Business segments
Haitian reports its operations as one integrated business and therefore has one operating segment, rather than separately reported business segments. Its product categories are not formal operating segments. The company identifies soy sauce, oyster sauce and flavored sauces as core categories, with cooking wine, vinegar and compound condiments also in its portfolio.[24][9]
In the six months ended June 30, 2026, reported revenue was RMB8.296 billion from soy sauce (about 51.4% of total revenue), RMB2.566 billion from oyster sauce (15.9%), RMB1.645 billion from flavored sauce (10.2%) and RMB2.844 billion from other products (17.6%). The percentages are approximate calculations using total revenue of RMB16.146 billion; these are product-category contributions, not segment contributions.[25] [24][9][25][25]
Company history
Haitian traces its origins to 1955, when 25 traditional sauce shops in Foshan merged to form Haitian Factory, its predecessor. The predecessor launched Mushroom Dark Soy Sauce in 1956, and by 1988 Haitian had become China’s leading condiment producer by production scale and sales volume.[26]
The predecessor was restructured as a limited-liability company in 1995; Foshan Haitian Flavouring and Food Company Ltd. was established in 2000 and converted into a joint-stock company in 2010.[27][19] The company listed its A shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2014.[19] In 2024, Cheng Xue became chairwoman, succeeding Pang Kang.[28] Haitian’s H shares began trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2025.[19] [19][26][27][28]
