Hisener— Chinese Benchmark Fastener Enterprise Pioneers Green Manufacturing!
In as short as 20 years since 2004, Hisener has quickly evolved into a Chinese benchmark enterprise integrating manufacture and trade. It is also one of the largest fastener suppliers in the world. It has achieved a number of milestones year after year, including the following 6 major achievements:
- Intelligent and digitalized manufacturing
(connecting ERP and WMS)
-Optimized production lines and warehousing
technology
-300% increase in production capacity
-Expanded laboratory scale
-New product launch: bi-metal screws
-Certified to ETA
Year of the Dragon 2024 heralds the rising dragon. Hisener proclaims a high ambition to achieve “green manufacturing”, through which it will make a presence and shine like a soaring dragon in the global market keen to carbon reduction.
Hisener Green Manufacturing Kicks off in 2024
The June 2023 edition of China Fastener World Magazine has already revealed the sign of that ambition. General Manager Simon Liang chose a “polar bear with its arms around an ESG-compliant fastener” for the cover as Hisener’s promotional image and brand-new corporate guideline. “Green and smart manufacturing as well as corporate sustainability stand as an important issue that attracts the world’s attention. The intention is to protect the environment while achieving corporate growth. Global warning endangers the survival of polar bears. Hisener is striving to use its own power to build ESG-compliant fasteners, so that even small screws can play a key role in rescuing polar bears. I chose this image to proclaim our determination to green and smart manufacturing! This year, we are officially putting green manufacturing into practice,” said Simon in a Fastener World interview.
Three ESG Guidelines of Hisener
Simon announced three ESG Guidelines of Hisener in this cover story.
On environment(E), the company’s impact mainly derives from energy consumption, waste emissions and resource utilization. To reduce negative impact on the environment, measures are taken to improve the efficiency of energy use, reduce waste emissions, and promote the use of renewable energy.
On the social(S) front, employees are provided with a safe and healthy work environment to secure their rights and benefits, fostering diversity and inclusiveness. Meanwhile, Hisener puts a focus on social responsibility for the supply chain to ensure suppliers’ compliance to securing labor rights and human rights.
On governance(G), a transparent and regulated corporate governing structure is gradually being established through continuous improvement. Hisener strengthens internal governance and risk management and complies with the law to ensure that corporate ethics and ethical codes of conduct are formulated and enforced.
Four Carbon Reducing Measures
The EU will set out to impose carbon border tax in 2026. Hisener has drawn up the following tangible measures in response to future carbon reduction requirements:
(1) Increasing the use of clean energy. At present, solar power can already meet 30% of Hisener’s electricity consumption, and more renewable energy will be purchased in the future.
(2) Investing more in optimizing product design and craftsmanship to increase energy efficiency.
(3) Reducing energy and material consumption by implementing recycling production methods. Recovering energy from waste, such as filtering waste water and oil and reusing it.
(4) Focusing on green procurement to build a green supply chain. Encouraging suppliers to optimize logistics, reduce packaging and use more environmentally friendly packaging materials.
Hisener’s Vision for Carbon Reduction
Simon thinks that reducing carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality is a must for every enterprise. The imposition of carbon tax will accelerate the pace of carbon reduction. “For Hisener, we will establish our own carbon emission verification system as soon as possible, use digital means to complete sustainable carbon verification, and establish a whole process to monitor raw materials and all the way to products through carbon footprints. Meanwhile, we will continue to identify and develop suitable emission reduction technologies to reduce emissions and achieve carbon neutrality,” said Simon.
Provide EU Clients with Carbon Emission Data
Simon added that Hisener has followed CBAM requirements to carry out carbon emission calculation for 2023. The data has been provided to EU clients. The company will calculate quarterly emission according to the requirements and report them in time. EU importers and clients can have peace of mind purchasing products from Hisener.
Hisener is Up for Harvesting Global “Green” Opportunities
Many global major economic indicators suggest that technology and low carbon will be the twin driving forces behind corporate profits and industry growth this year. In recent years, Simon has travelled around the world to promote his new smart factory which launched production more than a year ago. The upgrade to green manufacturing will bolster the new factory to achieve good results in the green manufacturing market.

Born for Low Carbon Emission,
KING YUAN DAR Multifunctional Sintering Furnace Accelerates Customers' Industrial Upgrade
King Yuan Dar Metal Enterprise Co., Ltd. ("KYD") with adequate heat treatment R&D technology and equipment manufacturing experience has been serving customers in the global fasteners, parts and powder metallurgy industries with heat treatment needs for nearly 30 years, and has released a number of eye-catching and innovative products responding to actual industrial needs, including the AI Continuous Batch Green Chamber Furnace and Vacuum Continuous Cyclic Energy Saving Spheroidizing Furnace, both of which have been granted international patents, creating a competitive niche in the international market for its customers. In H2 2023, in response to the global trend of energy saving and carbon reduction, KYD further released the new "Cyclic Continuous Vacuum High-Temperature Sintering Furnace", integrating various excellent features that allow users to streamline production and achieve superior product quality.
Eco-friendly AI Intelligent System
The introduction of heat treatment equipment with multiple intelligent functions that meets the concept of green & sustainable development is a main trend of the industrial application, so the new equipment developed by the team of KYD General Manager Chang Lung Tseng has integrated many relevant features in the operating system, including: an intelligent hardware interface allowing on-site personnel to operate it by only setting material feeding values; AI remote image monitoring to alert the operator of temperature abnormalities in a timely manner; voltage stabilization to maintain normal operation; the gas ratio in the machine being properly adjusted to improve the yield of workpieces; heat generated from manufacturing being recycled and reused through conduction/convection/radiation to further reduce power consumption; and hydraulic push-and-feed improving productivity and stabilizing production quality.
It is understood that the core heat treatment technology of KYD's new sintering furnace is highly innovative among similar products in the current market. "Starting from Taiwan and aiming to expand globally, KYD hopes to draw more customers' attention to the advantages that its equipment can bring to their applications,” said General Manager Tseng.
Patents Approved in Many Countries; Comprehensive Heat Treatment Equipment Integration Solutions
The oxidation furnace structures, chamber furnace structures and heat recovery systems KYD developed have been patented in Taiwan, China, Germany and the U.S., and the in-house process management is fully compliant with the ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 requirements. In addition, KYD continues to focus on the R&D of environmentally-friendly AI heat treatment equipment and provides comprehensive solutions that integrate heat treatment processing, gas supply, and equipment manufacturing. KYD maintains long-term cooperation with not only fastener customers, but also many others in the automotive and motorcycle industries, as well as government agencies.
"My long-term goal is to enter the U.S. heat treatment market within two years, and then return to Taiwan from overseas to gain a higher market share for KYD's competitive equipment," said General Manager Tseng.
It is expected that with the complementary integration of the existing plant in Luchu (Kaohsiung) and the Changbin plant and the Thailand plant under construction close to the supply chain of automobile factories, KYD will continue to expand its global market in 2024 and provide more complete one-stop services for heat treatment equipment to customers.
