One. Letter to Shareholders
I. Pre-word
Dear Valued shareholders,
On behalf of the management team, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for your longstanding support and trust in the Company. The year 2025 has been a challenging year for us. Faced with global economic fluctuations and cyclical changes in the industry, our overall operational performance declined compared to the previous year, and we were unable to achieve our original growth targets. We would like to explain the reasons and outline our outlook for the future.
In the China market, the economic recovery in 2025 was weaker than expected, and intensified competition within the industry led to increased pricing pressure, which posed significant challenges to the Company's revenue and profitability. In response, the Company actively adjusted sales strategies and product mix, while continuously strengthening cost control and operational efficiency to maintain competitive advantage.
In the Taiwan market, although the electronics chemicals industry was initially expected to gradually recover in the second half of 2025, the actual pace of recovery was slower than anticipated, and demand in end-user markets remained cautious, resulting in lower-than-expected shipment momentum. Nevertheless, we observe that the industry fundamentals remain intact, with ongoing trends in customer technology upgrades and process improvements.
Looking ahead to 2026, the continued increase in capital expenditures by end customers indicates that the industry is gradually moving toward a positive cycle. With the advancement of advanced manufacturing processes, deferred demand for electronic chemicals is expected to rebound. The Company has proactively optimized capacity planning and technology, and strengthened relationships with key customers.
In the face of short-term headwinds, the Company will continue to adhere to prudent management principles, focusing on core technology R&D, enhancing product value, and strengthening market competitiveness, while carefully managing financial structure and cash flow to ensure long-term sustainable growth.
We recognize that market conditions can change rapidly, but we believe that the industry cycle will ultimately return to a growth trajectory. The management team will continue to lead the Company responsibly and proactively through economic cycles to create long-term value for shareholders. The following summarizes our operating performance in the past year and the outlook for the year ahead.
II. Business Report
(I) 2025 Operation Results
- Implementation Results of Business Plan
In 2025, consolidated net revenue amounted to NT$4,726 million, a decrease of NT$1,731 million (26.8%) compared with NT$6,457 million in 2024.
The consolidated net income after tax was NT$815 million, down NT$918 million from NT$1,733 million in 2024.
The basic earnings per share for the year were NT$10.2.
- Budget Implementation Status
The Company did not disclose its financial forecast for 2026, therefore, there is no need to disclose the budget implementation status.
- Research and Development
The Product Development Department continues to develop innovative processes and
products for various industries to strengthen core competitiveness. Upholding the principle that “technology and persistence are the foundations of success,” the Company allocates 3-5% of annual revenue to R&D. Current focus areas include:
(1) Patent Development and Equipment Autonomy
Through precise industry trend analysis, the Company targets manufacturing and invention patents with high commercial value. In particular, it focuses on high-purity fluorine materials required for advanced processes (e.g., 2nm), and strengthens the autonomous development of key production equipment to reduce external dependency and establish technological barriers.
(2) ESG Green Products and New Applications
Leveraging over 40 years of experience in fluorine material processing, the Company develops innovative products in response to global energy-saving and carbon-reduction trends, including applications for waste chemical recovery systems, industrial water reuse, and key semiconductor consumables. By enhancing material durability and recyclability, the Company assists customers in achieving ESG goals and explores new opportunities in the circular economy.
(3) Improvement of Production Processes
The Company continues to develop automated production and testing equipment to meet customer quality requirements and integrates new equipment into R&D efforts.
(II) Outline of 2026 Business Plan
-
Management approaches and important policies
(1) Accelerate the development and application of new products.
(2) Expand factories and equipment to meet new orders.
(3) Fully improve processes to enhance operational efficiency.
(4) Conduct staff training to improve product quality.
(5) Strengthen customer service to meet client needs. -
Business expectation and important production and sales policies
(1) Global Localization of Services: Align with core customer plant development schedules, strengthen resource allocation in Taiwan and China, and evaluate potential expansion of overseas service locations.
(2) Market Segmentation Strategy: Implement a “high value, high service” strategy in mature-process markets to counter pricing pressures; in advanced-process markets, strive to be the preferred partner for joint development with customers, establishing growth momentum.
