Taiwan Excellence Energizes Plumbing Hardware Industry with Outflow of Innovation

Taipei, Taiwan, March 26, 2020 – With exports totaling US$1 billion, Taiwan has emerged as a global leader in the plumbing hardware market and established its reputation as the world’s “Faucets Kingdom.” While traditionally focused on OEM services for other brands, Taiwan’s commitment to innovation in recent years has led many hardware plumbing businesses to launch new brands and to become producers of high-value, high unit price commodities. As a result, the industry saw a tremendous price per unit increase of 20.4% compared to the previous year.

For their innovative products, several companies in the plumbing hardware industry received the prestigious Taiwan Excellence Award. These include:

·JUSTIME, for its LUCKY 7 series of bath and kitchen faucets incorporating simple linear designs with trendy Western-style aesthetics to produce simple yet elegant products.

·Caesar Bathroom, for the design of its first toilet for the elderly. It features a massage function and the ergonomic design to prevent numbing of the legs during use.

·And HCG Company, for its chlorine-removing electrochemistry faucet, the industry’s first implementation of electrochemistry technology that greatly reduces the replacement rate of consumables.

Many of the world’s plumbing hardware businesses are small and medium-sized companies with limited resources for brand development, and Taiwan is no exception. Chinger Pan, marketing director of JUSTIME, stated: “Any business with limited resources should pursue the Taiwan Excellence Award,” He further explained: “Not only does the award promote brand value, but award winners benefit from Taiwan Excellence’s comprehensive, integrated marketing services for both domestic and foreign markets.”

Moreover, Taiwan Excellence uses diverse marketing channels to help promote the image of different domestic industries (including plumbing hardware) to the media as well as international buyers. An example is the establishment of a Taiwan Excellence Booth at the ARCHIDEX (International Architecture, Interior Design and Building Exhibition), and the online display of Taiwan’s best plumbing hardware products at the Digital Taiwan Excellence Exhibition Center. This assures that Taiwan’s “excellence” can be witnessed by all around the globe, without physical limitations.
