Early Life
Li Shui-po was born in Taiwan in 1956. Information about his early life and education is limited; however, he showed an interest in mechanical engineering from an early age and later graduated from the Taipei Institute of Technology (now the National Taipei University of Technology).
Rise to Success
Li Shui-po's career started in a steel mill in Dajia District, Taichung, where he worked his way up to factory director. In 1991, he co-founded Kinglai Hygienic Materials with his wife. With his wife's background in international trade, they secured their first significant contract with a US customer, a $40,000 order. In 2000, following the suggestion of his father-in-law, he made a strategic move to relocate Kinglai's headquarters to Kunshan, Jiangsu, China. This decision led to the company's first major order in China from Yili Group.
Key Business Strategies
The success of Li Shui-po is attributed to strategic business decisions, including leveraging his wife's trade expertise early in the business and the relocation of Kinglai's headquarters to China. This move proved pivotal for expanding the company's market reach. The company went public on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2011, further solidifying its financial standing.