(III) Impacts of future development strategies, external competitive environment, legal environment and overall business environment
The Company will dynamically adjust production capacity between Taiwan and China to respond to geopolitical factors and supply chain relocation. In the short term, focus will be on adjusting product mix and cost control to navigate the downturn; in the long term, the Company will actively pursue advanced-process expansion opportunities as customer capital expenditures rebound, aiming to regain growth momentum in 2026.
Finally, we sincerely thank our shareholders for their steadfast support of the Company’s management direction. We will continue to enhance corporate governance, actively fulfill environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments, demonstrate operational resilience in a dynamic market, and advance sustainable development, creating maximum long-term value for all shareholders.
We wish you all good health, peace and prosperity
Chairperson: Hou, Chia-Sheng

(II) Overview of Industry:
- Current state and development of the industry
Fluorine materials are acid and alkali resistant, resistant to various organic solvents, and are insoluble in almost all solvents. At the same time, fluorine materials have the characteristics of high temperature resistant and non-adhesive, and the coefficient of friction is extremely low, and it can also be used as lubricant. High-tech and high-quality industries use them extensively, and they are indispensable for traditional industries as well. They have even been used in daily life, from machines and equipment operating in high-temperature chemical environments to non-stick pans and water pipes, all of which can be seen in daily life. Their importance and popularity are evident.
Fluoropolymers have excellent chemical resistance and electrical insulation properties, and they do not change their properties at high or low temperatures. Fluoropolymers are used when other plastics are not applicable, so they are called the king of plastics. Their permeation resistance, chemical resistance, non-flammability, non-precipitation and high cleanliness properties are unsurpassed by other plastic materials, making them widely used, especially in the electronics and petrochemical industries. As such, they occupy a place in the electronics and petrochemical industries, which have strict requirements on the reaction environment.
Our main business is the processing of fluoropolymers, from semi-finished materials, various fluorine sheets, films, materials and tubes, to lined and coated products such as lined/coated storage tanks, lined/coated reaction equipment, lined/coated pipes, pure fluorine containers, cleaning equipment, process equipment, pipes and connectors, etc. All of which are indispensable members of the industry. The industries we mainly serve are electronic industry (semiconductor and panel) and petrochemical industry, and the current status of the main industries of application is described as follows.
83
(1) Semiconductor industry
In addition to acid and alkali resistance, fluorine products for the semiconductor industry demand strict cleanliness for chemical-related applications. Fluoropolymers can meet the needs of the semiconductor industry for chemical applications.
Because of the ozone-resistant, high cleanliness and no precipitation characteristics of fluorine materials, fluoropolymer products play a critical role in the production of electronic grade chemicals, which are key materials in the upstream of the electronics industry. The EL Grade chemicals used in the electronic manufacturing process require high cleanliness, especially in the high-end IC process, where the level of cleanliness will determine the yield of the final product. Only high cleanliness raw materials can produce high quality electronic grade chemicals, such as high purity solvents like hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, ammonia for the wet etching process, process gases like NF3, SF6, C4F8, CF4, HF for the dry etching process or cleaning process acids. Therefore, in the overall IC process, in order to ensure the quality of the final product, all devices and equipment that come into contact with chemicals, from the chemical supplier to the plant's loading tank car, filling machine, transport piping, equipment and equipment for storing/reacting chemicals and special gases, to the piping at the process end, must be made of materials with corrosion resistance and high cleanliness without precipitation. Therefore, fluorine material is crucial in the semiconductor chemical system and is the only choice from purification production, storage to transmission.
In addition, the chemicals used in the semiconductor process are large in volume and corrosive, and after the recycling and purification process, the discarded chemicals still have the value of reuse, which is in line with the green issue of environmental protection. Therefore, corrosion-resistant fluorine materials are required at the downstream end to ensure the quality of subsequent chemical recycling operations. As the semiconductor industry continues to upgrade its manufacturing processes, the industry's requirements for cleanliness (Particle and Metalion) in the process are becoming more stringent, and the importance of the related product applications is becoming more apparent.
Outlook and Key Trends in the Semiconductor Industry.
- Geopolitical Factors and Regional Supply Chain Restructuring.
Influenced by geopolitical developments, the semiconductor industry is undergoing significant regional shifts in its supply chain.

Among these, Taiwan will continue to concentrate investments in 2nm and more advanced process technologies to maintain its technological leadership, while China, under its localization policies, is expected to increase its global share of 12-inch wafer capacity to 25% by 2026.

