TFTA Appeals to the Government for Setting up a Special Plating Area to Revitalize the Fastener Industry

Many fastener plating factories in Taiwan were clamped down and asked to temporarily closed by the government due to illegal discharge of waste water into the river, which then increased the production cost of fasteners by two times. As a result, the insufficient capacity for plating has made many fastener factories unable to deliver products to customers on time, greatly influencing the competitiveness of Taiwanese export.

 

Taiwan Fastener Trading Association appealed to the government for figuring out solutions (e.g. setting up a legal plating area) to help the industry get over the crisis.

 

The current shutdown of plating factories has made the expense for waste acid water treatment in the fastener industry jump from NTD2,000/ton to over NTD4,000/ton and the cost for plating has increased from 5% of the total cost to 12.5% of the total cost, increasing the production cost of fasteners. TFTA Chairman Bill Chen said that Taiwan CSC, Jinn Her, and TIFI have preliminarily formulated the solutions for setting up waste water treatment facilities, cross-area handling, and the addition of legal production lines. However, the legal plating factories have been very busy in handling all the plating orders, so these solutions cannot be instantly realized to solve the problem. He hopes that the government can offer plenty of time to companies for improvements and can set up a legal area in southern Taiwan to reduce the impact on the fastener industry.

 

President of TFTA Central Chapter Mr. Johnson Chang said that although the special areas for hardware acid wash and electroplating have been set up in Central Taiwan, the waste water treatment facilities in the 2nd phase have not yet been built, which means fastener factories still have to worry about the problem of acid wash and will greatly influence the production value.

 

TFTA consultant and Fascon President Steven Fang thinks that a crisis may be a turning point. As a result, he suggests that the government should carefully formulate related regulations this time and that will be good to the environmental protection of Taiwan.
