  • Far Eastern New Century Corporation Introduction of the Far Eastern Group's Listed Companies
    INTRODUCTION OF THE FAR EASTERN Group’s LISTED COMPANIES Introduction of the Far Eastern Group’s Listed Companies Far Eastern New Century Corporation (Renamed from Far Eastern Textile Ltd.) In 1945, Mr. Yu-Ziang Hsu founded Far Eastern Manufacturing Company (FEMC) in Shanghai to produce Skyscraper knit wear. This marked the beginning of the Far Eastern Textile business. In 1949, when the Far Eastern Chinese Nationalist government retreated to Taiwan, Far Eastern also relocated to the island, setting up New Century Corporation its knitting factory there. From these origins, what can now more aptly be named Far Eastern Group (www. feg.com.tw) is now celebrating its 60th anniversary in Taiwan. Stock Listing Date —1967 Far Eastern Textile Ltd. (FETL), established in 1954, holds true to its tradition of “Sincerity, Diligence, Stock Symbol — 1402.TW Thrift and Prudence.” Corporate expansion led it to set up gradually stand-alone spinning, weaving, dye- www.fenc.com ing, and apparel factories. Year 1965 marked the complete integration of the upstream, midstream and downstream processes into one vertically-integrated production chain. In 1979, Oriental Chemical Fiber Corporation merged with FETL to complete the combination of fiber and textile production. In 2008, the company acquired Oriental Petrochemical (Taiwan) Corporation for increased efficiency and competitive advantage through the integration of the petrochemical, polyester, fiber, spinning, weaving, dyeing, ap- parel manufacturing, and retail businesses. With the opening of the cross-Strait, the company entered the mainland China market. It established production centers in Shanghai, Suzhou, and Wuxi. Starting in apparel manufacturing, FETL has since developed its fiber, spinning, weaving, dyeing and petrochemicals businesses in China.