(2)Panel industry
The panel industry is a high-tech industry and is a key component of most electronic products. The panel industry is a highly mature industry, and the industry is now striving to break away from the production capacity competition and transform into "Display everywhere." In particular, under the development of the field economy, we have diversified our panel business model to include food, clothing, housing, transportation, education and entertainment, as well as new businesses such as smart retail, health business, circular economy and smart industrial services. It is an indispensable human-machine interface for the future life and thus establishes a new ecosystem for the industry.
The maturation and expanding application of OLED technology has become a major trend in the display industry. Initially used in smartphones, OLED is now being adopted in tablets, laptops, monitors, wearable devices, and automotive displays. The penetration rate of OLED laptops is expected to rise to $3\%$ surpass $5\%$ by 2027.
Strategic Deployment of Taiwanese Companies and Emerging Applications
In terms of technological breakthroughs, a report by TrendForce indicates that leading Taiwanese panel manufacturers, such as AUO and Innolux, are actively investing in emerging technologies including Micro LED and Fan-Out Panel-Level Packaging (FOPLP). According to semiconductor industry forecasts by IDC, geopolitical developments are reshaping global supply chains. The expansion of panel manufacturers into semiconductor packaging and advanced technology development is expected to be a key strategy for maintaining autonomy and securing market leadership in an increasingly multi-regional and multi-ecosystem competitive landscape.
Market Supply-Demand and Shipment Trends.
Industry analysis by Display Daily indicates that 2025 represents a pivotal year for panel manufacturers to move out of losses and transition toward higher value-added
products. In particular, Korean manufacturers have re-established profitability through OLED technologies. According to LG Display's financial data, OLED products accounted for 61% of its revenue in 2025, demonstrating the effectiveness of its strategy to phase out LCD operations.
Meanwhile, industry trackers (as cited by Display Daily) report that Samsung Display (SDC) held approximately 41% of global OLED revenue share in 2025 and is currently constructing an 8.6-generation IT OLED production line, targeting the tablet and laptop markets beyond 2026.
With respect to end products, TrendForce research indicates that the industry will face significant cost pressures in 2026:
TV Market: TrendForce estimates that global TV shipments in 2026 will be revised downward to 194.81 million units (a year-on-year decline of 0.6%), mainly due to rising prices of memory, panels, and precious metals. Notably, memory costs have increased from approximately 2.5~3% to 6~7% of the TV bill of materials (BOM).
Smartphone Market: TrendForce reports that global smartphone panel shipments will decline by 7.3% year-on-year to 2.14 billion units in 2026, marking the end of the growth cycle. However, in terms of specifications, AMOLED penetration is expected to increase from 41.2% in 2025 to 43.2% in 2026.
Market Size and Growth Outlook.
The display panel market is projected to grow from USD 166.8 billion in 2025 to USD 199.84 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.68%. According to DIGITIMES, the rise of AI technologies is expected to stimulate device upgrades, boosting panel shipments and ushering the display industry into a growth phase.
(3) Petrochemical industry
The petrochemical and plastic industries are the pillar industries of various industries. All kinds of daily necessities used in food, clothing, housing and transportation are made from chemical raw materials such as plastics, rubber and artificial fibers, such as plastic products, rubber products, cleaning agents, artificial fibers, pigment dyes, adhesives, plasticizers, pesticides, cosmetics, etc. Their applications are quite extensive.
Upstream of the petrochemical and plastic rubber industry chain are crude oil, light oil refined from crude oil, gasoline, diesel oil, kerosene, fuel oil, lubricating oil, etc. The refining process of crude oil includes first, physical separation of gravity, distillation, evaporation, crystallization, absorption and adsorption, extraction; and second, chemical reforming cracking, restructuring, isomerization, alkylation, polymerization, and the by-products generated by the refining process such as sulfuric acid has strong corrosive properties, so fluorine products with strong chemical resistance can be used in the upstream end of the petrochemical refinery process.
87
After entering the midstream section, the upstream raw materials are cracked to produce basic petrochemical raw materials such as ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene, phenols, etc., and the above raw materials are then polymerized, esterified, alkylated or other chemical reactions to produce plastics, rubber, artificial fibers and other chemical raw materials. At this stage, due to the large number of chemical reactions involved, the petrochemical process must overcome the characteristics of high temperature, high pressure and high vacuum, while acid and alkali corrosion resistance is the main demand. Therefore, the design and production of petrochemical process equipment, such as the production of various reactor, storage tank and tower design and efficiency improvement, lined pipe design and manufacturing and installation engineering, heat exchanger design and manufacturing, filter, valve and hose design, manufacturing, etc., can be created by the characteristics of fluoropolymers to create a high-performance and high-yield process environment.
