With deep sorrow, Giant Group announces the passing of our beloved Founder, Mr. King Liu, who passed away peacefully in the early hours of February 16 at the age of 93.

To Giant Group, Mr. Liu was not only our Founder, but a leader who consistently guided the organization forward while remaining attentive to the people around him. In 1972, he founded Giant Group in Taiwan. Through a strong commitment to quality and a clear long-term vision, he led the company onto the global stage and helped the world recognize the strength and capability of Taiwan’s bicycle industry.

Throughout his life, Mr. Liu devoted himself to bicycles, believing they represented not merely a business, but a meaningful way of life. He was widely respected as a lifelong advocate for cycling culture and remained a deeply influential figure to colleagues, partners, and riders across generations.

As this announcement comes during the Lunar New Year, Giant Group is sharing the news with the same humility and discretion that Mr. Liu upheld throughout his life. Further arrangements will be planned in accordance with the family’s wishes and announced at an appropriate time.

Giant Group extends its sincere appreciation to all friends and partners for their understanding, support, and companionship during this time.
