HISTORY: Improving lives for more than 60 years.
Sinon’s founder Tien-Fa Yang grew up on a modest farm in Taiwan. During his childhood, he watched farmers struggle - struggle to keep pests at bay, struggle to produce enough food, struggle to maintain a high quality of life for their families.Sinon Corporation is dedicated to improving the quality of life for both food producers and consumers through committed farmer-agent partnerships and responsible agrochemical usage.

Consequently, Sinon grew into a synergistic group of businesses that serves the agriculture, technology, and construction industries. A well-known brand in Taiwan, Sinon is listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (ticker 1712:TT).