Under the challenges of environmental and climate change, in response to the increasing scarcity of resources, drastic changes in material prices, changing consumer preferences, development of green energy, reduction of waste and avoidance of ecological havoc caused by waste, the petrochemical industry is prompted to reduce the environmental impact of its own operations and to make more effective use of limited resources to maximize resource efficiency. This kind of thinking will encourage enterprises to consider the reduction of resource waste and increase the use of recycled materials when developing new products, so as to introduce a circular economy and respond to the green trends, which in turn will help the industry to transform and innovate the business models.
- The correlation between upstream, midstream and downstream sections of the industry:

- Development trends of products
(1) Fluorine materials
Due to the characteristics of fluorine materials, various fluorine processing fields, the expansion of fluoropolymer material technology applications and the development of composite materials have become the goal of the industry's efforts to provide customers with better manufacturing and service quality, as well as to meet the various needs of the specialty chemical, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, optoelectronics and machinery industries.
(2) Process equipment
The process supply equipment technology is becoming mature. In addition to the increasing demand for cleanliness as technology advances, the future trend is to have the ability to customize, design and adjust equipment, process design and plant construction methods to meet customer needs. In addition, due to the huge investment in the production process of the semiconductor and panel industry, any failure in the process supply process may result in huge losses, therefore, customers demand high quality and stability, and therefore have higher loyalty to quality suppliers, which raises the entry barrier for late entrants.
In addition, as environmental protection issues continue to develop in the technology industry in various countries, the concept of waste reduction and recycling is no longer compatible with the increasingly stringent environmental protection regulations and social needs, and innovative solutions to remove, reduce and replace chemicals from the process must be developed at the source.
- Competition situation
(1) Fluorine lining equipment
In Taiwan, there are only two Japanese companies as our main competitors in the IC process supply chain of the high-end market because of the strict requirements for high purity of products. In general, there are two to three local companies in the middle- and low-end markets for applications that require less cleanliness and corrosion resistance.
In recent years, China has been investing in the development of the IC industry, so the Japanese and Korean fluorine processors have been setting up factories to grab the market. For high-end advanced manufacturing processes, suppliers are more carefully selected due to the more stringent customer requirements. In the IC industry, there are many local manufacturers in China that can provide products with competitive price because of the relatively low technical requirements in the middle- and low-end markets.
In Asia, Japan and Korea are relatively advanced and mature markets for the IC industry, so they have established complete supply chains for upstream and downstream fluorine products. Due to regional and ethnic characteristics, it is less possible for the semi-finished and finished products of fluorine processing to be exported from Taiwan.
(2) Fluorine application materials
Fluorine application materials include fluorine lined pipe fittings, and fluorine raw
89
material tubes and sheets. For fluorine lined fittings, these products have more local production characteristics than fluorine lined equipment. Teflon lined fittings require high chemical permeation resistance, high corrosion resistance and high purity performance with low contaminant precipitation. Therefore, the selection of raw materials, different manufacturing techniques, process equipment requirements, SOP implementation, finished product QC inspection, and R&D team results are all critical to the success or failure in terms of quality. Among the global competitors, except for the advanced countries such as Europe, America, Japan and Korea, our products rank among the top in the world in terms of quality of high-end lining fittings. The Company has been striving to expand the product range of lined pipe fittings and become one of the most extensive suppliers of lined pipe fittings in the world. Our products are used in the semiconductor industry, panel industry, petrochemical industry, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry, environmental protection and recycling industry, etc.
In terms of fluorine raw material tubes and sheets, the Company is a global material supplier, focusing on high-specification and high-purity applications. At present, there are only five or so companies in the global market that have the ability to make fluorine plastics into high grade sheets. We have a similar market share in Asia as those of our European and Japanese counterparts.
(3) Fluorine engineering revenue
After decades of development, the technology of plant engineering has become mature, but the complexity of engineering management and the nature of rapid response services still test the organization's ability to respond, especially because the contents of high-tech process plant supplies are dangerous and need to meet high safety, high stability, high cleanliness, automatic design and quality standards. The design and quality standards require long-term customer certification and word-of-mouth recommendations, making the overall management threshold high and making it difficult for potential competitors to enter the market.
