- Carnival Industrial Corporation (1417.TW) manufactures and sells men's and women's apparel, group uniforms, and related products in Taiwan and internationally. The company offers suits and career wear for men, including the Super Fine Wool series; women's ready-to-wear garments such as fancy dresses, jackets, trousers, pants, and accessories; dining and homeware products; curtain fabrics; and textile machinery, operating through sales of apparel under domestic brands like Carnival and Carnival Generation, franchised international brands, agency services for luxury labels, uniform design and development, and overseas garment manufacturing. It serves consumer retail, corporate uniform, and export markets across Taiwan, Mainland China, Vietnam, the Philippines, and other regions.
Founded in 1969 as Carnival Textile Industrial Corp. and headquartered at 7th Floor, No. 25, Sec. 4, Ren-ai Road, Da-an District, Taipei, Taiwan, the company changed its name to Carnival Industrial Corporation in 1997 and listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in 1976. Carnival Industrial operates three major business segments—own brands, franchised brands including past agencies for Giorgio Armani, Nina Ricci, Diesel, Cole Haan, and others, and new ventures—with approximately 1,041 employees focused on supply chain management, quality production, and innovation in hand-tailored suits and versatile apparel options.
In recent years, the company has pursued strategic shifts including the 2020 creation of a supply chain management and house of brands business model following board re-election; attainment of ISO certification at its Zhongli factory; and winning tenders for ROC Navy and Air Force exchanges. It established Carnival Generation as a younger line in 2015 and underwent a capital reduction approved at the 2019 AGM, alongside operational enhancements like R&D center investments and production technology seminars. No major acquisitions, funding rounds, or partnerships have been announced in the last 1-2 years, with focus remaining on domestic sales expansion and uniform business stability amid apparel sector challenges.
