Taichung City, the industrial and commercial hub of central Taiwan, has long been a prime location for manufacturing due to its strategic transportation advantages. The Dadu Mountain Golden Valley is home to the world’s most densely concentrated precision machinery cluster, boasting the highest production value per unit area globally. Nearly 70% of Taiwan’s machine tool component and hand tool manufacturers are based in central Taiwan, forming a unique and highly integrated industrial ecosystem.

Since taking office, Mayor Lu has focused on building a livable city, enhancing the investment environment, and actively attracting businesses. These efforts have encouraged enterprises to establish and expand their operations in Taichung, stimulating industrial growth while also creating a significant population boom and boosting commercial activities. In 2017, Taichung became Taiwan’s second-largest city, and as of March 15 this year, its total population reached 2,849,036, approaching 2.85 million residents.

Recognizing Taichung’s potential, many manufacturers have seized the opportunity to invest in the city. Energy Composites Technology, with its forward-looking vision aligned with global clean energy trends, has focused on the application of composite materials in wind energy and hydrogen energy. Leveraging Taichung Port’s logistics advantages and the city’s well-established energy industry cluster, the company established its factory in the Wuqi Industrial Zone, creating local job opportunities while contributing to the growth of the clean energy sector.
