In 1966, we established a Customer Service Laboratory to not only research new technology but also serve our customers. In 1982, the Laboratory was moved to Linkou, Taipei County, and became a multi-functional center for PE development and research. Covering an area of approximately 19,835 square meters, the new site includes professional laboratories, experimental plants, and reactor equipments. In December 1995, our outstanding research accomplishments were recognized with a Gold Prize in the petrochemical & livelihood category in the fourth annual Industrial Awards, sponsored by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. In the same year, we received the ISO-9002 quality certification.

Consequently, we have strengthened our competitiveness in the international market. We will continue to explore new and better opportunities for further development of the future.
