History
LCY’s origins date back to a wood-trading enterprise established in 1915. In 1965, the founder, Lee Chang-jung, formally established LCY Chemical to manufacture methanol and formaldehyde, marking the company’s transition into the chemical manufacturing industry.[2]
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, several plants underwent temporary shutdowns to meet updated environmental regulations.
In 2018, the private equity firm KKR acquired all publicly traded shares of LCY Chemical, resulting in its delisting from the Taiwan Stock Exchange.[3]
Since 2020, LCY has broadened its product range to include synthetic rubber and semiconductor-related materials, exemplified by acquiring an ESBR plant in mainland China in 2020 and investing in high-purity solvent manufacturing in Taiwan in 2021. In 2024, the company unveiled a new brand identity that emphasizes circular-economy principles and sustainability. By 2025, LCY partnered with CVI Group to establish LVI Materials Ltd. in Hong Kong, with future plans to expand into Malaysia.[4]
Business and operations
LCY’s business is organized into three core domains supported by five business units:
- High Performance Polymers & Industrial Sciences – covering TPE, SBS, and other performance materials.
- Semiconductor & Interconnect Applications – focusing on electronic-grade chemicals, packaging, and interconnect materials.
- Sustainability Sciences – encompassing bio-based solutions, recycling, and circular economy initiatives.
The five business units often cited are: High Performance Materials, Industrial Solutions, Electronic Materials, Bio-Chemical Solutions, and Interconnect Solutions (operated by LCY Technology).[5]
Subsidiaries and affiliates
Major entities under LCY Group include:
- LCY Chemical Corp. (李長榮化工股份有限公司) – Core chemical manufacturing subsidiary.
- LCY Technology – Provider of advanced packaging and interconnect materials.
- LVI Materials Ltd. – joint venture with CVI Group focused on semiconductor materials (founded 2025).
- Various regional entities in the United States and Mainland China, such as LCY Elastomers L.P.[6]
Controversies and legal matters
Environmental compliance and public safety concerns have intermittently influenced the operations of LCY since the 1980s. The 2014 Kaohsiung gas explosions, involving a propene pipeline partially operated by LCY Chemical, led to investigations and legal proceedings. In 2021, Taiwan’s High Court upheld lower court rulings that acquitted LCY personnel while recommending the implementation of stricter pipeline safety regulations nationwide standards.[7]
