History
The founder, CM Juan
established Shing Sheng boatyard in 1957. The company began by building fishing vessels, which were distributed all around Taiwan. Later, Shing Sheng became a pioneer, building the first FRP fishing boat in Taiwan. The Ta Shing-built FRP fishing boats were even dedicated to the Panama Government as a special gift from the government of Taiwan. Ta Shing itself was established in 1978.
In March 2006, Tim Juan, son of CM Juan, took his position as president of Ta Shing.
