History
The company was originally founded as a small lumber processing factory in the Linhai Industrial Park in Kaohsiung, known as Kha Shing Lumber Co., Ltd. In 1977, it was acquired by the Gong brothers, who transformed the operation into a yacht shipyard. Just one year later, the first pleasure yacht of the new brand was launched.
Over the next 20 years, production steadily grew, reaching a record of 94 yachts per year. This achievement contributed to Taiwan’s reputation as the "Kingdom of Yachting in Asia," and the shipyard was consistently ranked among the top 20 global yacht manufacturers for yachts over 24 meters in the Global Order Book.
In 2007, the shipyard celebrated the completion of its 1,000th yacht.
One of Monte Fino’s most notable models is the 85 Echo, which received the Custom Yacht Award at the 2014 Motor Boat Awards from Motor Boats Monthly Magazine in the UK.
