Shares of the Kaohsiung-based company jumped more than 50% from a year ago, landing founder and chairman Lin Tsung-Chi on the list for the first time with a fortune of $2.9 billion. Lin set up King Slide in 1986 as a manufacturer of rails and other fittings for furniture, and expanded into server rails in 2001 when the company secured U.S. computer maker Compaq as a client. Thanks partly to rocketing U.S. sales, which more than doubled year-on-year in 2024 to account for nearly half of the total, King Slide logged a 76% rise in revenue to NT$10.1 billion ($333 million) while net profit jumped 128% to NT$6.2 billion.
