The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced that the border restrictions will be loosened, estimated to start from July. The Taiwan Hand Tool Manufacturers'  Association (THTMA) will introduce the first Taiwan International Tools & Hardware  Expo (TiTE) in October. With a full range of resources gathered from the Bureau of  Foreign Trade, TiTE has provided an integrated service for visiting the exhibition, factory visits and procurement. 

According to Taoyuan International Airport Corp., statistics from this January to April  showed that the passenger traffic grew 26.88% year-on-year to 403,037. The YoY had  gone up for three consecutive months since February 2022. Given that the pandemic  situation becomes more stabilized in Taiwan, the government is taking steps to ease  border controls for business travelers. 

2022 TiTE is the first international expo hosted by THTMA. As Taiwan’s largest  professional expo related to hand tools and hardware in recent years, TiTE will take  place from October 12-14, 2022 at the Taichung International Exhibition Center. It was  advised by the Bureau of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Economic Affairs and co-organized  by the Strengthening Investment Services Project Office, the Taiwan Industrial  Fasteners Institute, the Taiwan Machine Tool & Accessory Builders' Association and  the Taiwan Plastics Industry Association.

TiTE also works together with over 20 significant industrial associations to show the  robust supply chain strength of Taiwan's hand tool industry. Exhibition partners  include the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research, the National Association of Small  and Medium Enterprises R.O.C., the Importers and Exporters Association of Taipei, the  Taiwan Aerospace Industry Association, the Taiwan Transportation Vehicle  Manufacturers Association, the Changhua County industrial Association, the Taipei  Hardware Dealers Association, etc.  

TiTE will take place this October. David Huang, Chairman of Taiwan Hand Tool  Manufacturers' Association, invited the international buyers to the event. 

“Taiwan is the third largest exporter of hand tools in the world. The competitive  bargaining power of suppliers in Taiwan fuels us today. We will work diligently to  present a productive platform for all and make Taiwan’s hand tool industry shine on  the global stage,” said David Huang, Chairman of Taiwan Hand Tool Manufacturers'  Association. 

He also thinks that Taiwan's hand tool industry has built up an enviable reputation as a reliable partner around the world in the time of COVID-19. The iconic suppliers  throughout the tools and hardware industry are well poised to make their moves and  reap new business opportunities in the post-pandemic period. 

What’s more, the arrival of international buyers is a major highlight. TiTE reinforced  its network of international and domestic media partners for visitor promotion, such  as working with KINSAN FASTENR NEWS(Japan) and IndustryStock (Germany), 

Hardware Retailing (the US & Canada), REVISTA DO PARAFUSO (Brazil), Torque (the  UK) and Fastener Eurasia (Turkey). Dentsu, providing integrated marketing solutions  and agency services, has held the largest market share and influence in Taiwan. Its  brand, Merkle, with the data-driven business consulting services has also partnered  with TiTE. Hundreds of international buyers have already registered to keep up-to date with the latest exhibition information.

2022 TiTE serves as the best business matchmaking platform for all participants.  THTMA will launch an innovative virtual exhibition hall combined with a conference  system access to international and domestic buyers ahead of the show. During the  expo, the one-to-one online international procurement matchmaking will create an  exhibition with “business opportunities without borders, zero time difference in  receiving orders”. There will also be TiTE Conf (Taiwan International Hardware  Industry Summit Forum) for participants to keep up-to-date with market trends. 

Exhibiting brands will encompass six categories: (1) Tools & Related Accessories (2)  Auto Repair Supplies & Car Accessories (3) Fasteners & Fixings (4) Gardening, Outdoor,  Agriculture & Home Maintenance (5) Metal Processing Equipment, Testing Equipment  & Industrial Safety (6) Construction Hardware, Locks.
