Liberty Times Creative Writing Museum Introduction
Li Ba Dai was founded in 1948, initially starting with steel plate wax paper (oil print). In response to the changes of the times, the founder, Mr. Wang Song-Zhen, seized the opportunity and later imported pencil manufacturing technology from Japan, creating Taiwan's first "88 pencil," which became a classic and timeless legend in the stationery industry. Subsequently, to meet the needs of the stationery market, brands from Japan and South Korea were introduced for sale in Taiwan, gradually transforming into a new era and leading the stationery industry to another peak. Li Ba Dai's long-term efforts have been widely recognized, making it a household name and a perennial business. Since 1966, when founder Mr. Wang Song-Zhen was selected as an honorary manager and met with Vice President Chen Cheng, both Mr. Wang and the company itself have consistently received various accolades and awards from different sectors, such as the Golden Trademark Gold Medal Award, Excellent Product First Brand Award, Outstanding Brand Management Entrepreneur, Outstanding Enterprise, Outstanding Stationery, and the China Golden Signboard Manufacturer Award. In 2006, it was awarded as a Super Brand in Taiwan by the UK organization Superbrands, among many others, making it a prominent figure in Taiwan's economic miracle. Upholding the corporate philosophy of "Integrity and Responsibility, Mutual Respect and Prosperity, Joyful Innovation, and Challenging Excellence," Li Ba Dai insists on offering high-quality products made by the company, providing a variety of choices and customized services that have won the favor of consumers, continuously contributing to the stationery market in Taiwan. The veteran Li Ba Dai factory in Taoyuan transformed itself into the "Li Ba Dai Color Pen Cultural and Creative Museum" in 2019, making it the first example of a facility rebuilt for operation at the original site of the Guishan Industrial Zone. Welcome to step into this remaining pencil manufacturing factory in Taiwan, experience the cultural creativity of color pen stationery, and enjoy the wonderful experience of dining, shopping, and leisure!
