Its role Investor / Financier
Shinkong Synthetic Fibers Corporation is a prominent Taiwanese manufacturer specializing in polyester fibers and advanced polymer materials. Founded in 1967 and listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (ticker: 1409), the company has grown into a major player in the synthetic fibers and plastics industry with operations across Asia.
Its primary products include partially oriented yarns (POY), fully drawn yarns (FDY), polyester staple fibers, industrial yarns, PET bottle-grade resins, PET bottles and preforms, engineering polymers, optical films, and polyester films. These materials serve diverse sectors such as textiles, food packaging, electronics, automotive, and optronics. The company emphasizes product differentiation, sustainability, and high-value applications, including recycled and functional fibers.
Headquartered in Taipei, Shinkong operates manufacturing sites in Taiwan (including Chungli and Guanyin), as well as facilities in Mainland China and Thailand. As a key subsidiary of the Shinkong Group—one of Taiwan's leading conglomerates—it benefits from group synergies while maintaining a focus on innovation through R&D partnerships.
Beyond its core business, the company has expanded into the semiconductor supply chain as the local partner in the Shinsol Advanced Chemicals joint venture with Solvay, investing in electronic-grade hydrogen peroxide production facilities in Tainan Science Park to support Taiwan's booming semiconductor industry. This positions Shinkong as a diversified materials supplier contributing to high-tech manufacturing.
With a commitment to sustainable development and circular economy initiatives, such as investments in recycled polyester technologies, the company maintains a strong competitive position in Asia's polyester and advanced materials markets.
