SYM History

The history of SYM goes as far back as 1961.

Founded in Taiwan in 1961, SYM are one of the largest scoota manufacturers in the world. SYM has enjoyed worldwide success, they have quality accredited factories, approximately 2,400 employees and they manufacture over 2,500 scootas a day!

They invest heavily in Research and Development, and they are very proud of their commitment to regularly showcasing new products. SYM has manufacturing plants in both Taiwan and China, they are all overseen with strict management and quality assurance principles. This strength has been the foundation of their ongoing success.

Sanyang Industry Co., LTD. Was founded in 1954 in Neihu Taipei and initially started as a manufacturer of bicycle generator lights. They only had ten employees and a small old office at the time.

With a history of perseverance and determination Sanyang Industry has grown into one of Taiwan’s most successful companies. For nearly 70 years they have focused on continual research and development and leading cutting-edge technology. This has helped build its international reputation as a leader in the motorcycling industry.

Corporate Citizenship

While Sanyang has focused on building the best vehicles possible, they have continued sustainability efforts to help the environment.

Firstly, they comply with Taiwan’s environmental protection standards as well as industrial safety laws and regulations. Additionally, to improve pollution problems, they have equipped their factories with waste disposal facilities for sewage, air pollution, VOCS and waste recycling zones. Whilst endeavouring to minimise pollution levels within manufacturing they are also developing “green products” which are more fuel efficient, lightweight, and recyclable. In 2002 more than $200 million was invested in design and testing facilities towards better management of environmental concerns.

Here at SYM we are also very committed to pursuing and maintaining sustainable practices to minimise waste and any threat to the environment.
