History
After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, the Taiwan Provincial Government and Ministry of Economics Resource Committee jointly incorporated the Taiwan Cement Limited Corporation on 1 May 1946. On 1 January 1951, the company was restructured as Taiwan Cement Corporation.
On 11 November 1954, the state owned company was privatized and became a publicly listed corporation, and the Lukang Gu (Koo) family took over the management. In 1962, the stock was listed under the code 1101, making it the first listed company in Taiwan.
The company diversified, with the cement industry remaining at its core, and became the TCC Group. The TCC Group affiliates include: TCC Green Energy, Hong Kong Cement, Wanqing Cement, Fengsheng Industrial, Guanghe Refractory, Shimin Engineering, Heping Harbor, Dongcheng Quarry, Heping Power, Dahe Environmental Services, Dahe Changbei Environmental Protection, Dahe Dafeng Environmental Protection, Taiwan Express Warehousing, Dahe Shipping, Xinchang Chemical, TCC Chemical, TCC Int'l Ltd., Taiwan Guanghe Construction, TCC Information, Xinchang Investment, Fortune Products Investment, China Rubber International, Nengyuan Technology, and others.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Taiwan Cement” as taiwanese company. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as taiwanese company. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10915565. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1945, 1946, 1951 and 1954.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
