based oleochemical products including fatty acids and glycerine. These products are widely used in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries under their brand Southern Acids Industries Sdn Bhd. The company also invests in palm oil related sectors and runs a private healthcare center in Klang, Malaysia. The "acid" in the company's name refers to Oleo fatty acids, not the hydrochloric acids.
Key competitors to Southern Acids include other Malaysian oleochemical producers and palm oil companies such as KLK Oleo, IOI Oleochemical, and other regional palm oil chemical manufacturers competing locally and internationally.
The Southern Acid 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) took place at the Wyndham Acmar Klang Hotel. Attendees received practical door gifts such as digital locks and portable umbrellas (with company red colors), both thoughtful and highly useful items.
Additionally, investors were treated to a very sumptuous buffet luncheon.
