If you want to know about GIANT in Taiwan

This is something you cycling enthusiasts might want to watch.

I recently visited the GIANT company HQ in Taichung and filmed these videos:

He really is fun to listen to! I wish all Taiwanese bosses were that entertaining.

Good interview.

Coincidentally, I’m in the UK at the moment and have noticed Giant bikes all over the place. I don’t recall seeing more than a handful in the past.

I’m not sure about all Taiwanese CEOs not being entertaining. I listened to the CEO of Far Eastern a couple of months ago and he’s a brilliant presenter.

Thank you. Right, now that you mention it: Asus’ Johnny Shih is also quite the entertainer.

How Taiwan became a leader of the bicycle industry

While TSMC’s semiconductor factories dominate, the cycling giants Giant and Merida, along with their subcontractors, serve as the island’s second economic powerhouse.
