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.

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.
