(This document is prepared in accordance with the Chinese version and is for reference only. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the Chinese version, the Chinese version shall prevail.)
1. Business Policy
(1) Optoelectronics Department
As a specialist manufacturer of optocouplers and relays, we can respond quickly to market dynamics in terms of making decisions and actions. Our main target markets are those with a large number of users and a wide range of channels, but lacking the capability of designing products. We can provide integrated product specifications, designing and producing services to meet the specific needs of our customers. Furthermore, we will develop new products in line with the trend of lighter, thinner, shorter, and smaller products by applying our core technology. Improve the quality of our products continuously to ensure our dominant position in the market. Taking cost reduction and marketing strategy into consideration, we decided to establish manufacturing facilities in Indonesia to improve the quality of customer services and also the sales performance in the local market. Last but not least, increasing the profitability by rising the sales ratio of high-margin products which will be produced after upgrading production equipment and adjusting product restructure. Tapping into different markets such as industrial automation systems, Artificial Intelligence, automotive electronic parts, and 5[th] -generation mobile networks to seize business opportunities.
(2) LED Lighting
In recent years, the price-performance ratio of LED lighting has improved and its penetration rate in the total lighting market is gradually on the rise. The company had invested in automated production lines in facilities, research and development of new products and service quality improvement to meet the needs of clients. In the U.S. market, we have applied for patents to protect our intellectual property rights to enhance our competitiveness in the market and also increase the market share of our products.
(3) Clean Steam Department
The company is dedicated to achieving net zero emissions in ESG standards before 2050. To achieve that, we will continuously develop high-efficiency, low-cost and long-life energy sources to cut carbon emissions and pollution. The Clean Steam Department is expected to bring advantages and niches to the growth of the business.
(4) Industrial Park Development
The level of investment attraction has increased in Indonesia because of Indonesia’s demographic dividend, the removal of its barriers to foreign investment and tax incentives under the New Southbound Policy promoted by the Taiwanese government and the Investment Act promulgated by the Indonesian government.
To increase the profitability of the group/shareholders, the company has decided to invest in the development of industrial parks. As a part of diversification in operation, it can help various Taiwanese SMEs to not only gain a foothold in the Indonesian market quickly but also jointly polish up the image of the Taiwanese industry. These can be the reasons leading to the increase in our international visibility. The Group since 2008 has been proactive in looking for suitable lands to develop an industrial park. However, we decided to take stable steps regarding industrial development due to worldwide uncertainty in economics, politics, the pandemic and also delay of local construction. As of the year 2022, the company has acquired approximately 161 hectares of land and obtained groundbreaking permits. We will continue to search for desirable lands in the vicinity of the development area.
