Evergreen Group

The Evergreen Group (Chinese: 長榮集團; pinyin: Chángróng Jítuán) is the organizational designation used by a Taiwan-based conglomerate of shipping, transportation, and associated service companies. The Evergreen Group arose in 1975 from the diversification of the original Evergreen Marine Corporation, which was established in 1968 and currently operates as the world's third largest containerized-freight shipping company. Today, the Evergreen Group encompasses the Evergreen Marine Corporation, Evergreen International Corporation, EVA Air, Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation, Evergreen Air Services Corporation, Evergreen Air Cargo Services Corporation, and Evergreen International Storage and Services Corporation. Additional divisions and subsidiaries exist within several Evergreen Group companies, such as Uniglory Shipping Corporation and Uni Air.

Evergreen Marine is the seventh-largest containerized shipping company in the world, with a fleet of over 225 ships calling on 240 ports worldwide in about 80 countries. Evergreen Marine Corporation includes subsidiaries/divisions Uniglory Shipping Corporation, Hatsu Marine Ltd., and Italia Marittima S.p.A.

In 2021, the Ever Given container ship was stranded for nearly a week in the Suez Canal and caused a major obstruction that interrupted international maritime trade.

Evergreen Steel Corporation's main business activities include manufacturing and assembly of steel structures and maintenance and repair of shipping containers. In the past, it was also involved in shipbuilding, and built a number of ships.

The predecessor of Evergreen Steel Corporation, named Kaolun Industrial Corporation at the time, was founded in 1973, and renamed to Ever Master Industrial Corporation in 1982. Another predecessor, Ever Valor Industrial Corporation, started operations in 1984. The two companies merged (under the older company's name) year after, in 1985, and the merged entity was renamed Evergreen Heavy Industrial Corporation in 1987.

The company underwent further mergers (with Evergreen Superalloy Corporation in 1990, Ever Pioneer Steel Corporation in 1998, Green Steel Structure Corporation in 2009), acquired equities of its subsidiaries (of Super Max Engineering Corporation in 1997, of Hsin Yung Enterprise Corporation in 1998, of Mingyu Investment Corporation and Green Steel Structure Corporation in 2000, of Ever Ecove Corporation in 2018), and was further renamed numerous times (to Evergreen Development & Network Technology Corporation in 2000, to Evergreen Development Corporation in 2001, to Evergreen Steel Corporation in 2011).

It went public in 2019, and was listed on Emerging Stock Board of Taipei Exchange in 2020 and on TWSE in 2021.

Evergreen International Corporation includes Evergreen International Hotels, which operates the chain of Evergreen hotels and resorts worldwide, a Cultural Development Division, and the Evergreen Symphonic Orchestra.
