New Logistics Center + App +Hakobot

Cutting-edge Hi-tech Sunco Industries!

Japan’s leading fastener trading company, Sunco Industries, continues to demonstrate vitality and innovation on the world stage. Leveraging its original mascot Socket Boy and a newly constructed smart logistics center, it has been established as the most technologically advanced company in the Japanese fastener industry.

Growing Global Recognition—Socket Boy

Sunco began expanding into overseas markets 3 years ago, launching the distinctive mascot Socket Boy. Through global trade shows, magazine exposure, and diverse media—including Morinaga’s Hi-Chew candy, acrylic standees, and plushies—Socket Boy’s global visibility has steadily grown, becoming a beloved symbol familiar in many countries’ fastener industries. The mascot's popularity has even returned to Japan, attracting significant attention at Osaka Expo 2025 and reaching more Japanese supporters. Sunco also featured Socket Boy on the new Japanese TV show "it’s a screw world!" appearing alongside the Sunco president and famous comedians to promote the charm of fasteners. The 6th issue of the official “Socket Boy” magazine—a namesake of the mascot, created exclusively for Sunco and Japan's fastener industry—along with its brand new official website was launched simultaneously on October 10 to further strengthen the global fastener industry network.

New Logistics Center Officially Opens

Since its early adoption of internet technologies, Sunco has remained at the forefront of technological innovation in the Japanese fastener industry. The newly built logistics center integrates proprietary mathematical models to optimize inventory management, shipping deadlines, and demand forecasting, ensuring top-level customer service. The facility houses 12,000 storage locations and is designed with a height exceeding 30 meters to address Japan’s limited land space and high land costs. A unique scheduling system divides nearly a hundred shipping zones by carrier, effectively reducing warehouse section space and maximizing both space utilization and transport efficiency. The center also focuses on enhancing “BARA (bulk goods) service,” enabling rapid delivery even of a single piece of screw, accounting for over 60% of company orders. The company continues to expand its catalog to register up to three million types of materials and has added dedicated rotating racks, embodying a "Just in Time" philosophy to minimize unnecessary inventory and customer pain points in stock management.

Hakobot—Autonomous Delivery Robot

Sunco has achieved a remarkable breakthrough in unmanned logistics. “Hakobot” can carry up to 100 kg of fasteners, moving smoothly on outdoor roads and successfully delivering products to suppliers. Equipped with advanced sensors and AI obstacle avoidance systems, Hakobot reduces accidents and human errors, enhancing delivery safety and efficiency. Higashi Osaka is set to become a special industrial zone and future city, where Hakobot will play a key pioneering role.

3Q-Net Ordering Platform to Become an App!

Demonstrating commitment to customer convenience, the indevelopment 3Q-Net mobile app will incorporate a camera function that allows users to scan product barcodes to check stock, view drawings, and place orders directly—perfectly suited for users frequently on the move. Complementing the PC version, the app ensures customers enjoy a smooth ordering experience wherever they are.

Sunco Philosophy: Warmth of Tech + Humanity

Despite advanced equipment and systems, technology can sometimes feel distant. Sunco has crafted technology that balances technology with humanity, so customers not only benefit from automated smart systems but also feel warm and cared for. From the flexible 3Q-Net ordering system and thoughtful packaging designs to the flexible BARA service, the company continuously innovates with customer’s needs at the core to enhance service experience.

Setting Benchmark for 2026 Japan Fastener Industry

Entering 2026, Sunco will continue to expand its agile strategy of handling small quantities and diverse products and deepen exchanges with global fastener partners. Leveraging the influence of Socket Boy, the company will keep promoting the global recognition of Japan’s fastener industry and Higashi Osaka culture. Sunco’s story is not only a corporate journey but also a model for driving industrial digital transformation and supply chain innovation.

Since early this year, President Trump's tariff measures have dealt a heavy blow to the global economy, throwing global industrial supply chains including the fastener industry into disarray. The repercussions brought by the tariffs continue to reverberate among the industry. How do you assess the actual impact of the U.S. uncertain tariff policies on EU fastener manufacturers selling products to the U.S.?

01 02 PAOLO POZZI Interview with EIFI President

The recent U.S. tariff measures (25% and now 50%) have certainly introduced a high level of uncertainty into the global trade environment, affecting industrial supply chains across many sectors, including fasteners. For European manufacturers exporting to the United States, these measures have created some challenges, particularly in terms of cost competitiveness and long-term business planning. Nevertheless, European manufacturers are renowned worldwide for their commitment to innovation, and reliability — values that continue to be appreciated by customers in the United States and across the globe. That said, the U.S. is not among the main export markets for EU fastener manufacturers. In the first eight months of 2025 (Source Eurostat), we observed a 2% decrease of EU27 exports of Fasteners (CN 7318) to USA vs the same period in 2024 (49.4 KTons to 48.3 KTons) showing the first signs of the impact of the U.S. tariffs in force. EU27 imports of fasteners from the United States also declined by 9% (from 8.2 K tons in January–August 2024 to 7.4 K tons in the same period of 2025).

