According to a CNA report, Kuangyu (廣運) held a 50th-anniversary family day on August 15, 2026, marking its path from a 1976 startup to founder Hsieh Ching-fu's 2025 handover to son Hsieh Ming-kai. TechNews reports Hsieh Ming-kai citing several-fold growth in semiconductor-linked orders and October listing plans for two subsidiaries.
From NT$100,000 Startup Capital to a 50th Anniversary Celebration
Kuangyu (廣運) held a 50th-anniversary family day event on August 15, 2026, according to CNA ("廣運今天舉辦50週年家庭日活動") [E1]. The company traces its roots to 1976, when founder Hsieh Ching-fu (謝清福) and vice chairman Pai Chou-huang (白周煌) co-founded the business, according to CNA [E3]. TechNews adds a specific detail CNA does not: the two partners started the company with a combined capital of NT$100,000 [E9]. Per CNA, over the following five decades the business grew "from single-unit transport machines to full systems and turnkey plant design" [E3].
Five Decades of Automation and Public Infrastructure Milestones
CNA reports that the automated conveyor equipment Kuangyu has installed over 50 years, if connected end to end, would stretch more than 5,879 kilometers — enough to circle Taiwan six times [E2]. Beyond conveyor systems, CNA reports the company has moved into public infrastructure work, including Taoyuan International Airport's Terminal 3 and MRT platform screen doors, alongside gains in AI server liquid-cooling systems [E4]. TechNews corroborates and extends this public-works list, citing Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 3, MRT platform screen doors, and the National Central Library as large-scale projects the company has taken on in recent years [E10].
Founder Hsieh Ching-fu Completes Generational Handover to Hsieh Ming-kai
CNA reports that Hsieh Ching-fu (謝清福) handed the company over to Hsieh Ming-kai (謝明凱) in 2025, saying he believes that "on the solid foundation laid in the past, [Hsieh Ming-kai] can further build on it going forward" [E5]. TechNews frames the same 2025 handover as the moment Kuangyu "formally passed the responsibility" to Hsieh Ming-kai, completing what it describes as the historic turn from the "founding generation" to the "new venture generation" [E12].
Semiconductor-Linked Orders: From Seven Years of R&D to Explosive Growth
TechNews reports that Kuangyu began developing water-cooling thermal technology seven years ago, technology it describes as having taken "ten years to forge," and which has since drawn domestic and international orders as demand from AI servers and data centers has risen [E11]. Within that push, TechNews reports that Kingyun Technology (金運科技) has already secured orders from Thailand and the United States, and is in talks for water-cooling thermal projects in Japan and other countries [E14]. Chairman Hsieh Ming-kai (謝明凱) is quoted by TechNews saying semiconductor-related orders have seen "several-fold" (數倍以上) growth, and that he expects full-year revenue to sustain "double-digit" (雙位數) growth [E8].
Kingyun Technology and Shengxin Materials Prepare for October Listings
TechNews quotes Hsieh Ming-kai stating that Kingyun Technology (金運科技) and Shengxin Technology Materials (盛新科技材料) will list on the Taipei Exchange (TPEx) this October, which he describes as opening "a new phase" of growth for the group [E7]. TechNews separately reports both subsidiaries are currently planning an October listing on the Taipei Exchange as they become what it calls important future growth engines for the group [E15]. Among the two, TechNews reports that Shengxin Materials' growth has been the most pronounced: its first-half 2026 revenue already exceeded its full-year 2025 revenue, with the second half expected to add further growth [E13].
Taichi Energy's Solar Push: 30 Million kWh and Falling Carbon Emissions
CNA reports that Kuangyu's solar-power subsidiary, Taichi Energy (太極能源), has generated as much as 30 million kWh of green electricity, cutting carbon emissions by 12,000 metric tons [E6].

What This Means
The timeline laid out by CNA and TechNews shows the handover and the growth push arriving almost back to back: Hsieh Ching-fu (謝清福) transferred leadership to Hsieh Ming-kai (謝明凱) in 2025 [E5][E12], and it is under the new chairman that TechNews reports semiconductor-linked orders turning "several-fold" and two subsidiaries — Kingyun Technology and Shengxin Materials — heading toward October Taipei Exchange listings [E7][E8][E15]. The liquid-cooling technology now cited for international orders in Thailand and the United States was not a sudden pivot; TechNews traces it back seven years, describing it as a "ten years to forge" effort that predates both the anniversary and the leadership change [E11][E14]. Set against the 50-year backdrop — from NT$100,000 in starting capital in 1976 to a conveyor-equipment footprint CNA measures at 5,879 km [E3][E9][E2] — the two subsidiaries' planned October listings mark the newest chapter layered onto a company whose public-facing infrastructure work and solar-energy output are documented by CNA and TechNews as running in parallel with its semiconductor-linked expansion [E4][E10][E6].
