History
The company was founded on July 20, 1965, as a maker of rain gears and rubber boots. However, the official registration date recognized by the MOEA is July 20, 1968. By 2014, the company's production accounted for over 60% of global market share.
In the early stage of the company development, the neoprene sheets needed to produce such a line were dearly priced and tightly controlled by a handful of Japanese suppliers. Therefore, the founder, Mr, Pi-goon Sheiue, and his son, Min Shiue, were intent on bringing the neoprene in-house. By 1983, the experimentation was a success and the first neoprene production line of the company was established.
In 1996, the company's vertical integration was expanded to create "Shei Heng Hsin Sheiflex Ind. co., Ltd." and began producing spandex yarn. Two spandex manufacturing facilities were established in Taiwan and mainland China. A spandex brand, Sheiflex, is created in order to promote their spandex yarn.