We believe that open and fair trade remains the best foundation for sustainable industrial growth, and we hope that dialogue and mutual understanding will guide future policy decisions on both sides of the Atlantic

Amid the disruption caused by steel and aluminum tariffs, many manufacturers who previously focused their exports on the U.S. have shifted their business to other countries (particularly the EU) to avoid tariff impacts. Has this trend had any impact on the domestic sales market for EU manufacturers?

The redirection of exports toward the European market has created some additional competitive pressure for EU fastener manufacturers. As products originally intended for the U.S. market entered Europe, certain segments experienced higher supply levels and tighter margins.

However, the overall impact for the first eight months in 2025 on domestic sales has remained limited even if the first three import countries, China, Taiwan and Vietnam, increased relatively of 25,5%, 18,5%, 49% vs 2024. The European fastener market is serving industries such as automotive, construction, and machinery that rely on certified, high-performance products. This strong focus on compliance continues to protect European manufacturers from purely price-based competition. Moreover, many companies have successfully adapted by diversifying their export destinations and reinforcing their presence in the European market through innovation and service excellence. In this context, EIFI continues to work closely with European institutions to ensure fair competition and maintain a balanced market environment for all EU producers.

03

(Following Q2) Are local EU manufacturers taking any countermeasures or implementing strategies in response to increased market expansion efforts by overseas competitors in Europe?

European fastener manufacturers have reacted to the growing presence of overseas competitors by strengthening their strategic focus and enhancing their distinctive advantages. Rather than competing on price, many companies are investing in innovation, automation, and digitalization to improve efficiency and flexibility across their operations. At the same time, there is a clear shift toward specialization — developing advanced, high-performance, and customized fasteners that meet the strict technical and regulatory requirements of European industries. Sustainability has also become a defining priority, with manufacturers increasingly adopting low-carbon materials and circular production models to align with the EU’s Green Deal objectives.

Which industrial sectors currently represent the largest fastener demand market share and are of the greatest concern to EU manufacturers?

04 05

Within the European market, the largest share of fastener demand continues to come from the automotive, construction, and industrial machinery sectors, which together represent a substantial portion of total consumption. These industries are currently undergoing major transformations — from the electrification of vehicles and new mobility concepts to the push for energy-efficient buildings and advanced manufacturing technologies — all of which have a direct impact on fastener requirements. The energy transition is also creating new opportunities and challenges, particularly in renewable energy projects such as wind, solar, and hydrogen infrastructure, where fasteners must meet extremely demanding technical and safety standards. Additionally, aerospace and rail remain strategically important markets, requiring high-precision and certified components.

06

Beyond tariffs and CBAM, what other market factors do you believe are challenging the supply and demand of fasteners in the EU?

Beyond tariffs and the CBAM mechanism, several structural factors are currently influencing the balance of supply and demand in the European fastener market.

First, volatility in raw material and energy costs continues to affect production planning and pricing stability. Although conditions have improved compared to the peak of the energy crisis, uncertainty remains a concern for many manufacturers. Second, logistics and supply chain disruptions, partly linked to geopolitical tensions and transportation bottlenecks, have highlighted the importance of local sourcing, inventory flexibility, and stronger supplier networks within Europe. Third, the shortage of skilled labor and the need for continuous investment in digitalization and automation are shaping the competitiveness of the sector. Companies must balance efficiency gains with the ongoing need to train and retain qualified personnel.

Finally, sustainability and regulatory compliance are becoming central to every aspect of industrial operations. Meeting environmental targets while maintaining cost efficiency and global competitiveness is one of the defining challenges for the years ahead.

Earlier reports indicated that the EU

may consider adjusting the scope of entities required to report carbon emissions under the CBAM to target “only upstream major emitters (e.g., raw material suppliers)”, exempting downstream fastener processing plants with negligible carbon emissions from reporting obligations. Such an adjustment (if proved to be true) is expected to significantly reduce the burden of collecting carbon emission data for downstream processing facilities. Regarding this matter, do you have any recent official updates from the EU? What is EIFI's perspective and stance on this matter?

The latest revision of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), aimed primarily at simplifying reporting and compliance obligations - particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises - is generally a positive step. However, it also risks creating a double standard within the European Union. While the European fastener industry continues to invest heavily in meeting the sustainability objectives set by legislators, the revised framework may allow the importation of products that do not adhere to equivalent environmental standards. Although the new regulation classifies the carbon footprint of fastener manufacturing as “negligible,” CO 2 emissions from fasteners produced using electric arc furnace steel can account for 30-40% of total emissions when considering the full production process - from annealing and cold forging to quenching, tempering, and coating. As one of the first downstream products integrated into CBAM, fasteners - comprising up to 99% steel - were rightly included in the mechanism given their essential role across numerous strategic sectors, including construction, automotive, mechanical engineering, energy, and defense. Maintaining CBAM coverage for downstream products in general, and for CN code 7318 (fasteners) in particular, would incentivize European manufacturers to further enhance the sustainability of their production processes and reduce emissions throughout the value chain. The European Industrial Fasteners Institute (EIFI) maintains that retaining the original inclusion of downstream products, as initially decided by the European Commission, is crucial to achieving EU climate objectives. Only through comprehensive and consistent regulation can the Commission ensure fair competition, strengthen European industrial production, and effectively advance the Union’s climate goals.

