The Asia’s largest dental implant manufacturer, Hung-Chun Bio-S inaugurated its new plant at Kaohsiung Luchu Science Park on Nov. 16, 2014. Kaohsiung City Mayor was also invited to attend this event. The parent company of Hung-Chun Bio-S is Hung Chun Toolings, which was founded in 1991 in Gangshan, Kaohsiung and specializes in production of fastener tooling and related equipment. Recently it has successfully become the first company in Taiwan that is able to produce Class III intrusive medical parts, named “Ti-one 101,” which is also the first dental implant from Taiwan. Products are all produced in the plant from material processing to product finishing. The company successfully widened its product range from traditional metal processing to production of medical parts.

Kaohsiung City Mayor Chen not only praised the change of Hung-Chun for its transition to be a company producing high value-added metallic products (which is expected to reach the revenue of NT$0.7 billion in 2020 as well as create over 300 jobs) and the influence on clustering all the medical part manufacturers in Luzhu together, but also brought the country dental implants similar to quality of other European or U.S. manufacturers’ products. She also added, under the cooperation among the government, industries, and the academia, the total revenue of the medical part industry in Kaohsiung grew year on year from NT$ 0.41 billion in 2009 to NT$1.54 billion last year. It is estimated to jump further to NT$1.65 billion this year. There are now 37 medical part suppliers in Luzhu Science Park and 7 more companies will become one of them this year, gradually forming an industry cluster for biomedical industry. The market share of dental implants this year reached 15% (80% of the supply were from suppliers in Kaohsiung); the market share of artificial joints in Taiwan will be 17% this year and all products are 100% from Kaohsiung.
