The main business of Lai Yih-KY is the OEM of casual shoes and sports shoes mainly for international brands such as Adidas Group, Converse(Nike Group), VFC Group and Deckers Group.
In addition to establishing an exclusive R&D team and development center for these brand customers, the company closely cooperates with them from product development to mass production, and can meet their needs in terms of production quantity, delivery time, multi-country production bases, refined processing, automated production (including collaborative research and development with equipment manufacturers) and production standards (e.g. environmental protection and labor issues). With its professional technology, stable strength and rich industry experience, the company provides brand customers with high-quality and innovative footwear products and services, making it the core factory for brand customers’ long-term cooperation.
Lai Yih-KY has continuously accumulated and developed various shoe making technologies. The Yih Chun and Yih Shuo factories in Vietnam are GORE-TEX certified with the production capacity of top-notch waterproof and breathable outdoor functional shoes in all aspects, and their OEM quality has long been recognized by brand customers and consumers. The group’s development team is strong, and in the past, a large amount of R&D resources have been invested in material research and process improvement every year. The R&D items include the development and application of new shoe materials and introduction and improvement of manufacturing technology. Currently, various tools to improve production efficiency have been developed, including rubber sole direct injection technology, various computer sewing machines, unmanned automatic handling vehicles, and robotic arm automatic spraying. The company continues to invest in automation, innovative technology, process refinement, and shoe material development, and increase the proportion of automation to lead the development of new shoe styles. This is to meet the various needs of brand customers for high-quality product services and quick market response. The aim is to deepen the cooperation with brand customers and consolidate the position of Lai Yih-KY in the shoe industry.
To meet the demand for future mass production orders, Lai Yih-KY is actively expanding its overseas production bases, hoping to create more favorable flexible space for the layout of multiple brands and factories. In recent years, the global production focus has gradually shifted to Southeast Asia. As Indonesia is the largest economy of ASEAN, in addition to setting up factories in Vietnam and Myanmar, the company has actively expanded its factories in Indonesia to effectively diversify political and economic risks in various regions.