The Company has been engaged in fluoropolymer research for 40 years, and has many patents and ISO certifications. Over the years, we have displayed a lot of high-quality performance, we not only have a place in the high-tech and petrochemical industry in Taiwan but also have obtained orders from the state-owned, high-tech industry and private enterprises in China for many years. We are highly competitive in terms of technology and quality.

II. Overview of Market, Production, and Sales:
(I) Market analysis:
1. Sales region for major products (services)
The Company and its subsidiaries currently provide fluoropolymer equipment, fluoropolymer application materials and integrated services mainly in the domestic market and Mainland China.
2. Market share
The Company's production and sales scope covers the upstream, midstream and downstream of the fluoropolymer industry, and can provide complete solutions to meet customers' needs. Therefore, the Company covers a wide range of markets, from the supply of raw materials, sheets and fittings to manufacturers in the industry to the supply of various fluoropolymer products such as drums and tanks, tower joints and other finished fluoropolymer products, and even the planning of fluoropolymer-related systems and equipment so we cover a wide range of markets. As far as the supply of raw materials, sheets and tubes is concerned, there are only a few companies in the world that have the ability to supply sheets and tubes of fluoropolymer, and we are one of them. As for the planning of fluoropolymer application equipment and plant systems, the Company mainly provides system design, equipment manufacturing, piping construction, installation and testing services for high-tech industries such as semiconductor and panel manufacturing. There is no industry research institute that provides statistical information on the industry to which it belongs, so there are no clear statistics to be used as the basis for calculating the market share.
According to SEMI reports, the global semiconductor industry is entering a new phase of robust expansion, driven strongly by AI technologies, data centers, and demand for edge devices. Capital expenditures for global 12-inch (300mm) wafer fabs are expected to surpass USD 100 billion for the first time, reaching USD 107 billion, with total investments projected to amount to USD 374 billion between 2026 and 2028. This investment boom reflects the high priority that countries place on localizing semiconductor supply chains and achieving self-sufficiency, aiming to secure technological leadership through the restructuring of the industry ecosystem.
Construction and expansion activities are taking place worldwide, including in China, South Korea, Taiwan, the Americas, Japan, Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Each region demonstrates a clear strategic positioning within the semiconductor value chain:
China: Driven by policy initiatives, China is expected to raise its global share of 12-inch wafer production capacity to 25% by 2026 and continue to lead global equipment spending with USD 94 billion projected between 2026 and 2028.
Taiwan: Taiwan is expected to invest USD 75 billion over the next three years, focusing on advanced processes at 2nm and below (sub-2nm) and maintaining global leadership in CoWoS advanced packaging.
South Korea: South Korea plans to invest USD 8.6 billion to support global generative AI demand, particularly maintaining a lead in HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) technology.
In addition, global silicon wafer shipments are projected to rebound by 5.4% and reach a record high by 2028, reflecting strong market demand for next-generation technologies such as GAA architectures, back-side power delivery networks (BSPDN), and AI-oriented memory. Overall, the global expansion of 300mm wafer fabs will establish a critical technological foundation for the AI-driven digital economy.
3. Future supply and demand, and growth of the market
As the technology and demands in the high-tech industry are changing rapidly, the semiconductor process is becoming more and more sophisticated, and the requirements for materials and equipment are becoming more stringent. Suppliers need to adapt to the pace of market changes and expand their business development to survive and grow rapidly under the elimination mechanism between superiority and inferiority in the market.
As for the supply side, there are many competitors in the middle- and low-end markets due to the low technical requirements of fluoropolymer processors, but there is a lack of high quality suppliers in the high-end market, such as the material and equipment supply chain for the semiconductor industry processes and electronic chemicals, and there are few suppliers who can provide products that meet the requirements of advanced IC processes. Therefore, the Company has positioned itself to target the high-end market. For example, in the electronics industry in Mainland China, the Company is the leader in the Chinese market and is emulated by Mainland China companies. In addition, the Company has a proven track record in the electronic chemical and semiconductor industries in Taiwan and Korea, so the Company is the preferred partner of our customers.
