Why Taiwan?
With an annual production output of US$ 5 billion, Taiwan is the 4th largest machine tool producing country in the world. A third of the total production value is contributed by machining centers, which is US$800 million. Undoubtedly the machining center is the bench mark product of the Taiwanese machine tool business.
