Yieh Chen Makes Thread Rolling Machines

Yieh Chen Machinery Co., Ltd., founded in 1988, is a specialist in the development and production of thread-rolling machines, with a production facility in Changhua City, central Taiwan. The company boasts it is Taiwan's No.1 specialist in the manufacture of a series of machinery models for the production of hooks, snaps, buckles, shackles, electric parts, springs, clamps, paper clips, and oil seals.

"Our machines are comparable to those made by Japanese or German manufacturers. Our machines feature commensurate quality with prices that are much more reasonable," says Maclin Hwang, general manager of the company. "Thanks to our long-term efforts to develop automation, our machines help users increase production efficiency and effectively upgrade product quality."

Beyond the series introduced above, the company's major product lines include thread-rolling machines, gears, shafts, collets, thread-rolling dies, forming machines, spring-making machines, honing machines, special-purpose machines, molds, and tools. Recently the company unveiled its YC series of spline-rolling machines, which have elevated thread-rolling accuracy.

The ISO9002-certified company sells its machinery models under the 'Yieh Chen,' 'Allstar,' and 'Six Star' brands. The 'Yieh Chen' and 'Six Star' brand names are used for thread-rolling machines and dies, forming machines, and spring-making machines. Gears and shafts are sold to foreign customers on an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) basis; remaining product lines are marketed under the 'Allstar' brand.

The thread-rolling machine is designed for high speed, fully automatic production of a wide variety of threads, including single-strand thread, double thread, and triple thread. The heavy machine is constructed for high stability. The extremely powerful spindle motor allows high-speed thread rolling. The combination of thread-rolling machine and bar feeder provides great savings in terms of labor costs, and upgrades productivity.

Unit prices for Yieh Chen's products range from US$2,700 up to US$170,000 each. The company mainly sells products to overseas markets. At present, mainland China accounts for 40% of its overall exports, the Americas take 30%, Europe 20%, and other areas 10%.

"Yieh Chen is a member of the Six Star Group," notes Hwang. "The Six Star Group has been promoting business diversification over the past few years. With the help of all the member companies under the group umbrella, our business operations have been steadily growing over the past few years, in spite of the economic downturn."

The company says its research and development team continually comes up with innovations that are clearly seen to be of benefit to customers. "Our R&D team has a high capacity to develop innovative machinery models and parts, which has helped us attain a solid position in the global machinery marketplace," Hwang notes. "Our capacity for continuing innovation is a major factor behind our continued growth in recent years, even while the global economy has grown only very slowly." (BS)
