King Car & San Ho Paper & Carton Co.

Today we had two field trips, both of them are in Chungli, about 15-20 drive time to there.

First, the time of departure is about 9:30 a.m, and then we moved to King Car, a factory of the renown ”King Car Root Beer", main products are Mr. Brown coffee and various healthy and functional beverages now. When we were there, we had a brief video first.

In the video, I know besides Chung Li plant, King Car group still have Ping Chen plant, Yuan Shan plant, King Car Whisky Distillery, Yuan Shan research institute, and King Car logistics Co., LTD.

Then we visited product line about 40 mins. This is my first time to see the product line, and I think those machines are magic. No matter packing, stack, or storage warehouse are automated. The guide told me they produce 40,000 box (24 cans in a box ) beverages every work day. That are really amazing.

I have been to King Car Whisky Distillery in April. Although Chung Li plant is not large and beautiful than King Car Whisky Distillery, but I like these people who are really friendly and hospitable. 

After lunch, we went to Shan Ho Paper & Carton Co., which is an old industry made Corrugated fiberboard. As King Car, we had brief presentation first and then visited the production line.

In the visit, I found San Ho is not just produce corrugated box that I thought before. The company also makes packing for a lot of products. Besides, the guide also told us there are three kinds of corrugated board: A, B, and C class, and A class is made by large corrugators. We found there are lots of bundles of paper rolls. The guide told us San Ho is second factory, so they don't manufacture pulp. Their raw materials are kraft paper.

Perhaps San Ho is a traditional industry, the plants are dark and stuffy. I deeply feel working here is very toilsome.

Anyway, I like the field trips today. Both of them are friendly and nice. Besides, we got lots of drinks and cookie. Maybe this is one of the benefits to visit food industry. haha :)
