Right Tools, Best Craftsmanship: Taiwan Excellence to Host Virtual Hardware and Fastener Industry Press Conference and Exhibition

May 12th online press conference spotlights innovations from award winners whileindustrial loft-style pavilion uses augmented reality to showcase breakthrough products

Taipei, May 4th – Rising above COVID-19 shelter-in-place challenges, Taiwan Excellence will provide international audiences with a first look at some of Taiwan’s most innovative hardware and fastener products during its upcoming Taiwan Excellence Virtual Hardware and Fastener Industry Press Conference on May 12, 2020 at 4:00PM Taipei time. Also slated to launch right after our May 12 press conference, our 24/7 exhibition center featuring an industrial loft-style pavilion with augmented reality demonstrations of featured products from 28 Taiwanese companies will open its virtual doors to global buyers and the public from anywhere, at anytime.

Despite fierce international competition – and due in part to Taiwan’s innovative thinking, precise division of labor and a complete supply chain – the country’s hardware industry has been gaining strong momentum. In 2019, its hand tool industry export value surpassed 3.79 billion US dollars, earning Taiwan a top three worldwide ranking. The industry’s transformation is evident not just from its transition from traditional OEM to smart manufacturing and environmentally-friendly products and production, but also in its application of digital marketing and online conference strategies to expand business opportunities and establish Taiwan’s precise industrial image and its hardware industry’s global leadership.

Right Tools, Best Craftsmanship: Taiwan Excellence May 12th Virtual Press Conference

Hosted by Mr. Walter Yeh, CEO of the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), Taiwan’s foremost trade promotion organization, Taiwan Excellence’s virtual hardware and fastener industry press conference will cast the spotlight on this rapidly-growing industry as well as on four winners of the prestigious Taiwan Excellence Award: Jing Fong industry Co., Ltd., Medical Intubation Technology Corporation (Mitcorp), Sheng Tai Brassware Co., Ltd., and Airboss Air Tools Co., Ltd.

Taiwan’s finest hardware and hand tool innovations, exemplified by these companies, will be unveiled at the May 12 online press conference.

1. Jing Fong industry Co., Ltd.  -- Prevailing Torque Type Hexagonal Nuts with Flange

Jing Fong’s new take on the standard nut-and-thread design improves contact tightness without stripping the threads, allowing for extraordinary anti-loosening and anti-vibration ability. This leap forward in driver safety has prompted German auto-manufacturer Daimler to utilize the Jing Fong nut technology in their luxury Mercedes Benz automobiles.

2. Medical Intubation Technology Corporation – X2000 HD Videoscope

This videoscope series have already been exported to the United States and more than 20 countries in Europe. The technology, which was originally used in medical endoscopy, allows auto and aircraft repair technicians to see the inside of an engine and diagnose problems, saving disassembly time and avoiding related maintenance risks. For example, the maintenance personnel at the Ferrari Maintenance Factory in Italy took out an industrial endoscope and extended the thin tube at the front end into the engine to investigate the fault through the screen. These videoscopes account for 100 to 200 million NTD in revenue for Medical Intubation.

3. Sheng Tai Brassware Co., Ltd. – JUSTIME YES 2 Single Handle Wall-Mounted Basin Mixer

Recipient of the “2020 Taiwan Excellence Award” and the “2019 Red Dot Award,” Sheng Tai’s  modernized faucet is designed as a Y-shaped geometric column with agile lines and circles, forming a perfect ratio. Free of past redundancies, it provides an attractive appearance with the purest composition and a new handle design using metal cutting techniques to increase the holding torque, thus presenting a delicate texture.

4. Airboss Air Tools Co., Ltd. – Air Discharge Adjustment Pneumatic Wrench

Dispensing of the need to set up additional control switches, this high-quality, newly developed pneumatic wrench effectively solves the shortcomings and limitations of existing pneumatic tools which lack the ability to change speed and torque once they are powered up. The pneumatic has many applications, such as for manufacturing and assembling vehicles, auto locomotives and bicycles to increase production capacity.
