VANGUARDWAX

Our Story

Rooted in Taiwan, driven by the world.

Witnessing an Era, Laying the Foundation

KYOEI TAIWAN CORP. was founded in 1978 by Chairman Xie Xiu-Nan, and our journey began during the defining era of Taiwan's economic miracle. We didn't just witness this phenomenal growth; we actively fueled it, laying the very cornerstone of Taiwan's automotive care industry. From those early days of hard work and dedication, our core mission has remained unchanged: to provide every car enthusiast with the most reliable protection for their vehicles.

The Rise of Local Craftsmanship on a Global Stage

For decades, the Taiwanese automotive care market was largely dominated by foreign brands. However, as times changed, so did our capabilities. With the rapid maturation of Taiwan's industrial technology, local brands began a powerful ascent. We recognize that true progress requires a global perspective, which is why we actively engage with leading international brands and source premium raw materials from around the world.

By fusing these global resources with Taiwan's masterful manufacturing techniques, we now produce world-class automotive care products and serve as a trusted OEM partner for renowned international companies. Our goal is to show the world that Taiwan's manufacturing prowess extends far beyond the high-tech sector — our dedication to uncompromising quality shines just as brightly in traditional industries. Furthermore, we firmly believe that environmental sustainability is a non-negotiable corporate responsibility. We stand by the conviction that products lacking environmental consciousness belong in the past, and we are deeply committed to integrating eco-friendly practices into everything we create.

Enduring Partnerships, Unwavering Quality

Even as we elevate our proprietary brand onto the global stage, we remain steadfast in our original commitment to our local customers: bringing only the best to the market. We are proud to maintain enduring, strategic partnerships with top-tier brands like FORMULA 1 and MILITEC-1 from the United States, as well as the AION Group from Japan. These trusted allies remain an integral part of our mission to curate the highest-quality products available.

Moving Forward as VANGUARDWAX

To embrace the challenges of a globalized market and clearly communicate our brand spirit to the world, we have officially rebranded as VANGUARDWAX. This is more than just a new name; it is our enduring pledge to excellence. Moving forward, VANGUARDWAX will continue to cross borders and break boundaries. Carrying the pride of Taiwanese manufacturing, we are determined to go further and last longer, bringing an inspiring, world-class experience to car enthusiasts everywhere.
