Greetings!

As we welcome the New Year, I extend my warmest wishes for a year filled with prosperity and good health!

The global landscape is experiencing unprecedented uncertainty, making it increasingly difficult to predict the future of the world economy. Our fastener industry is no exception—numerous challenges lie ahead, demanding our collective wisdom and strategic response.

This year, our industry must embrace innovation, enhance cost efficiency, and improve productivity to strengthen our competitiveness. Overcoming the looming challenges will require proactive management strategies and a forward-thinking approach.

Expanding into overseas markets must not be the responsibility of individual companies alone. A concerted effort from businesses and industry associations is essential to establishing a robust, multidimensional collaboration framework. At the same time, we will actively strengthen cooperation with international fastener-related organizations to maximize opportunities in global markets. By fostering these partnerships, we will ensure that our industry thrives in the expanding global market.

Members of the fastener industry! Let us stand united, pool our collective wisdom, and forge ahead with determination to overcome the challenges that lie ahead. May this year bring you prosperity, good health, and great success in all your endeavors.

Additionally, we have updated our association’s website with new resources, and we encourage you to visit frequently and make full use of the updated content.


Thank you!