The petrochemical industry has become more careful about the safety of chemical operations in response to regulations and industrial safety requirements. The Company is able to achieve one-stop control of the production system, from the raw material end to the final product, so that we can maintain stable production or even improve it with full control of product quality and industrial safety requirements. With these two prerequisites, it is not easy for latecomers to enter this high-end petrochemical market.
Competition in China is fierce, mainly due to the long history of the chemical industry in China and its well-developed supply chain. The Company's strength lies in the selection of raw materials with international standards and the stable quality of production under high safety requirements, therefore, the Company differentiates itself in China with high-end quality and safety requirements. The Company is also one of the leading suppliers of the chemical industry in China, and continues to accumulate and expand its chemical customers.
The SEMI report indicates that global silicon wafer shipments are expected to rebound by 5.4%, reaching 12,824 million square inches (MSI), and are projected to reach a record high of 15,485 MSI by 2028. This growth is primarily driven by strong demand related to AI,
98
such as logic chips and HBM memory, despite a relatively slower recovery in non-AI applications.
In the equipment market, driven by AI technologies, global semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales are projected to reach USD 138.1–145.0 billion in 2026, marking three consecutive years of growth. Among these, capital expenditures for 300mm wafer fabs are expected to surpass USD 100 billion for the first time and rise to USD 138 billion by 2028. The main growth drivers are investments in logic chips and HBM spurred by AI computing, as well as continued equipment procurement in regions such as China, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Taiwan is a global leader in high-end semiconductors, and continues to maintain R&D momentum to update processes in an attempt to close the gap with other competitors. In addition, China continues to increase its investment in the semiconductor industry, not only to accelerate its independent semiconductor development but also to actively invest in the development of the semiconductor industry, in order to establish a complete supply chain for its local upstream and downstream, as well as the recent U.S. government's intention to impose export controls on China's semiconductor industry, which will also help China's semiconductor industry to shift the benefits of the order. As the trade conflict between China and the U.S. continues, the European and U.S. markets can no longer rely entirely on China, and need a supply chain that they can control.
In the petrochemical industry, amid slowing global economic growth and insufficient demand momentum, persistent overcapacity in China continues to spill over into global markets, resulting in narrowing product spreads. In addition, ongoing trade protectionism and geopolitical conflicts have heightened operational and supply chain risks, and the petrochemical sector is expected to continue facing severe challenges of oversupply.
However, in response to structural overcapacity issues in its petrochemical industry, the Chinese government is expected to implement supply-side reform measures, including the targeted elimination and consolidation of petrochemical facilities, accelerated upgrades of aging plants exceeding 20 years in operation, and strict controls on new capacity additions in feedstock segments that may exacerbate oversupply. Meanwhile, some industry peers in Europe and Asia have already begun to reduce or shut down production lines due to intensifying competition and energy transition pressures, which may help partially alleviate the global oversupply situation.
Geopolitical instability has contributed to rising oil prices, while extreme weather events have disrupted supply. Combined with a slowdown in new capacity additions globally and easing tariff-related disruptions, the supply-demand dynamics of the petrochemical industry are showing signs of a potential upward turning point. Market expectations suggest that the industry may enter a key price-spread recovery phase in the first quarter of 2026, potentially emerging from a prolonged downturn and entering a recovery cycle. However, both demand and supply fundamentals still face medium- to long-term challenges, and further structural support will be required for a more sustainable recovery.

4. Competitive advantage
(1) Vertically integrated upstream and downstream products with excellent and stable quality as well as cost advantages
The quality of the semi-finished products (such as Sheets, Liners, Parts, etc.) required for our processing has a key influence on the characteristics and quality of the materials used in the later stages of processing. All the raw materials required for our processing are produced in our Zhangbin Plant. Compared with other raw materials suppliers, one-stop production not only improves production efficiency, but also controls cost and quality, and it is less prone to errors in the integration process. The raw materials required by us are sourced from international leaders such as Chemours, Daikin and 3M, which provide stable and high-quality raw materials, and the final products can be traced back to the raw material batch number. All manufacturing processes are independently controlled by us, so we have good control over the quality of our products.
