Insight

Chin Tai Sing Precision Manufacturing is an IATF 16949 certified manufacturer with over 20 years’ experience in producing a variety of brass inserts, clinching metal fasteners and CNC components – with the company recently investing in several different machines, and systems, so it can provide customers with additional parts, as well as OEM and ODM services.

Based in Taichung City, Chin Tai Sing Precision Manufacturing (CTSP) has consistently implemented automated machinery and robotics within its production process in order to increase the speed and consistency of production – helping the company’s employees to focus on more complex and value added activities. CTSP has also looked to adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools into its production process, with the aim to predict demand, optimise supply chains and improve operational efficiency. 

“As Industry 4.0 continues to evolve, automation and the integration of Smart technologies, such as the Internet of Things, AI, and robotics, will become increasingly prevalent in fastener manufacturing,” underlines CTSP. “This will lead to greater efficiency, reduced errors and faster production cycles. That is why we have automated systems with ‘real time’ monitoring and inspection of our products, ensuring they meet strict quality standards. With automated vision systems, and sensors, defects can be detected early, which minimises waste and improves product reliability.”

CTSP continues: “We also plan to enhance our design and production capabilities by leveraging advanced digital tools, such as 3D modelling and digital prototyping. This will help to optimise our prototyping and production processes, enabling us to deliver faster and more accurate solutions, as well as reduce lead times and improve the accuracy of our products – catering to the increasingly complex needs of our customers.”

As part of its production facility, CTSP also has its own quality control department, which enables it to carry out testing throughout its production lines. In addition, the company can offer 100% optical sorting to make sure all parts delivered to customers meet the required standards. “We can provide our customers with all the necessary test reports, including PPAP Level III, IMDS, material/surface treatment test certificates, as well as meeting a host of other requirements,” points out the business. “Thanks to our optical sorting machines, and automatic packing system, we can also provide customers with 0 ppm quality parts.”

Another key aspect of CTSP is its commitment to having engineering experience in its R&D department, so it can work with customers in designing parts – helping to keep costs down, whilst creating innovative solutions. “With industries such as automotive, aerospace and electronics requiring more specialised solutions, the demand for custom designed fasteners and advanced materials (e.g lightweight, corrosion resistant materials) will increase,” reports CTSP. “That is why our R&D team is focused on developing new, high performance materials and creating custom fastener solutions to meet the unique needs of industries.”

A mark of high-quality manufacturing

Due to its investments in the latest machinery, dedication to quality, and ability to partner with customers on R&D projects, CTSP has established itself as a leading manufacturer when it comes to ‘Made in Taiwan’ parts. “Taiwanese manufacturers are known for their commitment to high-quality standards, strict quality control processes, plus adherence to global certifications,” highlights CTSP. 

“‘Made in Taiwan’ has come to be associated with well crafted, durable and precise products, which are highly valued in industries such as electronics, machinery and for automotive components. By working with us, customers know that the products they receive have been designed, engineered and produced in a country known for its strong industrial base, skilled workforce and cutting edge technology.”

The company adds: “As a result of its consistent reputation for quality, ‘Made in Taiwan’ has become a symbol of trust in international markets. It stands as a mark of reliability and many global companies choose Taiwanese manufacturers for their expertise and dependable production capabilities. Taiwanese manufacturing stands out from competitors due to its technological expertise, flexibility, efficiency and commitment to sustainability – making it a trusted choice for global markets.”

This global reputation is underlined by CTSP’s customers being based all around the world, with the company working in 50 different countries, with 40% of customers in Europe, 40% in the USA and approximately 20% in Asia. “While global supply chains continue to grow, there is also an emphasis on strengthening supply chain resilience. Companies will need to diversify their supply sources and ensure their operations are flexible enough to adapt to changes in global trade or market demands and at CTSP we can help them,” states the business. “That is why we are diversifying our supplier base and investing in more localised production capabilities. We are also incorporating advanced analytics to ensure better forecasting and inventory management, allowing us to respond quickly to market changes. Additionally, we are planning to have a third factory built that will focus on assembly parts – enabling us to offer customers more options.”

CTSP continues: “We can also offer additional sourcing for our customers who are looking for parts that are not in our production range – using our IATF 16949 experience to examine those parts and make sure the necessary quality standards are met.”

Meeting sustainability needs

A fundamental part of being a global supplier is also being able to meet the growing sustainability requirements of customers, with CTSP committed to reducing its environmental impact by incorporating sustainable materials in its products and adopting energy efficient practices within manufacturing processes. “We aim to meet the growing demand for environmentally conscious solutions in the fastener industry, which is undoubtedly growing,” outlines CTSP. “This includes using eco-friendly materials, reducing waste, as well as optimising energy consumption in production. We are leaders in the Taiwanese fastener sector, known for our innovation, high-quality products and now through our commitment to sustainability. With advancements in automation, Smart manufacturing, and new materials, we have significantly expanded our capabilities – improving both production efficiency and customisation for customers.”

CTSP concludes: “Our aim going forward is to broaden our global presence, reach new markets and forge stronger relationships with international customers. Through continuous investment in research and development, we will also stay ahead of industry trends, providing cutting edge solutions, as well as adapt to the evolving needs of sectors such as automotive, aerospace and renewable energy. We will grow our market share and continue to be recognised as a trusted partner.”
