Shih Hsiang Auto Parts Co., Ltd.

Suspension parts, control arms etc.

Shih Hsiang Auto Parts Co., Ltd. is the largest and most comprehensive supplier of aftermarket (AM) suspension and steering parts in Taiwan; while in terms of product comprehensiveness, the firm is also a leader-of-the-pack in the international market.

Since its inception in 1978, Shih Hsiang has made constant and intensive investments in product development, and is now capable of supplying more than 3,000 control arm models for almost all popular Japanese, European and American cars. The company is widely recognized as the world's largest and most-comprehensive supplier of AM control arms for American cars already, but it never let up its efforts to catch up with those in the European- and Japanese-car segments.

The TUV ISO 9001-approved Shih Hsiang set a new milestone in operation expansion in two years ago, when it completed construction of a modern and massive logistic center adjacent to its factory in central Taiwan, to house more materials, key components, semi-finished and finished items, in addition to its impressive inventory of US$11.5 million to US$15 million worth of semi-finished products.

However, the firm already announced that it had also acquired another land next to the new center in central Taiwan's Taichung, preparing to further expand its logistic center again in a short period.

According to Shih Hsiang, stocking ample semi-finished products enables immediate assembly to reduce lead time, and can save cost and storage space, adding that his company works closely with well-established subcontractors to secure immediate supply of key parts. With the inauguration of the new logistic center, the maker claims, Shih Hsiang aims to shorten the average delivery time to less than 30 days from about 60 days currently. However, the firm has a even-more ambitious goal: in three years, Shih Hsiang will manage to achieve the goal of delivering products upon receiving orders!

Consistently expanding its product line, Shih Hsiang develops an average of 120 new items per year, with an annual R&D investment of US$2.3 million to US$2.9 million. Backed by the most advanced manufacturing equipment such as computerized numerically controlled (CNC) machines and welding robots, the company is internationally famous for its ability to handle small-batch, large-variety orders in the line.

Shih Hsiang currently operates a plant in Taiwan with around 230 employees, and another factory in Shanghai, China with over 260 workers. Their combined annual output is 2.8 million to 3.0 million control arms.