The “Fastener Poland” this year has just concluded, with many international exhibitors expressing optimism about the outlook for the European fastener demand market (particularly in Central and Eastern Europe). Do EU manufacturers or EIFI share the same view? Why?

Optimism surrounding the European fastener demand market in Central and Eastern Europe is driven by several key factors. These include significant government and EU investments in infrastructure projects (such as express roads, motorways, and strategic air bases), as well as a construction sector rebound supported by both national and EU-level programs like the NRRP and REPowerEU grants. Additionally, the expansion of major industries such as automotive and renewable energy continues to stimulate demand.

The region also benefits from its strategic geopolitical position and the EU’s focus on “strategic autonomy” and supply chain resilience, which have led to increased investments in domestic production capacity, local sourcing, and processing. These developments strengthen regional supply chains and bolster local manufacturing. Moreover, the ongoing adoption of advanced technologies - including IOT solutions and artificial intelligence - further enhances industrial efficiency and underpins the sustained growth in fastener demand across the region. At the most recent EIFI meeting in September, member confidence rose from 4.84 in September 2024 to 5.52 in the same month of 2025.

In what areas do you anticipate EIFI will engage in closer exchanges and cooperation with Taiwanese fastener industry in the future?

Both Europe and Taiwan are recognized for their innovation-driven fastener industries and their commitment to maintaining a reliable and transparent supply chain. The two regions have long fostered a fair and balanced partnership within the fastener sector and remain dedicated to upholding these principles in the future. In addition to its strong relations with Taiwanese fastener associations, the European Industrial Fasteners Institute (EIFI) has actively collaborated with the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research (TIER) to enhance mutual understanding of the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). This cooperation aims to support companies in both regions in effectively addressing the regulatory and operational implications of the CBAM framework.

EIFI just held its membership conference in Spain this past May. What other significant membership or international exchange events are scheduled next?

EIFI is preparing for its 2026 General Assembly, to be held in London, UK, from 21 to 23 May. This flagship in-person event represents the most significant gathering of the year. As in all previous editions, invitations will be extended to Fastener Associations worldwide. Over the past two years, the format of the open session of the Assembly has been structured to include a brief insight or update from each participating Organization, followed by a keynote focusing on a current and highly relevant topic for the fastener industry. Distinguished experts in fields such as geopolitics, automotive, construction, and economics will be invited to share their perspectives, providing valuable guidance to industry leaders and entrepreneurs in shaping their future strategic business decisions.

During 2026, EIFI will be hosting exclusive Members-only meetings for the Automotive and General Industry & Distribution Market Groups , along with dedicated events addressing key topics such as US tariffs, TDI, CBAM, and PFAS.

What is your outlook for the EU fastener market in 2026?

Looking ahead to 2026, we expect the European fastener market to demonstrate moderate but steady growth, driven by ongoing industrial modernization and the transition toward sustainable technologies. Sectors such as construction, renewable energy, and aerospace are likely to continue generating strong demand for fasteners that meet evolving technical and environmental standards. We anticipate that innovation, digitalization, and sustainability will remain key drivers of competitiveness. Companies that can combine efficiency with advanced engineering, environmental responsibility, and supply chain resilience are best positioned to succeed. While challenges such as material price volatility, regulatory pressures, and global competition will persist, the European fastener industry has repeatedly proven its adaptability and long-term resilience. Through collaborative initiatives, investment in new technologies, and a continued focus on quality and service, we are confident that the EU fastener sector will maintain its global leadership.

Since early this year, President Trump's tariff measures have dealt a heavy blow to the global economy, throwing global industrial supply chains including the fastener industry into disarray. The repercussions brought by the tariffs continue to reverberate among the industry. How do you assess the actual impact of the U.S. uncertain tariff policies on EU fastener distributors?

According to my calculations, the US imported around 13% of its total imports from the EU. I assume that the bigger portion comes from EU fastener manufacturers and a smaller portion of EU distributors. From this perspective, there is an impact on direct exports especially for the manufacturer. On the other hand the alternative for US importers to buy domestically are also somehow small. However, from an indirect perspective, where EU distributors sell to local OEM producers, the impact of tariffs is significant because those OEM producers may have a larger share of their turnover in US exports. Therefore, it will affect EU distributors as well in demand and price pressure as well.

Interview with EFDA President 01 02 ANDREAS BERTAGGIA

Amid the disruption caused by steel and aluminum tariffs, many manufacturers who previously focused their exports on the U.S. have shifted their business to other countries (particularly the EU) to avoid tariff impacts. Based on your observations and available data, have there been any significant changes in the EU's fastener imports and exports since the implementation of these tariffs?

Currently, demand in the EU market is stable for the time being. The main sources are established, and prices generally remain at lower levels. If the economic outlook strengthens and demand rises, this may lead to increased sourcing opportunities, capacities, and competition. Ongoing changes in the supply market may influence future developments.

“Construction” and “automotive” have always been the major applications for fasteners globally. Could you briefly share the current demand status in the EU market for these two industry sectors?

The construction and automotive segments account for 40% of the EU fastener market in 2024. The construction sector appears to be stable, whereas the automotive sector is currently experiencing challenges due to various factors.

05

Beyond tariffs and CBAM, what other market factors do you believe are challenging the supply and demand of fasteners in the EU or creating additional business opportunities that everyone should start paying attention to?

