Fujitec completes Taiwan elevator plant facility expansion

KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 (Bernama) -- Fujitec Taiwan Co Ltd, a group subsidiary of Fujitec Co Ltd, has completed a facility expansion at its elevator plant in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

The Hsinchu Plant manufactures elevators primarily for the Taiwanese market and also exports modernisation package products to the global market, according to a statement.

Equipment at the plant has been upgraded to increase Fujitec Taiwan’s share of the market in Taiwan and to strengthen price competitiveness in manufacturing and operation strategy.

The facility expansion includes new automated sheet metal fabrication lines and welding robots, with certain areas of the facility operational unattended at night.

These upgrades will improve productivity and enhance the price competitiveness of the company's products. Fujitec expects Hsinchu Plant to produce 1,000 units per year by FY 2024, aiming for further global business expansion under Fujitec’s medium-term management plan, Vision24.

In support of Taiwan's green energy policy, the Hsinchu Plant leases its roof space to a solar power generation company. The operator generates 170,000 kWh of electricity annually from the solar panels, contributing to the generation of green energy.

In addition, the installation of the power generation panels prevents sunlight from shining directly on the roof of the plant, which lowers the temperature inside the plant and contributes to a better working environment.
