Nam Liong International Co.

What Nam Liong International Co. does

Nam Liong International Co. (南良國際股份有限公司) is a Taiwan-based, publicly listed (TWSE 5450) manufacturer of functional textiles, polymer materials, composite materials, high-elasticity foam, and hook-and-loop fasteners, founded in 1972 and headquartered in Taipei with manufacturing concentrated in Yongkang District, Tainan and a wholly-owned TPU film subsidiary, Jiaxing Nanxiong Polymer, in China. The company operates three business lines: a Materials Business supplying specialty fabrics, films, foams, and fasteners; a Finished Products Business under the H&H brand offering health technology products such as the patented 3D Whole Body Acceleration (WBPA) bed, energy ceramics, medical aids, and functional sleeping products; and the NL Eco-Family line of bio-based sponges, bio-based TPU films, and recycled materials developed with DuPont Tate & Lyle Susterra biotechnology.

The firm serves four end-markets: global sportswear and outdoor brands (NIKE, Decathlon, RIP CURL, ADIDAS, Aropec) through OEM/ODM and ECO-Family materials; health and medical segments (H&H finished products, ISO 13485 and GMP certified medical auxiliary equipment); public safety and emergency services (cut-resistant and puncture-resistant protective gear, EV fire blankets, anti-stab umbrellas, GIDEON line for New Taipei Metro); and industrial textile applications. Proprietary technologies include bio-based TPU films, oyster shell composite wetsuit material, cut-resistant fabric constructions, and EV fire blankets rated to 1,000-1,300°C. Revenue is generated through B2B OEM/ODM manufacturing, direct material sales to global brands, OBM finished products under H&H, and direct procurement by government and transit agencies, with quote-based pricing and no public consumer pricing.

Ownership is highly concentrated: Zi Liong Enterprise Co., Ltd. holds 72.07% of shares, making this a founder-family-controlled mid-cap manufacturer rather than a broadly held or PE-backed entity. The 9-member board includes 4 independent directors, and an Audit Committee has been in place since June 2022, with the current term running through June 2028. The company is currently positioning for growth in bio-based materials, medical devices, and public safety equipment, supported by a 2025 Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs project for green and low-carbon textile development.