Given current uncertainties, adaptability is crucial. With unpredictable geopolitical and economic shifts, regionalising suppliers and adopting multi-sourcing can help minimise supply chain risks. Meanwhile, some market segments continue to drive strong demand for fasteners, making agility, openness, and a positive mindset essential.

04

Earlier reports indicated that the EU may consider adjusting the scope of entities required to report carbon emissions under the CBAM to target “only upstream major emitters (e.g., raw material suppliers)”, exempting downstream fastener processing plants with negligible carbon emissions from reporting obligations. Such an adjustment (if proved to be true) is expected to significantly reduce the burden of collecting carbon emission data for downstream processing facilities. Regarding this matter, do you have any recent official updates or responses from the EU?

EFDA succeeded in persuading EU legislators to reduce the emissions relevant to CBAM to those emissions released during the production of precursors for fasteners. This means that emissions released during the production of the fastener itself will no longer be taken into account. This significantly reduces the administrative burden on fastener manufacturers outside the EU and should make CBAM somewhat easier to apply overall. The EU legislator has already made the fundamental decision in favour of this change. However, an implementing regulation from the European Commission is still required to specify the details.

At the writing of this interview outline, the trade show dedicated to fastener technology, Fastener Poland, was about to commence. Compared to the already mature fastener markets in Western Europe, what are your observations on the future prospects of the fastener markets in Central and Eastern Europe?

You are correct; compared to the mature and saturated market of Western Europe, Eastern Europe still has significant potential for increased fastener demand. Additionally, many factories continue to relocate production from Western to Eastern Europe.

Over the past few years, we have observed several major European fastener distributors enhancing their competitiveness by continuously expanding their market footprint across different sectors. This has been achieved through acquisitions of European peers or establishing operational bases in overseas markets such as Southeast Asia. What are your thoughts on this trend?

I completely agree—expansion is a natural strategy for market participants in any industry. Growth can be achieved through gaining market share, mergers and acquisitions, or both, and some even pursue vertical integration of their supply chain.

Besides the General Assembly that just concluded in Brussels at the end of September, what other significant membership or international exchange events has EFDA scheduled?

Following a highly successful 8th European Fastener Distribution Conference on 25–26 September 2025 in Brussels, attended by 120 guests, the focus will now shift to internal EFDA meetings. These include regular meetings of the EFDA Task Force, which primarily deals with ongoing anti-dumping measures such as the current antidumping investigation of the European Commission regarding imports of screws without head, including threaded rods, originating in the People's Republic of China, and other issues of international trade policy and the regulation of the supply chain. In addition, the EFDA CBAM Working Group meets very regularly to assist European fastener distributors with the implementation of CBAM, e.g. through the EFDA Template for Suppliers. The EFDA Assembly of Delegates is expected to meet in Amsterdam in autumn 2026. The 9th EFDA Conference is scheduled to take place in 2028 as this is a triennial conference. We will announce more details about this event at a later date.

TFTA Chairman

ARTHUR CHIANG :

Only Through Long-Term Industrial Strategies Can The Government Solidify Taiwan's Competitive Edge

Three Key Factors Affecting the Competitiveness of Taiwan's Fastener Industry

High Tariffs///

At the beginning of the year, U.S. tariffs unleashed a heavy blow on the global economy, throwing industries worldwide including the fastener sector into turmoil. The repercussions continue to reverberate to this day. Chairman Chiang believes, “Under Trump's tariffs, although Taiwanese manufacturers haven't raised their quotes, U.S. customers are being forced to increase their selling prices. This may appear to boost manufacturers' profits, but whether consumers will accept the costs being transferred to them remains uncertain. Trump's tariffs were originally intended to encourage manufacturing to return to the U.S., but at this stage, the U.S. lacks sufficient skilled workers to meet the demand. Ultimately, it still needs to rely on foreign supply chains.” In the short term, orders from the U.S. to Taiwan have decreased. However, with the Thanksgiving shopping season arriving in Nov./ Dec. and the outcome of U.S.-China trade negotiations expected to be largely finalized by then, the market is projected to become clearer after January 2026. Furthermore, U.S. clients must maintain sufficient inventory to meet future production demands. Potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve could stimulate consumer spending on automobiles and housing, indirectly boosting demand for fasteners. Taiwanese manufacturers need not be overly pessimistic.” However, Chairman Chiang cautioned that many European and U.S. businesses have recently gone bankrupt due to the ripple effects of tariffs, emphasizing the need for heightened vigilance regarding customer creditworthiness.

In 2025, Taiwan's fastener industry faces significant external challenges including U.S. tariffs, exchange rate fluctuations, rising raw material and energy costs, customer order cancellations, and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Internally, it grapples with a shortage of young workers, who are flocking to high-tech industries while showing little interest in basic precision industries like fasteners. This trend has led to labor shortages and a gap in the succession of skilled technical personnel. Businesses with weaker financial foundations have suffered significant setbacks amid these waves of shocks, and are reportedly resorting to measures like “working 4 days and taking 3 days off” to navigate the current difficulties. This situation has also raised concerns among many fastener manufacturers if Taiwan's fastener industry can weather these challenges and maintain its competitive edge in the future. Accordingly, TFTA Chairman Arthur Chiang shared his observations and insights on the industry's current state. He urged the government and relevant agencies to address the competitive challenges facing Taiwan's fastener industry and formulate more long-term, concrete industrial development policies to serve as the strongest backing for businesses. He noted, “Government officials must shift their mindset, for without fasteners, smartphones cannot be assembled, cars cannot hit the road, planes cannot take flight, skyscrapers cannot rise, and future humanoid robots certainly cannot be built! All these rely on Taiwan's robust technology and talent to develop and realize. We urge the government not to pour all resources into TSMC, for the fastener industry is the very root of sustainable industrial development.”

