The company, founded in 1955 and headquartered in Taipei City with primary operations in Kaohsiung City, also engages in cogeneration of steam and industrial power; production of industrial gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide; real estate development and leasing; food trading and supermarket management; gas station operations; machinery development and sales; and general investment, banking, insurance brokerage, and international trade through subsidiaries. It serves domestic Taiwan markets primarily alongside Asia and other regions, with business segments spanning chemical fibers for garments, cloths, footwear, and industrial materials; chemicals for antifreeze, refrigerants, solvents, and lubricants; and diversified services. In recent developments, the company merged with its wholly-owned subsidiary Shiang-Fong Co., Ltd., a land development entity, in December 2022 to streamline organization, reduce operating costs, and enhance efficiency; it reported earnings for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, alongside remuneration committee changes in June 2025 and resolved to sign a joint construction contract for a real estate project in Sanchong District.
