It has been 25 years since Yow Chern Co., Ltd. was established in 1990. According to president George Hsu, the company initially started with just NTD 5 million funds. It started with the most fundamental fastener processing and then expanded territory step by step to construction, furniture and woodworking. In recent years it gradually becomes a qualified supplier of automotive fasteners and components with its products widely trusted and supported by clients in the EU, U.S.A. and Canada. Today its annual revenues have reached as high as NTD 900 million and the annual production has increased to 12 thousand tons. The company has been also certified to ISO 9001, QS 9000, ISO/TS 16949, TAF, as well as EU construction fastener certifications like EN14566, EN14592 and ETA. Additionally, this R&D-centered company has even become a licensee of Torx®, Torx Plus®, MATpoint®, and MAThrea® patents. President Hsu said firmly, “Each procedure adjustment will have some impact on our competitiveness!” (…)