Sharp Exchange Rate Surge///

Regarding exchange rates, the New Taiwan Dollar (NTD)'s sharp appreciation earlier caused significant hidden losses for fastener manufacturers. Chairman Chiang noted, “Exporters generally quote prices based on contracts, with many orders shipping months later. If the currency appreciates rapidly in a short period, it inevitably inflicts heavy losses on businesses.” Although the exchange rate has stabilized now, the recent surge where the NTD climbed from 31 to 29 against the USD within days has eroded the meager profits many manufacturers had left. Currently, Taiwanese businesses are not only relying on clients reducing orders to minimize foreign exchange losses, but are also actively implementing measures such as rotating shifts, adopting a four-day workweek with three days off, or scaling back production line operations to cut operational costs.” In the long run, Chairman Chiang believes. “As long as manufacturers can mitigate the impact through flexible production line adjustments, development in 2026 will remain promising. Beyond providing financial support to manufacturers, the government must also delve into the root causes of why companies are failing to secure orders and devise truly fundamental solutions.”

Uncompetitive Raw Material Costs

Taiwanese manufacturers have long sought to enhance their competitiveness, yet persistently high raw material costs compared to competitors remain an unresolved challenge. The persistently elevated wire prices from Taiwan CSC consistently place manufacturers at a disadvantage from the outset in terms of production costs. Chairman Chiang stated, “Carbon steel raw materials are estimated to account for 45-50% of manufacturers' production costs, with stainless steel representing an even higher proportion. Currently, wire rod costs in Taiwan are 20-30% higher than in China. Coupled with official subsidies for Chinese steel mills, Taiwanese manufacturers simply cannot compete. We do not wish to see Taiwan CSC sustain long-term losses due to price reductions, however, if Taiwan Power Company can receive government subsidies, why shouldn’t it be possible for Taiwan CSC to receive similar support? The government often encourages businesses to explore new markets, but if manufacturers are significantly disadvantaged in raw material and labor costs, where is their competitive edge? Not to mention that during economic downturns, customers may switch to other suppliers to reduce costs.”

TAIWAN

While

Quality

and

Technology Have been in Place,

the

Talent Must be Brought in as Well

Taiwan's fastener industry has long dominated the global market with its superior quality, outstanding technology, and comprehensive customer service. Many product technologies have undergone decades of refinement and development, achieving significant advancements. In his keynote address at this year's EIFI and EFDA member conferences in Europe, Chairman Chiang specifically highlighted several advantages of sourcing fasteners from Taiwan, including consistently superior product quality that avoids “troublesome” issues, FedEx-like delivery efficiency, and fully accountable customer service. This reflects the mutual trust and collaborative synergy cultivated over many years between Taiwanese suppliers and their global clients. Chairman Chiang also highlighted a looming concern regarding the succession of industrial technology in Taiwan. He noted that “under the government's vigorous promotion of high-tech industries, basic precision industries like fasteners have been neglected. The expertise in these basic precision industries requires long-term cultivation and accumulation. Once the current generation of master craftsmen in their 40s and 50s, who possess mature skills, retire, a talent gap may emerge.” As high-tech professionals constitute only a minority

High raw material costs

among Taiwan's workforce, if the government can guide the majority of non-high-tech workers toward basic precision industries, these sectors will avoid facing a shortage of successors.”

Traders Serve as the Driving Force for Manufacturers to Expand Globally

Manufacturers aiming to expand exports must understand that securing orders is only the beginning. They must also grasp their customers' true needs and priorities- an area where trading companies can provide invaluable support. Chairman Chiang stated, “Beyond possessing extensive knowledge of product technology and industry trends, traders must also have the communication skills and experience to engage with clients effectively. This enables them to help manufacturers uncover new market opportunities. Currently, TFTA is actively engaging with agencies such as the Industrial Development Bureau (IDB). We hope to leverage official resources such as regularly produced market reports to assist businesses in identifying expansion targets and broadening the marketing reach of Taiwanese fasteners beyond traditional markets like Europe and the U.S. to emerging markets.” Chairman Chiang believes that for Taiwan to survive amid fierce competition from numerous rivals, it must take more proactive and forward-looking actions; otherwise, it will merely amount to empty sloganeering.

