Meri Lilin

Established in 1980 in Taipei, Lilin started with a small plant with an area of 1620 sqm.  With a humble beginning of only 3 to 5 employees, the company developed  a wide range of CCTV products including TUBE cameras, rotating platforms, all-purpose rotating platforms, channel selectors?distributors, amplifiers and tripods. 

With the growth of its business, Lilin purchased its own plant in Sanchung in 1985 with an area of 12,600 sqm for more production capability and flexibility.  The larger space also allowed Lilin to be more concentrated at the R&D and production of various elements of monitoring systems.  The booming securities industry in Taiwan at that time brought a surge in surveillance monitoring demands, which in turn generated plentiful  orders for video cameras and other products.  The number of Lilin’s employees  increased from 5 to over 50. The company’s video product line saw a major advancement from TUBE to CCD and from B/W CCD to color CCD models. Meanwhile, overseas operations were set up one after another. The first overseas branch of Lilin came in Hong Kong in 1987 and three years later in 1990, two other branches were established in Guangzhou, China and France.  The Taiwan-based enterprise was ready to go to the world to establish a global service network and provide customers with more and better choices.        

Thanks to the endeavors of Lilin’s staff, the company was able to purchase its first building in the Wuku Industrial Zone with a total area of 39600 sqm in 1992, nearly tripling the size of the previous plant site. This new location enabled Lilin to further refine its R&D system by establishing the R&D department which developed more hi-end monitoring systems and peripheral items that enhanced the integrity of these systems.  Lilin was also the first company in Taiwan to successfully develop the fast dome camera which provided better effects for video taking during both day and night.  Progress was also made for the development of Digital Video Recorders amongst other products continued to be developed and innovated.

Merit Lilin did not slow down its pace in the setting up of overseas operations during this period either. Currently there are 11 overseas branches and the manufacturer has a long-term goal of building a global service network for its clients to use in conjunction with its products.

With the diversification of the product line and its related increase of business, the original buildings became inadequate and the another building was purchased in 2007 with an area of 87,500 sqm to give the employees a more spacious and comfortable workplace.  The R&D team became even stronger and passed the ISO9001 certification in 2003, a recognition of its maturity and professionalism.  The product line developed by Lilin had progressed from analogue to digital; The DVR line progressed from its initial models to MPEG4 and H.624; more complete functions, unique exteriors and easy installation and removal were realized on fast dome camera.
