About Walsin Lihwa
Established in 1966 as a manufacturer of power wire and cable at inception, Walsin Lihwa Corporation was listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in 1972 and is now a leading manufacturer of power wires and cables in the Greater China region and a global stainless steel industry leader. The Company has also become an international consortium by successful expansion into real estate, the resources business, renewable energy, and hi-tech industries.
Walsin Lihwa's core businesses include wire and cable, stainless steel, resources, as well as real estate. In the 1980s, Walsin Lihwa commenced investment in semiconductors, electronics components and parts, printed circuit boards, optoelectronics, and finance by establishing Winbond Electronics, Passive System Alliance , HannStar Board, and HannStar Display.
For expansion into the market of high-end applications of stainless steel as well as the green energy sector, Walsin Lihwa's Italian subsidiary Cogne Acciai Speciali (CAS) completed its acquisition of Special Melted Products (SMP) and 2 steel-rolling mills from Outokumpu in Europe in 2023. CAS further contributed to the circular economy by completing the acquisition of Italian waste stainless steel recycling company Com.Steel Inox S.p.A (Inox) in 2024, and acquired German seamless pipes and tubes manufacturer DMV GmbH to meet the diverse needs of high-end markets. Walsin Energy Cable System Co., Ltd. was also established in partnership with Denmark's NKT HV Cables to build Taiwan's first submarine cable plant in the Port of Kaohsiung. The plant is expected to be completed and commence production in 2027. The plant will help enhance Taiwan's strategic position in the international wind power and submarine cable industries.
Enjoying ongoing revenue and earnings growth, Walsin Lihwa incorporates ESG into its daily operation to help drive economic, environmental, and social progress and lay a solid foundation for corporate sustainability.