CBAM to Take Effect in 2027; Businesses with Carbon Reduction Plans Will Gain Competitive Edge

The current issue with CBAM is that no clear information has been released regarding which entity will handle reporting and certification. It remains undecided whether the EU will designate a specific body or authorize other certification bodies. Previously, EFDA proposed to the EU that reporting requirements should be limited to upstream raw material suppliers of major emitters, but this matter also remains unresolved and awaits further announcement from the EU. Chairman Chiang believes, “Although supporting details remain to be announced, carbon reduction is an inevitable path for the industry's future. Manufacturers can pursue various green certifications such as ISO 14000 or 14064 to achieve cost reduction objectives. On the other hand, this also grants them priority when clients select partners, creating a competitive edge for themselves. Additionally, with ample time remaining before the CBAM formally imposes taxes in 2027, businesses can leverage government resources to proactively prepare for automation upgrades and transformation. We also encourage second-generation successors with innovative perspectives to engage in dialogue with government agencies and academic institutions, working together toward shared industrial development goals.”

U.S. Fastener Imports

Data note:

The data for this article is derived from the US Census trade statistics. US Census trade statistics analyze imports and exports across all modes of transportation. That value is calculated in USD by general CIF for imports. Fasteners in this article are defined as any product under HS Code 7318 (screws, bolts, nuts, coach screws, screw hooks, rivets, cotters, cotter pins, washers and similar articles or iron or steel) and all subsequent HS codes including 731815, 731816, 731814, 731829, 731822, etc.

In 2025, the U.S. fastener industry finds itself navigating the continuing impact of steel and aluminum tariffs, a key element of trade policy initially implemented to safeguard domestic metal production. While originally aimed at addressing global overcapacity and national security concerns, the tariffs led to significant shifts in sourcing and pricing strategies throughout the manufacturing sector.

Under the Trump administration, these tariffs have not only remained in place but have been selectively expanded in 2025 to cover a broader array of derivative products, including more components essential to the fastener industry. Unlike the initial rollout of tariffs in 2018 which were met with widespread

pushback and exemption requests, the 2025 adjustments have been more targeted aiming to address persistent trade imbalances and reinforce domestic supply chain resilience in response to ongoing geopolitical and economic pressures.

Utilizing comprehensive U.S. Census data, this article examines the import dynamics of fastener classified under the Harmonized System (HS) code 7318 which encompasses screws, bolts, nuts, rivets, washers, and related items. Import trends from the first seven months of 2025 reveal how ongoing tariff enforcement is shaping trade flows and influencing procurement decisions in the U.S. fastener market.

Tariff Impact by Major Source Countries

Taiwan has consistently held its position as the top fastener trading partner of the United States throughout 2025 (Fig. 1), supplying over 30% of the total fastener import value in U.S. dollars (USD) each month. This sustained dominance underscores Taiwan’s integral role in the U.S. fastener supply chain, particularly in the face of shifting global trade dynamics and tariff adjustments.

Trailing Taiwan is China, which has experienced a notable decline in its share of U.S. fastener import value. In January 2025, China accounted for approximately 22% of total fastener imports by value (USD). However, this dropped to 19% in February and further to 16% in March. While Chinese export values leveled off in subsequent months, modest rebounds were observed in May and July. Despite these upticks, the overall trend from January to July reflects a nearly 23% decrease in the value of fasteners exported from China to the U.S., suggesting an ongoing strategy of the U.S. to shift away from Chinese suppliers.

Mexico has followed a similar trajectory. By July 2025, the value of fastener exports from Mexico to the U.S. had decreased by almost 29% compared to January levels. These contractions in total import value from China and Mexico signal a broader trend: U.S. companies are diversifying their supplier base at an accelerated pace, seeking sources in countries with lower tariff burdens and more competitive pricing.

Among the beneficiaries of this diversification are South Korea and Germany. South Korea increased its fastener export value to the U.S. by 12% in July compared to January 2025, showing a steady rise in market share. Likewise, Germany recorded a similar 12% growth over the same period, reflecting growing interest in European sources with stable trade conditions and high-quality production standards. These shifts indicate that the U.S. fastener industry is actively recalibrating its import strategy in response to evolving trade policy and economic pressures.

The ongoing evolution of U.S. tariff policy in 2025 appears to be a driving force behind these trade shifts. The expanded enforcement of Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum products, along with derivative goods, has likely contributed to reduced import volumes from countries like China and Mexico, where the cost impact of these duties may be more pronounced. These tariffs not only raise the landed cost of fasteners but also incentivize U.S. buyers to explore more favorable sourcing options in tariff-exempt or lower-duty regions. The relative increase in imports from countries such as South Korea and Germany, two countries known for their high-quality manufacturing and favorable trade terms, suggests that tariff policy is actively influencing procurement behavior and accelerating diversification strategies across the U.S. fastener supply chain.

Within the broader 7318 HS category, several key subcategories dominate the U.S. fastener import landscape by value (Table 1). Threaded screws and bolts, classified under 731815, consistently account for the largest share, representing approximately 43% of the total monthly import value in USD throughout 2025. This subcategory has remained the most stable performer month over month, underscoring its foundational role in U.S. manufacturing and construction sectors. Threaded nuts of iron or steel, categorized under 731816, follow with a substantial share ranging between 20% and 22% of the monthly import value. Self-tapping screws (731814) rank closely behind, contributing roughly 18% to monthly totals, making these three subcategories the primary drivers of U.S. fastener imports in terms of value.

