The Ministry of Economic Affairs' Department of Investment Services announced today that Wei Sheng Steel, established in 1975, has been deeply involved in the steel structure industry for over half a century. Starting from steel material sales, it has gradually integrated steel material supply, steel structure manufacturing and processing, welding, and surface coating services, developing into a one-stop steel structure solution provider with a complete production line. Its product achievements cover factories, power plants, MRT systems, public constructions, and large steel structure buildings.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs explained that Wei Sheng Steel, optimistic about the domestic construction and public engineering market demand, plans to build a smart and one-stop service-capable steel structure manufacturing base at its new plant in Tainan. The Ministry pointed out that this case is one of the representative major investments in the Qigu Industrial Park, demonstrating the company's determination to continue cultivating the Taiwanese market and expanding its industrial layout.
The new Wei Sheng Steel plant will introduce intelligent production equipment and digital management systems to enhance production line efficiency and capacity flexibility, strengthen quality control and process traceability. It also plans to build a solar power generation system to improve green power supply capacity, reduce operational carbon emissions, and enhance the company's competitiveness in the international supply chain.
Regarding high-end materials, the Ministry of Economic Affairs stated that Kuo Ching Chemical has been deeply involved in the synthetic resin field for over 40 years. Its products cover UV curable materials, unsaturated polyester resins, and electronic chemical materials, marketed globally in over 40 countries and regions under its own brand, with exports accounting for 70%.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs noted that following its application for the Taiwan Business Return to Taiwan Investment Program in 2021, Kuo Ching Chemical plans to reinvest approximately NT$1.65 billion to expand production in Kaohsiung's Yong'an Industrial Park, aiming to continue rooting in Taiwan and transforming towards high-value products. The new production line will introduce artificial intelligence and IoT technologies, integrating order management, formula control, automated metering, and smart warehousing systems to improve production and operational efficiency. Simultaneously, it will upgrade chiller performance, install energy-saving lamps, and use environmentally friendly refrigerants to reduce energy consumption.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs statistics show that as of now, the three major investment programs in Taiwan (Taiwanese Businesses Returning to Taiwan, Retaining Enterprises in Taiwan, and Small and Medium Enterprises) have attracted 1,736 companies to invest over NT$2.6533 trillion, creating 164,493 domestic job opportunities.
