Chimei

Chimei is a term that can refer to several things, primarily associated with Taiwan. It is most famously the name of a large industrial conglomerate and a philanthropic foundation in Taiwan.

The Chimei Corporation, founded in 1960 by Shi Wen-long, is a major manufacturer of plastics, electronics, and medical supplies. It is particularly well-known for its production of ABS resin. The company has a significant global presence and is a key player in its respective industries.

Closely linked to the corporation is the Chimei Museum, also established by Shi Wen-long. Located in Tainan, Taiwan, it is one of the largest private museums in the world, housing an extensive collection of Western art, musical instruments, natural history, and more. The museum is a testament to Shi Wen-long's passion for art and culture and his desire to share it with the public.

In addition to the corporation and museum, the term "Chimei" can also refer to geographical locations or smaller entities within Taiwan that share the name. The influence of the Chimei brand and its philanthropic endeavors has made the name widely recognized within Taiwan and among those familiar with Taiwanese industry and culture.
