YFY Business Summary

YFY Inc. (1907.TW) operates as a diversified investment holding company that generates revenue primarily through the manufacturing, agency, and sale of paper-related products and sustainable technology solutions. The company’s operations are divided into four core segments: Forest Pulp and Paper (pulp and fine paper), Industrial Paper and Paperware (containerboard and packaging), Consumer Goods (household paper and cleaning products), and an "Other" segment encompassing RFID technology, specialty chemicals, and biotechnology. By integrating a circular economy model, YFY leverages its vertical supply chain to monetize everything from raw pulp to high-end electronic packaging and renewable energy. It maintains a dominant market position in Taiwan and a significant manufacturing footprint in Mainland China, competing directly with regional giants such as Cheng Loong Corp, Oji Holdings Corp, and Lee & Man Paper Manufacturing Ltd. YFY distinguishes itself by transitioning from a traditional manufacturer into a high-tech conglomerate focused on carbon neutrality and material science innovation. Originally founded in 1924 by the Ho brothers (Ho Chuan, Ho Yung, and Ho Yi), YFY is currently led by Chairman Huey-Ching Yeh and President (acting CEO) Ping-Chen (David) Lo. Chairman Yeh brings extensive public sector expertise, having previously served as the Director-General of the Bureau of Energy and Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Economic Affairs in Taiwan. President David Lo holds an MBA from Cornell University’s S.C. Johnson College of Business and oversees the group’s strategic global expansion. The executive team is supported by Chief Operating Officer Cheng-Hsien (Daniel) Chu, who possesses a deep pedigree in electronics operations from roles at Simplo Technology and Coretronic. The board of directors includes notable figures such as Chun-Chieh Huang, President of Huacheng Capital, and Independent Director Jin-Li Hu, a prominent economics professor specializing in environmental resource management, reflecting the company's institutional focus on sustainable financial growth.
