The 23rd Acrylic Creative Design Contest - The Final
The final round of the 23rd Acrylic Creative Design Contest took place on June 1st. This year, a total of 48 shortlisted works were prototyped and presented. Over a span of five months, these finalists engaged in numerous discussions and communications with downstream acrylic fabricators from the northern, central, and southern regions.

Throughout this process, the students not only learned to manage production time effectively but also honed their resilience and execution skills. Each participant seized the opportunity to present their designs to the judges, highlighting the features and advantages of their work in hopes of achieving the best results. This experience was not only a platform to showcase their talents but also a valuable opportunity to learn about acrylic materials and enhance their design capabilities.

KMC has always been dedicated to fulfilling corporate social responsibility and actively focusing on education and social development. With supports of Kaohsiung Ministry of Education and the Ren-Da Industrial Park Company Association, we have partnered with 15 petrochemical companies to establish the "International Petrochemical Industry Specialized Program" in Renwu Senior High School . Since its inception, this program has achieved outstanding results in education and employment, opening up more future possibilities for students. This May, we signed the fourth phase of a three-year cooperation agreement with Renwu Senior High School, marking our long-term commitment to educational development and social responsibility. We believe that through this model of industry-academia collaboration, we not only can provide students with practical skill trainings but also effectively enhance their employability, thereby bringing more positive impacts to the society. Our company firmly believes that the success of a business is not only reflected in economic benefits but also in its contributions to society. In our past collaborations with and by organizing the Acrylic Design Contest for students from domestic and overseas colleges and universities, we have witnessed the growth and progress of many students. They have not only mastered professional knowledge during their studies but also gained valuable practical experience. These achievements are the source of our continuous efforts and have strengthened our confidence to move forward. Looking to the future, we will continue to leverage the influence of our company to promote more projects beneficial to the society. We hope that through continuous efforts and investments, we can provide better learning conditions and development opportunities for more students, enabling them to become the backbone of the society and driving the progress and prosperity of the entire society.
