Taiwan's Fasteners Hold Strategic US Industries Together
28 November 2024
Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) is unveiling several case studies to illustrate how Taiwan leads production worldwide of high-value, high-precision fasteners, powering the aerospace, AI, electric vehicle, and construction industries.
In the US, growing AI, aerospace, electric vehicle, and construction industries are driving high demand for various high-quality parts, including advanced fasteners. As the largest fastener exporter to North America, Taiwan leads the way globally in fasteners with a half-century-old industry.
Taiwan is also the third largest exporter globally, accounting for around 13 percent of global production, according to Fastener Europe. The majority of its metal exports are metal fasteners, such as screws, nuts, and bolts.
With over 1,800 fastener manufacturers, Taiwan has a highly developed industry further advanced by its Taiwan Industrial Fasteners Institute (TIFI), established in 1969.
The advantages of Taiwan's fastener makers are that their deep expertise enables them to provide advanced innovation and extensive customization.
A one-stop shop with 25 years of experience, CPC implements automation and cutting-edge machinery to create precision-engineered screws at scale, using innovative materials and designs.
The company has its own manufacturing plant and in-house R&D capabilities to offer unique, customized solutions, focusing on long-term customer success. Driven by the slogan "small screws make great buildings," its tailored solutions for the construction industry include bi-metal screws, zinc die casting capped screws, and stainless-steel capped screws.
With a global client base across 30 countries, Fivetech has a robust R&D team dedicated to enriching servers and data centers worldwide with tool-less, user-friendly mechanical components.
For example, its captive screws are a tool-free solution for fastening servers, storage, cooling, and other hardware for data centers, particularly those used for AI.
They provide engineers with easy maintenance, locking, and unlocking; prevent the loss of small parts in data centers; and offer a high degree of customization.
