by 16% as compared to the previous year. The total
number of international exhibitors also rose by 33%.
Exhibitors in the Automotive Supplies & Accessories
section increased by 17%, and exhibitors in the Tools &
Accessories section increased by 19% respectively.
All visitors were able to find innovative products and
new business partners from the exhibition. Those looking
to identify multiple local partner or distributor agents
were able to tap onto Taiwan’s abundant material
resource and technology capital from its many OEM and
ODM businesses. Mr. Amos from Italy ACB Tools who
had successfully connected with many targeted compa-
nies via THS business matching service shared that, “I
am happy to meet many suppliers directly through the
show. It was a fast-track process for us to identify a
credible potential partner who can meet our business
need.”
Success through Market Collaborations
Taiwan is a highly active and strategic market that
pushes technological advancements to shape further
development of the international hardware industry.
International hardware producers from Europe and other
parts of the world look forward to partner local compa-
nies to boost domestic manufacturing capabilities and
provide access for Taiwanese companies to enter export
markets.
According to Mr. Chen from Infar Industrial, “another
success at this year’s participation shows that the Taiwan
Hardware Show provides solid business prospects for
international companies who wish to reach newer
markets or partners across and beyond Taiwan.” Market
players coming to Taiwan can optimize a conducive
business environment with warm government support
