DIY Hardware Maker with CNC Machining Technology
Chang Bing Sees Potential in European Markets
by Tanya Shih, Fastener World Inc.
According to statistics, there were up to 1,275 fastener and hardware companies in Taiwan as of the year end of 2013. With so many competitors around, it would be impossible to secure the market share without showing specialty. This is especially true to those companies established in the 80’s, which have gone through two industrial crises.
Located in Chuansing Industrial Park of Chang hua County, Chang Bing Enterprise Co., Ltd is the experienced hardware maker with the aforesaid background. It was founded in 1976 and has welcomed the joining of the second generation since 2009, heralding a new era for the company.
DIY Hardware Is Chang Bing’s Bestseller in Europe
Certified by ISO 9001:2008, Chang Bing can supply hardware in carbon/stainless steel, copper, plastics, zinc alloy and other materials. It has high R&D ability and has entered the field of CNC machining. Since its day one, the company has released over 100 series and over 1,000 types of products. Noticing the importance of technology, the company introduced CNC technology, which could help expand its product portfolio, improve precision of products, and elevate R&D of molds. Its plant combines automated and semi-automated production lines involving production, packaging, quality assurance, and a mold room. Quality (the yield rate and the precision) and lead time (30-60 days) are strictly controlled in the plant.
Chang Bing’s products are primarily sold to Europe, USA, Australia, Japan, et al. The company initially started by selling hooks including cup hook, square hook, screw eye, screw hook used for wooden buildings, as well as household S hook, gate hook and eye, pegboard hook, storage hook, picture hanging hardware, zinc alloy Towel Rail Brackets, coat and hat hook, etc. Small lot and diversification strategy open up new possibilities for Chang Bing. Currently, orders for fasteners like eye bolt, U bolt, J bolt, turnbuckle and plastic anchor(wall plug) remain stable. Additionally, customized packaging service has become Chang Bing’s critical advantage into the DIY product market.
Automotive Market Drives up the European Market
Europe has always been the heartland of the automotive market. As the global and industrial conditions are warming up, regarding the future trend, Chang Bing thinks it can make R&D investment in value-added products for automobiles, bikes (sports), medical applications and so on. It is notable that such market will have greater demands and more stringent requirements on quality. Gradually adopting new technologies and managing production process is the only way to better guide the company in transition and reach a new business record.
