SUN Rubber Moves Forward in Fukuoka, Japan
With TSMC's expansion into Kumamoto, Taiwan's manufacturing industry has once again become a focal point for Japan's industrial sector. SUN joined TAITRA's precision components trade mission to Japan and participated in one-on-one business meetings with around 100 companies across Fukuoka and the Kyushu region. The discussions were highly engaged, demonstrating strong demand and promising opportunities for collaboration.
During the event, we introduced SUN's specialized roller technologies for semiconductor and electronics production lines, including:
- Precision Transport Rollers
- Dust Removal Rollers
- Anti-Static Rollers
- Conductive Rollers
These products are widely used in wafer and panel fabrication facilities, as well as automated electronic assembly lines. They help improve cleanliness, reduce static-related risks, and enhance overall production yield. This aligns well with the current trend in Japan, where manufacturers facing labor shortages and growing automation needs are actively seeking highly reliable components.
Throughout the meetings, we also observed several major challenges currently facing Japanese enterprises:
- Labor shortages and a declining population of skilled craftsmen
- Rising material and labor costs
- Increasing difficulty in maintaining competitiveness for domestic manufacturing
As a result, Japanese companies have an even greater need for reliable, cost-competitive, and highly customizable manufacturing partners—making Taiwanese suppliers an important and attractive choice.
Fukuoka’s close proximity to Taiwan and Kyushu’s well-established industrial clusters make the region a strategic gateway for Taiwanese companies entering the Japanese market. Through this exchange, we are even more confident that opportunities for Taiwan-Japan cooperation will continue to expand, particularly in the fields of semiconductor equipment, electronics manufacturing, and automation components.
SUN looks forward to working with more Japanese partners in the future and contributing to an even more connected and competitive cross-border industrial supply chain, creating long-term value for both sides.
