Taiwan’s Machinery Industry – Current State and Development Potential
According to IEK Consulting, in 2018 Taiwan’s machinery industry had an export value of US$27.4 billion. The top three export markets – China, the United States and Japan – accounted for a combined output value of NT$1.18 trillion, an increase of about 7.3% and a continued record high. A number of factors, primarily the stabilization of global oil prices and exchange rates, a recovery of the major industrial economies of Europe at the end of 2016, as well as an industrial upgrade in China leading to an expansion in automation and demand for new equipment, have contributed to remarkable growth in the output values of two industries: high-tech equipment and metal-processing machine tools. While 2017 saw declines from 2016 in a few categories (namely, industrial machinery, other machinery, and metal molds), other secondary machinery industries in Taiwan, including high-tech equipment, metal-processing machine tools, mechanical transmission components, and fluid machinery, all showed increasing output values.
The Machine Tool Industry in Taiwan
Providing Global Equipment Users with the Best Solutions

Approximately 90% of Taiwan’s machine tool and component vendors can be found within a 60km radius in Greater Taichung. All aspects of the machine tool industry, from the manufacture of parts and components to the assembly of whole machine tools, takes place in close proximity here, making central Taiwan the world’s only industry cluster for machine tools and components. Because of the constant quality upgrades and price advantages this creates, Taiwanese components have become the DNA of machine tools in many countries around the world.

Upstream machine tool components include ball screws and linear slides. In particular, Taiwan has become the world’s second largest supplier of ball screws. Meanwhile, Hiwin Technologies Corp. and other companies adequately support Taiwan’s domestic market demand and mainly provide components such as spindles required in machine tool assembly.

INNGRIT's Zero-point Clamping System with exclusive patented floating mechanism is different from general mechanical principles. When the slider is pulled down tightly, the instantaneous floating mechanism will lock the slider upwards, so that the compensation center point can reach the positioning accuracy of 0.005 mm. It can automatically compensate the loss caused by the use of the module. The module's single pull-down force can be as strong as 2 ton, making it the strongest lateral force. Through the standardization of quick mold change, the speed of operations has become a natural thing to achieve the time-saving and high-efficiency Industry 4.0 standard. Designed not only to take into account the functionality, but also study and refine each profile and curve. In addition, our R&D team spent several months to find the alloy materials that have been optimized for wear resistance, high strength, and high hardness in order to withstand the challenges of daily operations on the production line. It will ensure that your Zero-point Clamping System can create value for you process all the time.
