Hong Kong Screw & Fastener Council Celebrates

The annual assembly of Hong Kong Screw & Fastener Council (HKSFC) for celebrating the new year of 2015 took place on March 20, 2015 at Metropolitan Yiking Hotel in Dongguang. In the opening speech, Chairman Lin Zhi Ming said this year is the 12^th anniversary of HKSFC and he is very grateful for the support and concern of all people to the Council. In the previous year, the 6^th term of Board of Directors of the Council gave a variety of events including industry tours, 2014 Five Regions Fastener Association Conference, Electroplating Seminars, and Shanwei City Car Driving Tour, in order to facilitate the exchange and unity among industries. By giving more and different meaningful events, the Council anticipates to broaden the horizons of fellow members, strengthen information exchange in the industry, create business opportunities, establish close friendship among members, and reinforce the unity of the Council.

Chairman Lin also mentioned that the Board of Directors of the Council has successfully received over HK$1 million worth of funds appropriated by the Hong Kong government after they submitted the application last year. These funds will be used in the following 2 years, under the guidance of HKPC, to give 6 professional sessions and 1 large international conference (i.e., the Five Regions Fastener Association Conference, which will be given this autumn). Though with limited funds, the Council proves that it has been gradually noticed and supported by the society and the government. On the other hand, as the host of “2015 Five Regions Fastener Association Conference”, the Council hopes for eager attendance of members to win honor for the fastener industry of Hong Kong. Additionally, the Council will give 6 professional sessions, which are open to all members, in order to help them get more info about new technology and intelligence from around the world and generate more cooperation.

Looking into the future, Chairman Lin said that the Council will continue to give various events that can reinforce industry exchange, improve industry level, and unite the industry together and he hopes that every member can continue to join in such events actively and that the government and professionals can continue to support the Council, making a more prosperous development of the fastener industry in Hong Kong and a more powerful society.
