Today we are sad to announce the CHIMEI Group Founder Shi Wen-long has peacefully passed away on November 18, 2023 at age 96.

Mr. Shi was born in 1928 in Tainan City, Taiwan. He started CHIMEI Corporation in 1960 in a small workshop in Tainan to produce acrylic (PMMA) sheets, and later led the company to become the largest manufacturer of ABS resin in the world.

Mr. Shi also devoted himself to arts and philanthropy. He founded CHIMEI Medical Center to improve access to medical resources and care for the Greater Tainan area, and also established the CHIMEI Museum to bring arts and music to the local community.

In accordance with the late Founder’s wishes, a private memorial will be held in his memory at the site where the original office building of the CHIMEI Corporation is located.

We appreciate your thoughtfulness during our time of bereavement.

CHIMEI Group
