Chen Jianren said that it was the first time he visited the industry after taking office. Taiwan's fastener industry is the third largest exporter in the world. In the United States, 4 out of every 10 screws and nuts come from Taiwan. Screws and nuts are Taiwan's glory and pride.

Chen Jianren pointed out that the screw industry had very good production efficiency during the epidemic. Last year, the output value reached 190 billion yuan. After the epidemic, with the impact of interest rate hikes, regional changes, and environmental segmentation, it was under pressure to destock and continued to work to take care of employees.

Chen Jianren mentioned that Chaoyou Industry is a happy industry. With the assistance of the government, it has continuously transformed into a better driving and digitalization, and is constantly engaged in industrial improvement. "I really admire seeing the automatic production energy." Post-pandemic regulations and special budgets help small and medium-sized enterprises obtain financing subsidies and carry out industrial upgrading to continue to shine for Taiwan.
