☍ The History of Makalot The years from 1980s to 1990s were the most challenging years for the garment industry in Taiwan as most apparel production had moved offshore. Unwilling to give up on Taiwan, Mr. Frank Chou appealed to partners who shared his confidence and passion. With a capital of NT$8 million, they created Makalot in 1990, and started building Makalot's success. ☍ Makalot Today With the culture of integrity, team, and sharing, Makalot's management team has broken away from the conventional commerce framework and consistently creates new business models.
