History

The company was founded in 1968, as a maker of rain gears and rubber boots.[1] By 2014, the company's production accounted for over 60% of global market share.[2]

In the early stage of the company development, the neoprene sheets needed to produce such a line were dearly priced and tightly controlled by a handful of Japanese suppliers. Therefore, the founder, Mr, Pi-goon Sheiue, and his son, Min Shiue, were intent on bringing the neoprene in-house.[2] By 1983, the experimentation was a success and the first neoprene production line of the company was established.[3]

In 1996, the company's vertical integration was expanded to create "Shei Heng Hsin Sheiflex Ind. co., Ltd." and began producing spandex yarn. Two spandex manufacturing facilities were established in Taiwan and mainland China. A spandex brand, Sheiflex, is created in order to promote their spandex yarn.[3][4]

gollark: I don't really know much about Windows nowadays, does it still have a """safe mode""" you can try?
gollark: What do you actually mean by "freezing"? Does it stay on the PIN entry screen and not accept any input, change slightly but still ignore input, ominously go to a black screen, etc?
