China Steel Corp. (CSC) recently launched the Taiwan Fastener Service Cloud, a cloud-based business matchmaking system aimed at connecting Taiwanese fastener suppliers with professional buyers throughout the world. The system is expected to help insiders fend off emerging competitors in the future. CSC is the largest steelmaker and wire rod supplier in Taiwan. The company developed the new cloud system with support from National Sun Yat-sen University and major fastener makers in Taiwan, including Chun Yu Works & Co., Ltd., Anchor Fasteners Industrial Co., Ltd., Jau Yeou Ind. Co., Ltd., Jinn Her Enterprise Co., Ltd., and Boltun Corp. The system was announced at a press conference attended by over 100 guests and industry insiders, including Taiwan Industrial Fastener Institute (TIFI)'s new chairman, T.H. Chang. CSC's chairman, J.C. Tsou, indicated that his company came up with the idea as a plan B to help maintain Taiwan's global competitiveness in the fastener market following stalled negotiations between Taiwan and China on a cross-strait trade in goods agreement. ![]() CSC is experienced in building private clouds systems, thanks largely to technical supports from its subsidiary, InforChamp Systems Corp., an IT system integration service provider targeting enterprise users. Tsou stressed that the Taiwan Fastener Service Cloud will help not just large-sized fastener firms to enhance their global exposure, while also providing a platform for smaller firms to showcase their innovative products to foreign buyers. ![]() Bright Growth Outlook According to the latest statistics compiled by Metal Industry Intelligence (MII), a Taiwanese market research department under the Metal Industries Research & Development Centre, a semi-official R&D institute, fastener output in Taiwan reached NT$123.87 billion (US$4.12 billion) in 2013, compared to NT$95.15 billion (US$3.17 billion) in 2006 and NT$112.37 billion (US$3.74 billion) in 2010, with export value and volume of NT$115.2 billion (US$3.84 billion) and 146.1 million tonnes, respectively. Local industry efforts to move upmarket can be seen in the rising average unit price of exported Taiwan-made fasteners, which hit NT$78.8 (US$2.62) per kilogram in 2013, up from NT$65.9 (US$2.19) in 2006 and NT$45 (US$1.5) in 2002. MII predicts the industry's output and exports will amount to NT$124.38 billion (US$4.16 billion) and NT$115.67 billion (US$3.85 billion), respectively, in 2014, and NT$124.73 billion (US$4.15 billion) and NT$116.0 billion (US$3.86 billion) in 2015. The average export price is estimated to hit NT$79.5 (US$2.65) and NT$80 (US$2.66), respectively, in the said years.
