Michael Chang served as the second terns chairman of the Taiwan Woodworking Machinery Industry Association TWMA. At the end of his term, in addition to expressing his support and trust for the advanced members and supervisors, he also hopes to continue to promote the reform of the association under the leadership of the new chairman in the future. and enhance the well-being of members. Looking back on the past six years, Michael Chang has handed over beautiful transcripts: including
Through the exhibition and delegation visits, we expanded the interaction and communications with international associations and organizations, such as VDMA (Germany), ACIMALL (Italy), JWMA(Japan), LJWMCC(China), QDWMA(China), Nankang Furniture Association(China), HAWA (Vietnam), BIFA (Vietnam), and the TFMAVN (Vietnam). We also established the "Taiwan Woodworking Machinery Technology Center" at the HCMUTE (Vietnam) to enhance the visibility of Taiwan woodworking machinery in the international arena.
We participate in the program with Ministry of Economic Affairs, TAITRA, Taichung City Government, and PMC so that the members can share government resources. We become a member of the Smart Machinery (Smart Manufacturing) promotion Associations and speak for the industry through relevant channels. We establish a virtual exhibition hall for woodworking machinery and lead Taiwan's woodworking machinery towards digitalization of marketing. We have also established links with the University of Technology and the Industrial Senior High School to nurture local young students to continue the development of woodworking machinery.
With the approval of the general meeting, the office will be relocated to Taichung City Center, near the Taichung City Government, which creates good opportunities for interaction with the industry, government, and academia, to enhance the Association's external image.
In terms of the overall global woodworking machinery industry, China's export ranking jumped to the world's first, followed by Germany, Italy, and Taiwan. There is still a lot of room for growth in Taiwan's woodworking machinery exports. European manufacturers are still in a leading position in the market due to the uniqueness and high quality of their products, but if Taiwan manufacturers want to improve their overall competitiveness, they should focus on the overall technological improvement and reduce the technological gap as the main goal. We will continue to expand the use of digital marketing strategies through online exhibitions and online seminars, and provide remote services through Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).
Michael hope that Taiwan woodworking machinery will move toward intelligent machinery and digital transformation to produce more environmentally friendly and energy-saving machinery and create prosperity.
