Bosaeng Latex has enjoyed great success in the manufacture of durable rubber gloves for over 35 years.

1979 – The company’s first factory was established in Busan, South Korea and a range of rubber gloves was launched under the Bosaeng Latex brand name. Quickly successful, production was doubled and by 1981, the company was selling 800,000 pairs of latex gloves per annum.

1982 – To facilitate further growth, new factory premises were occupied in Busan and rubber boots were launched – natural latex rubber products, unique in the market at that time – and the company name was changed to Bosaeng, capitalizing on the success of the brand. By 1990, domestic sales in South Korea, together with the opening of a new export market in Japan led to a significant increase in sales of both latex gloves and rubber boots. The main markets were agriculture, farming, rice farming, and the fishing industry.

1991 – Rising raw material requirements, allied to the opportunity for greater cost efficiencies led to a transfer of production to Sri Lanka, aided by a BOI investment, and two factories were built. South Korea remained the key market but exports expanded into Taiwan and United Arab Emirates as well as Japan. Sales of rubber gloves rose annually along with production capacity. Towards the end of the 20th century, political and economic turmoil, coupled with rising raw materials and labor difficulties, led to the closure of the Sri Lankan operation and a complete reappraisal of the company’s manufacturing, marketing and sales activities.

Early 2000’s – Bosaeng Latex re-opened its operation in Thailand through a joint venture, attracted by the high quality of raw materials, government aid and cost-efficient manufacturing processes. This began with a comprehensive research project, which determined there was an unfulfilled high potential demand for quality rubber gloves and boots within the Kingdom; indeed, Bosaeng Latex obtained a patent for rubber boots in Thailand.

2009 – A new factory was commissioned, located in Chachoengsao province, just 40 kilometers from the nation’s capital, Bangkok, close to rubber tree plantations and to excellent transport and shipping networks. Full production commenced and sales within Thailand and into the company’s original home market of South Korea, improved steadily.

2015 – Bosaeng Latex increased production capacity and implemented a new management structure that included the hiring of new, highly qualified professionals. New export markets were opened and the company, in recognition of its position in the Thai rubber gloves market, was elected to the executive committee of the Thai Rubber Gloves Manufacturers Association (TRGMA).

2016 – New team members were hired and the company has introduced several new ranges of gloves brand ‘Soson’ ‘Rainbow’ and ‘Max power’

2018 – Bosaeng Latex obtained a patent for children rubber glove in South Korea no.10-2018-0145754. Under ‘Soson’ brand and we have many colors for kids.
