Mechema Chemicals International Corp. primarily manufactures oxidation catalysts and battery materials, and provides catalyst waste recycling services. It is the world’s leading producer of PTA (pure terephthalic acid) oxidation catalysts, and has factories in Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, and China. Its products are sold in Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. The company actively collaborates with major multinational manufacturers and has successfully entered the supply chain for electric vehicle batteries. Mechema decided to relocate its production back to Taiwan in response to customer demand, and plans to invest several hundred million NTD to expand its plant in Taoyuan’s Guanyin Industrial Park. The company will hire an additional 13 local employees. The company plans to implement an AI inventory management system and smart equipment in the new production line to shorten the production process and increase capacity. It will also install solar PV facilities to gradually implement energy conservation and carbon reduction. In addition to establishing its headquarters in Taiwan, Mechema plans to use Taiwan as its production and R&D center to develop AI management, develop products with high added value, and jointly drive the development of Taiwan's chemical industry.
Yu Zheng Co., Ltd. is a professional industrial waste treatment company. It mainly processes waste refractory materials, mixtures of civil or construction waste, and general waste, making them into graded aggregates and sand and gravel mixtures, which can be used as raw materials for ready-mixed concrete plants and aggregate plants, or as fillers for public works. Yu Zheng is optimistic about the growing demand for construction waste treatment in northern Taiwan, and plans to invest approximately NT$170 million in Taoyuan to build a construction waste treatment production line. The company plans to hire an additional 40 local employees. The new production line will use AI technology and automated control systems to collect production information in real time, provide management analysis, and optimize operational decisions. The company will use more energy-efficient machinery and equipment to reduce carbon emissions. The investment will be able to transform the waste generated from construction projects into recycled building materials, recycling and reusing resources to create new economic value, simultaneously providing the benefits of environmental protection and a circular economy.