(2) Customized products, complete product line, widely used in multiple industries
Our main products are fluoropolymer application materials and fluoropolymer lining equipment. We use fluorine materials as the center of the circle to design and develop products related to the upstream and downstream needs of the industry chain, while industry peers are mostly limited to the processing of a single material or the use of a single material. Therefore, we are able to offer a wide range of different production methods when our customers have special customization needs. In addition, the threshold for standard products is relatively low and there are many competitors, while the technical demand for customized products and special processes is higher, which not only raises the competition threshold but also increases the gross profit. We have a wide range of materials and processing technologies, and this type of product serves a large niche.
The Company's product lines can be applied to industries such as semiconductor industry, panel industry, petroleum and chemical industry, energy industry, chemical production and manufacturing industry, etc. In addition, environmental regulations are becoming more stringent in various countries, and companies are emphasizing social responsibility (CSR) and are also aiming for green processes, which benefits the market expansion of our energy and environmental protection waste reduction products, and such demand is not limited to high-tech industries.
(3) With 40 years of experience and a dedicated R&D team as the cornerstone, we continue to improve product quality
As the IC process generations continue to advance, semiconductor manufacturers are putting forward corresponding requirements for their supply chains, especially after entering the 3nm process era, the requirements for electronic-grade chemicals are also rising, from PPT Level (ultra-pure electronic-grade chemicals) to the next level. The requirements for equipment are also advancing with the times.
Since its establishment for nearly 40 years, the company has attached great
importance to staff education and training as well as the recruitment of various professional personnel, and regularly and irregularly sends staff to participate in various educational trainings to strengthen their technical level and ability. In addition, we actively cooperate with universities and colleges to develop research and development of various technologies in order to maintain our leading position in technology and at the same time, to follow and lead the trend of product upgrades and replacements in order to gain the first opportunity in the market. We aim to strengthen our services and business with customers by offering competitive prices and quality, in order to satisfy customers' one-time purchase needs, and further enhance customer satisfaction and order stability. Our products always grow together with our customers in the industry, and we are ready to continue to move on to the next generation.
(4) We insist on producing and selling high-quality products, localizing production services and strengthening customer relationships.
The most important basis for the survival and development of a company is to provide high-quality products and the electronic chemical industry has even more stringent requirements for quality. Therefore, the Company implements "Total Quality Insistence" and our first priority is to continuously improve product quality to meet customer needs, and enhance customer service, which is helpful for product innovation, speed and perfect combination of technology to gain customers' trust. In addition, our production and service offices are located in Taiwan, China and the United States, so we can provide customers with nearby products as well as timely and thoughtful services. In the midst of the global shift in the electronics and chemical industries, the Company is able to utilize the advantage of our extensive presence to achieve "seamless connection" to our customers' localized services.
(5) We have the ability of construction and subcontracting to enhance our competitiveness.
In addition to stable quality equipment and piping material suppliers, customers also need excellent engineering and construction companies, or even planning capabilities to provide engineering design and advice, and to propose improvements in professional processing. We can provide a complete one-stop service, from single item production to construction and installation, which can not only speed up the commissioning time of customers, but also effectively reduce the error of integration of various interfaces.
- Favorable and unfavorable factors of development prospects, and corresponding measures
(1) Favorable factors:
a. Emerging technology development continues to drive demand for semiconductors, so it is optimistic about the business opportunities from the related supply chain in the future.
With the development of 5G and the continuous rising demand for high-performance computing and other chip applications, the introduction of 5G will drive the expansion of various services, as well as the continued electronicization of
101
vehicles and the advancement of emerging technology fields, such as AI and the Internet of Things, which will also drive the demand for the semiconductor industry.
With the increase in capital expenditures for plant construction or expansion in high-tech industries, the demand for process supply systems and equipment will increase, and the benefits of plant expansion will emerge gradually. The Company has established a good cooperation relationship with the high-tech industry in Taiwan and China for many years, and has gradually gained a foothold in the U.S. and Southeast Asian markets. The Company has a good reputation and track record in Taiwan and China, and is highly competitive in high-tech industrial processes.
b. New technology development brings new markets as manufacturers continue to replace obsolete process equipment.
The demand for process supply system is generated by the development of technology and upgraded with the advancement of technology, and the peripheral process equipment has to be upgraded with the process advancement in terms of process techniques and specifications to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of the end customers in the high-tech industry. With the rapid development of technology, the old process equipment is no longer sufficient, so manufacturers must continue to replace the obsolete equipment with the trends. At present, high-tech process supply equipment is mainly used in the semiconductor industry, panel industry, solar industry, petrochemical industry and energy industry, etc. As new technologies, new products and new industry ecosystems are formed, the scope of application of process supply equipment will continue to expand, creating new market opportunities for the Company.
c. The trend of local production and demand for factory construction are emerging.
