A new chapter is opened for the development of added-value manufacturing between Taiwan and Japan. The Greater Taichung area with the technology corridor and a golden valley of industrial cluster has always played an important role in the manufacturing sector in Taiwan. To assist domestic companies in grasping business opportunities with Japan and improve their technical expertise, the Small and Medium Enterprise Administration, MOEA organized the “Linking Next-Generation Manufacturers - 2018 Taiwan-Japan Manufacturing and Processing Technology Business Opportunities Matchmaking Conference” today (November 14). Ten high-quality manufacturers from Fukui Prefecture formed a delegation to Taiwan to discuss business opportunities with small and medium enterprises in Taiwan.
Small and medium enterprises in Taiwan and Japan, particularly Fukui Prefecture which is known for its manufacturing industry, enjoy close relations. They have organized seven matchmaking events for business opportunities with Taiwanese companies since 2012. Taiwan and Fukui Prefecture share many similarities in their industrial development. In addition to pursuing industrial technology upgrade and actively seeking regional cooperation, Fukui Prefecture industries, governments, and academia also closely collaborated to increase energy and vigor for technical advancement and industry strategies. Domestic companies can therefore learn from their experience.
Fukui Prefecture has leveraged its solid foundation in world-class textile and eyewear optics to achieve outstanding performance in electronic products, electronic components, and electrical and mechanical manufacturing. To meet the characteristics and advantages of the manufacturing sector in Greater Taichung, the companies that visited Taiwan this year mainly included companies that specialize in metals, composite materials, and peripheral products. They included Yamauchi Matex, Takefu Special Steel, and Hokuriku Roka which all specialize in metal processing and precision manufacturing. Their products exhibit high levels of expertise and encompass golf clubs, building materials, and aerospace applications. Kawasaki Semiconductor Technology has unique high-tech deposition process for silicon wafers. The century-old company Emori & Co., Ltd. is a professional trading company that has conducted exchanges with the textile industry in Taiwan since the 1960s. During their visit to Taiwan, they hope to expand Taiwan’s advanced optics and professional design and manufacturing capacity to Japanese markets.
The manufacturing industry in Fukui Prefecture has a long history and it has achieved maturity. Marvel Wood, winner of the 2016 “Wood Design Award”, developed an environmentally friendly agent that does not contain heavy metals and delivers great anti-corrosion and anti-ant performance that effectively prolongs the useful life of wood products used outdoors. Wakasa chopsticks (painted chopsticks) has been designated as a traditional national craft. its largest manufacturer Wakasa Center takes advantage of the popularity of Japanese food and hopes to make use of Taiwan’s leverage in Asian European, and American markets to expand overseas markets with Taiwanese companies.
Small and medium manufacturers and service providers can seek matchmaking opportunities for funding, market expansion, and strategic alliances in the “Small and Medium Enterprise Management and Growth Added Value Program”. The Program has facilitated business collaboration of billions of NTD since its inception. Companies that seek collaboration for technology, marketing, and funding as well as those that seek to actively expand foreign markets are invited to visit the “Small and Medium Enterprise Matchmaking Business Opportunities Integrated Service Network” (www.technomart.org.tw) for information on events.
