UK-based Renishaw Expands Taiwan Operations

  • Wednesday, 26 October 2016 03:07

UK-based precision engineering firm Renishaw has opened a new "significantly" larger facility for its Taiwan subsidiary in the Taichung City Precision Machinery Innovation Technology Park.

 

The move in October drew Taiwanese officials and representatives from Taiwanese industry to the new centre that covers over 1,100 square meters and includes product showrooms, training facilities and live demonstration areas, marking 16 years of operations.

“The new facility enables us to demonstrate our full range of market leading industrial metrology products and it is also testimony to our strong commitment to offer a high level of service and support to our end users, OEM customers, distributors and partners, as we aim to help raise efficiency and product quality for local manufacturers,” said Chobby Lai, Country Manager of Renishaw (Taiwan) Inc.

Renishaw opened its first representative office in Taiwan in 2000 and established a subsidiary in 2008, although the company’s precision measurement technology was introduced to the market by its long-term Taiwanese distributors, MTC and Usync, more than 25 years ago.

The company's full range of industrial metrology products, including probe sensors for CMMs and CNC machine tools, calibration systems, position encoders, flexible gauging systems, and Raman spectroscopy products are on tap in Taiwan.

As well, Renishaw has actively promoted and shared advanced metal additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology in Taiwan.
