On March 25, 2025, Fastener World and dozens of corporate representatives toured Mercedes-Benz’s plant in Sindelfingen, Germany. The factory spans over 318,000 square meters and primarily produces high-end models such as the S-Class and E-Class. The representatives watched an introductory video to understand the factory layout, which includes design and R&D area, assembly zone, painting zone, and delivery centers. They also visited the training center, employee cafeteria, and test-driving facilities. A standout feature was the factory's direct rail connection to major European cities, enabling efficient shipment of newly manufactured vehicles across Europe and exports to global markets, showcasing an advanced logistics system.

On March 26, 2025, the representatives visited Porsche’s plant to witness its cutting-edge production processes and exceptional capabilities. Porsche has invested heavily in enhancing production efficiency by introducing automated guided vehicle technology and building a high-bay warehouse with a storage capacity of 35,000 cubic meters. This reduces truck transportation needs and improves logistics efficiency, highlighting Porsche's leadership in automotive manufacturing.

This trip inspired innovation among participants, providing valuable insights for the Taiwanese representatives to enhance competitiveness and explore international collaboration opportunities.
