History

Farcent Enterprise was founded in 1983 under the name Eutech Enterprise Co., Ltd. The company initially focused on innovative household products and quickly gained popularity after launching its first successful product, Aromatic Beans, an air freshening product aimed primarily at students.

Throughout the 1990s, the company expanded into moisture control and home fragrance products, introducing several brands that later became market leaders in Taiwan.

In 1996, the company officially changed its corporate name to Farcent Enterprise Co., Ltd., reflecting its growing product portfolio and international ambitions. During the same period, Farcent expanded into household cleaning tools and odor-control products.

Farcent became publicly listed in Taiwan in 2000, followed by its listing on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in 2001, enabling further expansion throughout Asia. [1]
