Che-Wei Chang Representative

Mr. Che-Wei Chang is a Representative at GSIF who brings to the firm two decades experience fostering the internationalization of the Taiwan and China automotive industries.

Mr. Chang began his career as a professor at leading Taiwan universities including National Taiwan University, National Cheng Kung University, and the National Central University, before joining Yulon Motor Co., Ltd. in 1981. After joining Yulon, he teamed up with Hsin Chu and Shih-Fu Lin to design Taiwan's first domestically-produced car - "Feeling." This combination was referred to in Taiwan as the "magic team."

After the Feeling was launched in 1986, he was promoted to Executive Vice President where he was responsible for the internationalization of Yulon Motors. He coordinated a series of plans to facilitate international cooperation with Chrysler, Nissan, and GM Motors, and enhance exports to the US market.

In the late 1980s, Mr. Chang started the trend of visiting manufacturing facilities in Mainland China to establish joint ventures to exploit the local market. During the past decade he has built up strong relationships with Mainland Chinese manufacturers and completed large cooperation projects such as the deal between GM Taiwan and Xiamen Motor Co., Ltd, which resulted in the establishment of King Long Buses. The new company became an agent to manufacture King Long coaches and the BMW 5 Series, a milestone for Xiamen's motor industry.

Mr. Chang graduated from National Taiwan University with a B.S. in Civil Engineering before receiving his Ph.D. at Ohio State University.
