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.”

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.

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.
【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.

YES series was designed with brief lines and geometric cylinder for simplifying outer shape and presenting the absolute image. YES 2 developed with module inlet structure to simplify built-in valve and changed cartridge to be outside of wall not only reducing part and seams of joint but also increasing convenience of replacement and maintenance. Cylindrical handles were machined to be operated facilely. User only need to operate flow rate control handle after well regulate water temperature by the other handle. As users work with lower handle of basin faucet to adjust flow rate or shut off mixer, water will drop into basin for maintaining a clean space easily. Handles were designed at ends of Y shape to reduce size of shower mixer; they could be hot and cold handles or thermostatic and flow control handles. Module inlet structure could be applied into various products with similar spirit and brief look.
Designer observed kinds of organisms to sketch contours of product for expounding orderless growth and concept of meristem. Mixer has been combined with stylish handles and organic spout just like to personally experience the pulsation of life. Installation of concealed valve should be finished before final decorative wall, but there is no chance to rework if there is any mistake. Our brand-new movable cartridge of concealed valve could break the limitation to gain extra 0.4 inch (10 mm) adjusting space after finish installation. Users/plumber could have second chance to move cartridge for correcting mistake and no need to re-work the final wall. Because of movable cartridge of concealed valve, outer handle could keep the same appearance with perfect condition. For our clients, we provide not only a good solution, but also additional value of products for consumers; for plumbers, this valve design is easier to install and provide a better solution among similar products.