“Fastener

Subcategory Analysis and Market Response Taiwan

However, when comparing import values from January to July 2025 across the top 10 subcategories under 7318, all but one showed year-to-date declines. Among the most notable were subcategories 731822 (other washers) and 731823 (rivets), which experienced significant drops of approximately 20% and 21%, respectively. These reductions suggest shifting demand or sourcing disruptions potentially linked to cost increases, tariff exposure, or supply chain realignment.

The only subcategory to record growth during this period was 731812 (other wood screws), which posted a nearly 10% increase in July compared to January. This upward movement may reflect increased demand for corrosion-resistant or specialized fastening solutions in sectors like automotive, infrastructure, or energy, where stainless steel components are critical.

Companies working to diversify their supply chains will likely face a long runway in establishing new and reliable trading partnerships. Transitioning away from long-standing suppliers, particularly those based in countries like China and Mexico, requires significant time for vetting, logistics coordination, quality assurance, and cost analysis. As such, these shifts are not established overnight and are expected to extend well into 2026 and beyond, especially if current tariff structures remain in place. The trends observed during the first seven months of 2025 may therefore represent just the early phase of a broader, long-term realignment in global fastener sourcing.

Money, but ‘Made in China’

Since almost all manufactured goods come from China, Brazilian entrepreneurs could potentially import Chinese capital, paying interest rates as low as 3% per year.

This article aims to highlight the subtle challenges faced by Brazilian industrial production, especially in the context of Brazil's high interest rates. The market we operate in—companies and professionals involved, directly or indirectly, with mechanical fastening systems—projects that 2026 will be quite similar to 2025, with a lukewarm outlook due to persistently high interest rates. Notably, 2026 will be an election year, including the presidential vote. One of the most significant markets demanding fasteners is the automotive sector, covering both two-wheelers and other vehicles. Comparing local production volumes for Q1 through Q3 of 2024 versus 2025, as well as the total figures from the previous year, reveals some insights. The domestic motorcycle industry has no reason to complain. With year-on-year growth, production is projected to exceed last year’s 1.748 million units, reaching 1.8 million motorcycles in 2025. Assuming an average of 6 kg of fasteners per motorcycle, the total apparent fastener consumption should exceed eleven thousand tons annually—similar estimates apply to other vehicle categories in the following paragraph.

In 2024, production of all types of vehicles totaled 2,549,595 units (Table 1). Considering an average of 28 kg of fasteners per car, light passenger and commercial vehicles generated an apparent fastener consumption of around 66,000 tons. Trucks, with an estimated 141,252 units at 180 kg of fasteners each (regardless of body type), accounted for approximately 25,000 tons. Buses, averaging 200 kg per unit, consumed about 5,500 tons across 27,197 units.

Table 1. Brazil’s Production (Unit: Vehicle; All Vehicle Types)

billion by the year-end.

Table 2. Top 10 Global Economies in 2024

The freight vehicle sector experienced a 3.9% decline from Q1 to Q3 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Light commercial vehicles declined by 5.2%, while heavy trucks faced a steep 16.7% drop, likely due to sharply rising interest rates of 15% per year. One key point is that domestic fastener production is surviving in a challenging environment, paying significantly more for everything it consumes—including capital. Brazil’s annual bank interest rate is the highest among the world’s top ten countries by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita (Table 2), as noted in a recent article by Ricardo Castelhano, CEO of Jomarca Industrial de Parafusos. Coincidentally, these ten countries are also the largest global automotive production hubs.

Given that Brazil’s interest rates starting at 15% per year make purchasing cars, motorcycles, or even modern machinery for fastener production nearly prohibitive , the economy remains sluggish as a result. Since we import nearly everything from China, why not consider importing money “Made in China”? This may sound absurd, but with Chinese banks charging as low as 3% interest, even after additional fees doubling that amount to 6% per year, such a rate would still be a bargain for both Brazilian and Chinese banks. This would truly be a “Negócio da China” (a popular Brazilian term meaning a great deal).

If this scenario became reality, it would dramatically boost the competitiveness of Brazil’s national industry, surprising many—including China itself.

The Future of CBAM: Global Impact and Evolution

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) represents a transformative moment in the intersection of global trade, climate diplomacy, and carbon pricing. As the world's first large-scale carbon border tax transitions from its reporting phase to full financial implementation in 2026, CBAM is catalyzing unprecedented changes in international commerce and climate governance. Understanding CBAM's trajectory is essential for grasping the future of both climate policy and international trade.

CBAM's Impact on Global Emissions and Trade

Global Responses: A Shifting Landscape

Countries Adopting Similar Mechanisms

The United Kingdom will introduce its own CBAM from 2027, covering the same sectors as the EU's mechanism, while Norway is also preparing similar measures. In the United States, lawmakers have proposed a "Foreign Pollution Fee" based on the carbon intensity of imported goods, while Canada and Australia are in early development stages. This momentum signals that CBAM is not merely an isolated European experiment but the vanguard of a potential global shift in trade policy.

Research confirms that carbon leakage is a real issue, with estimates showing that when one country mitigates 100 tonnes of carbon dioxide, 13% to 25% of this effort is offset by emissions increases elsewhere. This reality has made border carbon adjustments increasingly attractive as a policy tool.

