History of LDGS Group

History

Origin- from the 1960s to the 1970s

In the 1960s, a staunch capable woman whose husband was often away from home to do land survey for the government was determined to share her husband`s responsibility of raising their big family. Based on a common practical idea that everyone needs shoes, this woman financed her second son to set up Shen Ji Leather Shoes with money collected from a loan club, and the story started then. She is the very head of Lee Da Leather-Shen A-Mei, and her second son is the Chairman of the Board of Lee Da Ge Shi (LDGS) Conglomerate, Lin Hui-Hsiung.

In the beginning, the grandmother, Ms. Chen, acted as a sales representative who also solicited orders; the grandfather was responsible for billing and collecting payments; the father developed and cut materials by himself while doing business; the mother ensured product quality, packaging and shipment. About 50 people, including the Lin family, employees, craftsmen, and apprentices, all worked and lived in a family factory of around 150 square feet, a microcosm of early small and medium enterprises in Taiwan.

The company, Shen Ji Leather Shoes, started to market its own products after producing its own products. In the 1970s, the company opened five shoe shops in Ximending, Taipei, and some prime locations in Kelong. However, this change of business model led to some difficult challenges. Taking the situation into account, the company decided to focus on the essential element of shoe production-shoe materials instead.

Root-taking –from the 1980s to the 1990s

In the 1980s, many shoe manufactures clustered around the central Taiwan. The company, Le Da Leather Co. Ltd., moved from Taipei to Taichung City in order to serve clients more conveniently. In this period, the company laid a sound foundation for making shoe materials. Later, with many shoe manufacturers migrating to Mainland China, the company couldn`t help but re-locate its production line there.
In the early 1990s, fired with determination to conquer or die, the Chairman of the Board, Lin Hui-Hsiung, took all funds to set up Ping Dong Lee Da Leather Co. Ltd. in Foshan city, Guangdong province. Based on his experience and a sheer force of will, Mr. Lin, though about 60 years old, worked hard in a foreign land to mark a new territory for the company. Fortunately, the sales of shoe manufacturers boosted along with the flourishing economic development in Mainland China. Many years of hard work were finally paid off-Le Da Leather Co., Ltd. experienced some prosperous years.

Branching-in the early 2000s

Many Taiwanese businessmen lost their competitive edge after ten-something years. Facing the cut-throat competition among the same industry, Lin Zhi-Fen, the first child of the third generation, who had joined the family enterprise for twenty years, realized the necessity of its reform and transformation. She continued developed and advanced the manufacturing process of its shoe materials. In 2004, she also established a company, Ge Luo Bo Shi Co., Ltd., to integrate traditional leather-making craft with innovative ideas. Its furniture and homewares brand, Zuny, was set up in 2007.

Far-stretching-2010 to the present

Adhering to the philosophy of integrity, practicality, innovation, Le Da Leather Co., Ltd. has been endeavoring in different fields and then expanding to certain extent in the past few decades. Since 2016, the Lee Da Leather Co., Ltd. in Vietnam, located in the Phuoc Industrial Park of Bau Bang in Tinh Binh Duong, has started a factory-building plan. In 2017, Nordott, established in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, connected with the international furniture and homewares industry, and announced the initiation of Lee Da Ge Shi (LDGS) Conglomerate. The year of 2017 is the first year of LDGS Conglomerate and a new chapter of history has begun. Until now, the story and dream of LDGS still continues to spread and stretch in every corner of the world.
