History

TAINGS was established since 1983 in South Australia, making and selling Hokkien noodles from home. In 1995, after a period of successful product development, Mr. & Mrs. Sokhum Taing established a new factory in Thebarton - South Australia. Since the new factory was established, Taings Noodles have enjoyed good sales growth in the South Australia market. In 1996, Taings started to export noodles to the Eastern States and became one of major primary supplier to supermarkets and hosipitality industries.

From 1998 Taings Noodles started to launched new noodle varieties. November 2000, Taings launched its first range of Taings Stir-Fry sauces. Taings noodles achieved the status of Australia best selling fresh Asian noodles (Source: A.C. Nelson) for 2000 and 2001.

Highway Enterprise Pty Ltd, a member of the Highway Group of Companies, took over Taings Noodle in 2006 to inject new capital and expertise and to ensure the continue growth and expansion of the noodle business.
