LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TAITRA, along with Taiwanese hand tool manufacturers, will continue showcasing their innovation and competitiveness in a challenging industry during the 2017 National Hardware Show. The show will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Centre. Visitors to the exhibition can gain a firsthand look at the diversity of Taiwan’s industry at the Taiwan Excellence Pavilion (booth number 1420) from May 9th to 11th.
Taiwan’s hand tools are still growing exports in an economically
challenging environment.
In 2016, Taiwanese hand-tool makers
saw exports of US$3.06 billion, which represents a 8.51% growth over
2015. The USA is still the largest destination for Taiwanese hand tools,
taking in 29.6% of overall exports, followed by China, Germany, Japan,
and the UK, respectively. In regards to the largest sources of the USA's
imports, Taiwan is the fourth largest importer into the USA. In 2015,
the value of imports reached US$0.7 billion (7.8% of all tools imported
into America). Despite the economically challenging environment, the
value at which the USA imported from Taiwan still grew by US$0.07
billion (9.8%) in 2015. These figures point to Taiwan’s sustained
development in recent years.
Taiwan can meet demands in the connected hardware market with its IT
credentials and the ability for customization.
Taiwan is
especially good at creating multifunctional, all-in-one products, with
the ability to make small-volume productions for a wide range of items.
Today, Taiwanese companies are fusing together products with
digitalization, meeting ever-changing trends with innovation. Around 80%
of Taiwan’s 600 hand-tool manufacturers are gathered in Central Taiwan,
providing a collaborative and fast responding supply chain for the whole
industry. All this activity falls within a 10 km radius. It includes a
comprehensive supply chain and seamless integration between central and
satellite factories. The flexibility of its supply chain allows
Taiwanese hand-tool companies to meet any demand in manufacturing, such
as molds, heat treatments, surface treatments, plating, and packaging.
Most importantly, Taiwan’s exceptional IT infrastructure makes it easy
for the local industry to rapidly adapt to any new technologies in the
market.
Taiwanese hand-tool manufacturers take advantage of the strength of this integration and its IT credentials, ranking Taiwan 1st in sockets and associated components, 6th in hand-tool exports and 3rd in unit price worldwide.