The impact of the trade war between the U.S. and China has driven up the business transfer opportunities in the supply chain. The de-Americanization of the Chinese industry and the demand for local production of U.S. manufacturing industries proposed by the U.S. have led to the emergence of the trend of local production plant construction and related technologies are being actively introduced. In addition to providing services to our existing customers and growing together, we expect to expand our business in new markets and build a comprehensive network of local domestic sales channels.
d. Growing environmental awareness increases demand for recycling and treatment of various chemicals.
Countries around the world are stepping up their efforts to control chemicals and placing increasing emphasis on environmental protection. Advanced countries such as Europe, the U.S. and Japan have gradually banned potentially dangerous chemicals, and strengthened environmental regulations. The Company also continues to develop green business, including the development of an integrated system for the
102
recycling of waste solvents. The recycling, reclamation and reuse of waste solvents generated by high-tech companies after production not only effectively reduces production costs, but also forms an effective way to protect the global environment. In line with the global trend of environmental protection, the Company is developing green energy business, which not only fulfills its corporate social responsibility to protect the earth's ecology but also drives the Company's future business growth.
(2) Unfavorable factors and countermeasures
a. Environmental protection and industrial safety awareness are on the rise, and standards are becoming increasingly stringent
The impact of global climate change on the economy, society and the environment has become more and more serious in recent years, making environmental protection awareness increasingly important to the world. The government has been promoting the awareness of occupational safety and the protection of the occupational environment in recent years, so the standards and regulations are becoming more stringent and the costs are increasing.
Countermeasure:
In order to implement environmental protection and industrial safety, we have set up a dedicated environmental safety unit to be responsible for environmental protection facilities, planning and improvement, and education and training of plant personnel. We have also set up comprehensive pollution prevention equipment and cooperate with professional organizations to conduct regular inspections, and introduce advanced processes and technologies to reduce treatment costs, meeting the requirements of environmental protection and industrial safety so that we can fulfill our social responsibility.
b. Severe competition in the industry and price cutting in the market
In the high-end market of the electronics industry, Taiwan, Japan and Korea are the main sources of mature and more advanced technologies, while China has been vigorously promoting the development of the electronics industry in recent years. The industry peers from Japan and Korea follow their counterparties to invest in China, and have gradually taken a place with their investments in China, and may evolve into main competitors in the future. In addition to the original technology, the end-customers in each country have their own mature supply chain and it is more difficult for manufacturers in other regions to enter.
In addition, in the middle- and low-end markets, because of the lower technical requirements of customers and the large number of suppliers, the market competition is more intense, causing competitors to cut prices, resulting in a general decline in profitability.
Countermeasure:
103
The Company has been deeply involved in the fluorine processing industry for many years, and has the ability to produce key raw materials in-house and control the production progress, so it can effectively control the project costs and provide customers with competitive product quotations. In addition, the Company's subsidiary in Jiaxing has a production base and can provide related equipment to nearby local customers in Mainland China, which can save transportation costs, customs duties, etc. Our price is competitive compared to those of foreign manufacturers. In the future, the Company will continue to establish a good localized supply chain in order to control costs, maintain a competitive price advantage and increase future business opportunities. In addition, the Company will enhance customer loyalty through advanced technology, excellent product and construction quality and reasonable prices, and also increase its competitive advantage through excellent business reputation.
c. It is not easy to cultivate professional talents
The process supply system requires professional knowledge of chemistry, machinery, instrumentation and control, as well as the ability to manage construction, and to design and install a suitable supply system tailored to the customer's production technology, process model and product characteristics. With the rapidly changing technology in the high-tech industry, the complexity of process supply systems is increasing and experienced professionals are needed to meet the design needs of our customers. However, it takes a lot of time and experience to develop good professionals, so it is not easy to cultivate them and this affects the progress of our market development.
Countermeasure:
We manage to increase corporate visibility and attract talented people through stock listing on TWSE. In addition to establishing a good working environment, and using comprehensive welfare measures and related employee motivation measures to enhance employee motivation, we provide complete employee education and training, and establish a transparent and institutionalized promotion channel to make employees identify with the Company in order to retain outstanding talents.
