Taiwan’s Household Equipment, Hardware and Hand Tool Industry
Taiwan's hand tools are the world’s unsung champions! Every year, Taiwan’s tool industry earns US$4 billion from exports of OEM wrenches and pliers. Globally reputed as the “Kingdom of Hand Tools,” Taiwan is one of the world’s top three export countries in this sector, which is one of the island’s most prominent industries. Nearly 70% of enterprises in the hand tool industry are concentrated in the Taichung and Changhua areas.
Ongoing Growth for Two Years Running
According to Taiwan’s Department of Statistics, the number of plants and workers in the hand tool industry is steadily increasing year by year. As of 2017, there were 2,166 factories and about 48,000 workers. The majority of manufacturers are SMEs, and over 70% have fewer than 20 employees. With 70% of the factories centered in Taichung and Changhua, Taiwan’s hand tool industry has a complete upstream, midstream and downstream supply chain.
More than 50% of well-known international mid-range and high-end hand tool brands are purchased from Taiwan.
Taichung’s Golden Valley: The World’s No. 1 Machine Tool Industry Cluster
At the foot of Mt. Dadu in Taichung City is Taiwan’s “Golden Valley” of precision machinery, with over 300,000 employees and an annual output value of NT$900 billion. It is the world’s number one precision machinery cluster in terms of density and per unit area output value, hosting six industries: machine tools and machinery parts, photovoltaic panels, bicycles and parts, woodworking machinery, hand tools, and aerospace.
“Taiwan’s mid-range and high-end hand tool OEM ranks No. 1 in the world.”
- Huang Hsin-Te, Vice Chairman of Taiwan Hand Tool Manufacturers’ Association and Chairman
of AllProfessional Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Global Hardware Industry Trends

According to technical research consulting firm TechNavio, the global hand tool market will have reached US$125.5 billion in scale by 2022. Over 50% of this is taken up by the North American and Europe markets, home of the world’s largest hand tool import and export countries, with vibrant DIY cultures.

Germany is an important export expansion market for Taiwan’s hardware hand tools and DIY applications. According to the Taiwan External Trade Development Council’s iTrade platform, Germany is Taiwan’s third largest export market in this sector. In 2017, the output value of Taiwan’s exports to Germany reached US$218 million, an increase of 4.8%, second only to the United States and China. In addition, Germany is also Taiwan’s second largest export market of fasteners. In 2017, fasteners exported to Germany accounted for about 9.5% of the island’s total export value, amounting to nearly US$400 million, or US$2.6 per kilogram, and a 10.5% increase in average unit price compared to the previous year. German products with Taiwanese fasteners have long held leading positions in the global automotive, healthcare, and machinery and equipment manufacturing industries, an indication of Taiwan’s importance in Germany’s fastener market.

【Built-in functions to achieve smart water management】 The smart meters can analyze data, such as, 1.Showing leakage symbol and days to remind consumers of the leaking pipes. 2. Manual reading is not essential because smart meter will log daily, latest 8 days and 8 month’s consumption and these data can support water utility to do water balance management or find leaks in DMA. 3. Static days, tamper days and reverse day’s data will help water utility manage consumption easily. 【IoT applications to replace manual reading and provide added-value】 1.The data will be uploaded to the cloud and consumers can check data on the platform by mobile APP. 2.Manual reading is outdated and smart applications is priority. Smart meters can analyze data instantly without sending data to the cloud. 3.Smart water meters can connect to NB-IoT, LoRa, 4G protocols. Taipei city, Mazou islands, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam have implemented smart water meters well.
1) Integrated earthquake early warning(EEW): MT-2 connects to the Central Weather Bureau, which will automatically alert about impending earthquake and estimated arrival time. The alarm is also activated within the whole area alarm when the earthquake strikes. It also works with a built-in TTS system as a refuge evacuation message announcement. Both functions can let people take the early signs to mitigate losses.<br /> 2) Multi-functional daily use: In addition to the earthquake warning function, MT-2 also has a built-in multi-functions such as automatic cycle broadcasting schedule, displaying environmental information like time, weather, air quality, and etcetera.<br /> 3) Ensuring safety design: unlike most EEW systems in the market which has only single function, which means the system do not run frequently with less fault detection. With this most of the available systems do not react when there are emergencies. The MT-2 integrates EEW on a daily basis and continues to operate and ensure to continue to play vital roles during and before earthquakes.

M-Tap is a unique and innovative deck mounted wash station, which allows hand washing and hand drying procedures to be accomplished in one single deck. After washing your hands, you can dry your hands directly. Making the procedure of hand washing becomes very easy and fast. The excessive water upon your hands will not splash or sprinkle all over the place due to the movement of your hands. The modular design concept makes the public bathroom space more interesting. M-Tap is composed of two components, including table component and blowing faucet component. Table component is located underneath the sink, while blowing faucet component is located right above the sink. To match up with different architectural design, the wash station has developed various styles of faucets for customers to choose from. Apart from the design of deck mounted faucet, wall-mounted extension faucet is a new option for customer to select.

Intelligent dampers are used in the bridges and houses for shock absorption. Because the dampers are installed in the house structure and bridge facilities, it is quite difficult and inconvenient to check whether the inspection function is still normal. With the structural design, this newly developed dampers can automatically perform the function of filling in the equipment and remote monitoring when the silicon oil leaks slightly in the equipment to observe the leakage of the dampers and feedback of the earthquake and vibration, the information is transmitted to the far end, and the house structural technician can rely on it. Relevant information is used to determine whether the dampers need to be maintained and whether the vibration sustained by the dampers are reasonable, and conduct a preliminary study on the structural safety of the house.Therefore, ASHUN has applied for patent of new inventions and apply the patent on damper’s design, the patent number is I660130、M566771.
Tightened with screws, and the data of the tighting process is saved. Through the setting of parameters, the speed of the motor and the strength of tightening can be controlled. One screw can set five different strokes to perform the task of tighting. The targets of each stroke are torque, time and number of thread, respectively. Example : Step1: The speed of the screwdriver is 800rpm, and the number of forward turns is 3 turns. Step2: The speed of the screwdriver is 600rpm, and the rotation is reversed by 0.1 second. Step3: The starting speed is 400rpm, and the forward torque is 10Kgf.cm. Step4: The speed of the screwdriver is 1100 rpm, and the number of forward turns is 5 turns. Step5: The starting speed is 100rpm, and the forward torque is 36Kgf.cm.

1. Torque classification by color: human factors engineering is also been implemented. Different color represent different torque to prevent improper use. 2. Anti-reversible structure: One way ratchets design keep the product from improper use and SOP for manufacturing process to guarantee the quality and stability of product. 3. Variety of BIT set: the adapter can be applied to different kind of tools, such as manual tool wrench, air impact wrench etc. 4. Overload protection: Slip occurs between the components to interrupt the transmission of power in the event of a torque exceeds the setting preventing the damage of overload. <br /> 5. Physics of friction application: Slip occur between the contact regions as the torque exceed the preset value, it stabilizes the torque transmitting to the output component.With all these benefit reduce the cost due to disposable tool during manufacturing process and the damage caused by improper torque transmitting to the screw.
