The Honorary Chairman (Mr. Feng Jing-Yao) and Secretary (Mr. Wang Shi-Hong) of the Fastener Subdivision of China General Machine Components Industry Association and Kaohsiung City Mayor Han Kuo-Yu were also present to express their congratulations to TFTA 30th anniversary, which further reveals the importance of this epochal grand event.   

 

The management of several well-known fastener old brands as well as their 2nd and 3rd generation were also present to say “Happy 30th Anniversary!” to TFTA, showing the tradition of achieving sustainable operation and seeking betterment in business development in Taiwanese fastener industry. In such a period of industrial upgrade and business transformation for Taiwanese fastener industry, TFTA especially invited the Chairman of Zhong Dao Association of Leadership & Culture to give a speech on “Excellent Leadership and Organizational Transformation.” The meaningful philosophic viewpoints in his speech did make all the attendees learn a lot.  

 

The Host and Guests Say “Happy Lunar New Year” to Each Other  

The Growth of TFTA over the Past 30 Years is Obvious to All

Led by TFTA Chairman Jimmy Chang and TFTA Vice Chairman Josh Chen, all directors and supervisors, consultants, members and more than 200 guests stood up and wished each other a happy lunar new year and a safe and lucky year of the pig. TFTA also expressed their sincere wish that the number of TFTA members will continue to grow and Taiwanese fastener industry will see a more energetic and vibrant development in 2019.

 

In the banquet hall slides were also played, which reviewed the contributions of previous TFTA presidents and chairmen, how the organization was growing to today’s scale, how TFTA was playing its significant role in helping Taiwanese fastener companies to tap into the global market, and how TFTA provided in-time assistance to help member companies survive challenges and difficulties. Due to such memorable past, the friendship amongst all TFTA members has become more consolidated and closer than ever.

 

TFTA Founding President James Su said, “I founded TFTA (former TFTCA) at The Grand Hotel Kaohsiung in 1989 and this year happens to be the 30th anniversary of TFTA. Reviewing the past, I feel really thankful for the effort made and capital contributed by all the previous TFTA presidents and chairmen. Owing to their contributions, TFTA could continue to grow stronger and reach the scale today.I’d like to say many thanks as well to the enthusiastic participation and support of all TFTA members. I hereby wish you all good health, prosperous business, and good luck in the year of the pig.”

 

TFTA 1st Chairman William Liao said, “I’m very happy that I was the 1st Chairman after TFTA applied for becoming a corporation and I’m also very thankful for the contributions of all previous TFTA presidents and chairmen. Of course, I’d also like to express my thanks to other “heroes” who were trying to do whatever they could for TFTA, such as Steven Fang from Fascon, Morris Liang from Starbest and Chin-Chung Chen from Pantech. On the other hand, I’m happy that I could have opportunities to participate in so many TFTA events in the last 3 decades. I did learn a lot and feel lucky that I was then supported by many members.”  

 

In addition to the speech and slides review, TFTA also prepared nearly 30 tables with wines and delicacies as well as a band performance for all attendees, which was quite fun and ended with a great success.
