molder based in Taiwan, Taipei.

The TPR is pleased to feature Jiuh Yeh Industrial as its Case Study for May. We hope you enjoy learning about this innovative company.  

 What is your company niche, and what does your company do that is notable, unique or different?

The most important thing in the tooling industry is innovation, and because of it, we keep improving our skills in (1) gas-assist molds, (2) rapid tooling, (3) mirror surface tooling, and (4) double injection tooling as our company has grown over time, rather than stay in traditional/normal single injection tooling stage. We believe this point makes our company unique and different than others for meeting clients’ demands time after time. Employees also give their feedback. We go after
areas of waste and improve operations on an
incremental basis – and we get immediate results.
 

 When and how did you get into the industry, what

 attracted you to it?

Ray Liu, Managing Director, majored in “Mold/Tooling” in a Technical College in Taipei
and entered this industry after he graduated. He started his present company in 1988 mainly building plastic mold tooling for the consumer electronic industries. Then, their major customers included Foxconn Technology, Aiwa and Panasonic. Today, major customers such as Panasonic and Sony are still our anchor customers. In 2006, we branched out to other industry sectors such as automotive and medical devices. In 2006, through a close mutual friend, Frederick Wong was invited to join as a shareholder and partner and he is responsible for business development, and sales and marketing. (Frederick Wong graduated with a diploma in Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, and also has an advanced diploma in Strategic
Marketing, Singapore Polytechnic and a business degree in International Marketing from
Edith Cowen University, Australia.)

Relate a notable "best time" for your company.

1994~1998. During this period, it was a very good year for mold and tooling manufacturers and orders were plentiful and prices were good, too.

Similarly, relate notable challenges that your company has overcome.

When we had an order from Denso, a tier 1 automobile supplier, for car pipe tooling with fully auto-unscrewing from top and bottom. Normally it needs two motors on each side and takes around 90 second for cycle time. We achieved and client was happy about it. Of course, the client would more pleased if we could make cycle time shorten; so after our team conducted a study out some special know-how, we not only improved cycle time by 50%, we also saved a motor cost for our client and that was beyond what the client expected!!

When you are working on projects with your customers, what aspects would you like
them to better recognize?

We would like them to better recognize us as their reliable subcontractor for their molding and tooling solutions and they can always count on us for their project.

List newly acquired technology, machinery or key personnel (in last year).
 

We recently purchased a YAZDA High speed CNC & 3D inspection machine.

Has your company recently expanded?  Plans to expand or form partnerships/alliances?

We plan to expand a molding facility in Vietnam to provide direct molding services to the automotive and the consumer electronic industries there.

Are you involved in any industry organizations or educational programs related to the trade?

Yes, we are a member of the Taiwan molding organization.

 What do you think about changes occurring in the industry due to globalization?  How has it affected the way you do business?

Clients will demand higher quality, low costs and diversity in tooling due to globalization, and sourcing has resulted in intense competition from lower cost China.

Internet marketing is becoming very important and clients can easily access new sources of supply.

Our company puts a strong emphasis on, and shows respect for, our customers’ Intellectual Property and also on on-time delivery.

What will the industry look like in 3 to 5 years?

Technology and new skills development will be the key of the future; and an increase in efficiency and productivity will result in savings on labor costs, decreases in environmental pollution and the providing of high quality products to maintain a competitive edge over China.
