the global political and economic situation's instability has led to a shift from globalization and internationalization to shorter

supply chains and localization in supply

chain management.

In response to supply chain restructuring

and production base relocation, machine

tool and accessory manufacturers have

not only responded to the policy of Taiwanese businesses returning to invest in

Taiwan but have also reallocated resources and explored new directions in global

partnerships. For example, YCM has partnered with TRIMILL to strengthen onestop machining solutions for mold, automotive, and aerospace industries; FFG

acquired Germany's MAG Group to enhance its presence in the automotive sector and European market; and Tongtai acquired France's PCI-Scemm and Austria's

ANGER for technology cooperation and

market channel sharing.

David Chuang from TAMI stressed the

importance of machinery manufacturers

continuing to upgrade and transform themselves. Whether in R&D or manufacturing for semiconductors, green energy,

electric vehicles, or aerospace industries,

excellence in machinery technology and

expertise is vital. The development of these application industries also propels the

progress of the precision machinery industry, and close cooperation between industries demonstrates the strength and

competitiveness of Taiwan's manufacturing sector.

This year's EMO exhibition featured more than 1,750 exhibitors from 42 countries. Among them, 144 Taiwanese exhibitors ranked fourth among participating

countries. Taiwanese exhibitors showcased a series of forward-looking concept

products to the world, including automation combined with green manufacturing,

intelligent streamlining of machining processes, and integration of high-performance peripheral smart components. On

the panel stage, Taiwan's leaders also

emphasized that Taiwan's smart machinery field has evolved from single automation equipment to comprehensive smart

solutions.

At EMO 2023, Taiwan provides an

open platform to highlight its active

participation in semiconductor frontend equipment, common industrial

communication protocols, upgraded

components, and other innovative ideas aligned with global trends. In contrast to the slower economic situation

faced by global markets, Taiwan has

once again reaffirmed its active attitude

in exploring different machining application possibilities to global buyers and

media. This further strengthens its position in the global value chain, paving

the way for a more digital and greener

manufacturing future.