Emerging Economies Respond

Turkey is launching a national ETS pilot in 2025, aligned with EU rules to offset CBAM liabilities, while Indonesia is preparing a national ETS. Brazil passed legislation in May 2025 to establish a regulated carbon market, and Japan is developing its voluntary carbon trading scheme (GXETS). These developments underscore a critical dynamic: rather than passively accepting EU carbon charges, many countries are implementing domestic systems that allow them to retain carbon revenues while satisfying CBAM requirements.

Legal Challenges at the WTO

Russia initiated a formal WTO case against CBAM in May 2025, marking the first major legal challenge to the mechanism. India has warned that CBAM could be a deal-breaker in its ongoing free trade negotiations with the EU, while South Africa is also considering a formal WTO complaint. Russia's claims concern violations of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and excessive administrative burdens on foreign producers.

The EU maintains that CBAM is WTO-compatible, as it is designed to be non-discriminatory and based on domestic carbon pricing. However, the WTO's dysfunctional appellate body means that any resolution could take years and face enforcement challenges.

The introduction of CBAM reverses carbon leakage effects, with approximately 0.15 tonnes of CO2 saved in non-EU countries for every tonne saved within the EU due to the rerouting of imports towards less emissionintensive sources. This increases global emission reductions by 36% compared to a scenario without CBAM —a remarkable achievement for a mechanism covering just 0.31% of global greenhouse gas emissions directly.

Countries with low-emission production and existing carbon pricing, such as Turkey, Chile, Mexico, and Canada, experience modest value-added gains in CBAM sectors. Conversely, countries like India, Tunisia, and South Africa, which rely on high-emitting exports, experience small declines. In 2025, EU customs data show a massive decline in high-emission imports, with exporters investing in cleaner technology—tangible evidence that CBAM is already altering production decisions before financial obligations have fully taken effect.

The Expansion Trajectory

Sectoral and Vertical Growth

The EU is considering horizontal expansion to new sectors such as glass, ceramics, chemicals, and plastics, with a legislative proposal expected in early 2026 and new products phased in from 2027. Essential inputs currently outside CBAM's scope—including scrap, coke, lime, alumina, and ferro-silicon—will likely be added by 2026 to ensure consistent carbon pricing across production stages.

The mechanism is also moving toward downstream products. To prevent circumvention, the EU plans to extend CBAM to simple downstream products primarily made of steel or aluminum. By 2030, CBAM is expected to cover almost all sectors included in the EU ETS, eventually capturing more than 50% of emissions in ETScovered sectors. This aggressive timeline signals the EU's determination to make carbon pricing comprehensive across its economy and trade relationships.

The Global Carbon Pricing Revolution

Carbon pricing now covers around 28% of global emissions, mobilizing over USD100 billion for public budgets in 2024. According to the World Bank, there were 80 carbon pricing instruments in place in 2025. This proliferation is creating a patchwork of systems with varying levels of ambition, coverage, and price signals.

The pattern of multi-regional climate clubs is gradually taking shape. The climate club concept envisions groups of countries implementing compatible carbon pricing systems that recognize each other's mechanisms. The WTO has stated its aim to advance an international carbon pricing system with the IMF, OECD, and UN, allowing for regional differentiation. If 2024 emissions were priced at USD50 per ton of CO2 equivalent, total annual revenue could hit USD2.6 trillion, representing about 2% of global GDP and far exceeding current climate finance flows.

The EU supports Canada's Global Carbon Pricing Challenge, which calls for covering 60% of global emissions by 2030 requiring a doubling of current coverage in just five years, an ambitious but potentially achievable goal given CBAM's catalytic effects.

CBAM and International Climate Policy

The Paris Agreement Tension

CBAM operates within a complex relationship with the Paris Agreement. Some countries criticize CBAM for being too nondiscriminatory, as the Paris Agreement emphasizes 'common, but differentiated responsibilities,' meaning developed countries should assume greater responsibility. Brazil has repeatedly argued that CBAM disregards this principle, shifting costs from developed nations onto developing countries.

These critiques highlight a fundamental tension: CBAM applies uniform carbon pricing requirements regardless of development status. The EU counters that carbon leakage undermines global climate goals and that CBAM creates incentives for all countries to decarbonize.

Diplomatic Challenges and Opportunities

CBAM has prompted policy spillovers by encouraging governments to implement carbon pricing mechanisms, indicating that incentives for industrial decarbonization will strengthen worldwide. However, discontent among developing economies is affecting bilateral and multilateral discussions. China led criticism of carbon border mechanisms at the COP29 climate conference in November 2024.

The question of how CBAM revenues are allocated is crucial. If the EU does not show willingness to use CBAM revenues to support developing trade partners, there will be little enthusiasm in the developing world to embrace its climate ambitions.

Using these funds for clean technology transfer could transform CBAM from a trade tension source into a mechanism for global climate cooperation.

Predictions for Future Developments

Near-Term (2026-2028)

The immediate future will see CBAM moving from transitional reporting to full financial enforcement. Importers will not be required to purchase CBAM certificates until 2027, even though imports will be subject to carbon pricing from 2026. The Commission has proposed simplifications, including a de minimis threshold exemption of 50 tonnes mass, exempting around 90% of importers while keeping 99% of emissions in scope.

A full review of CBAM in 2025 will assess its potential extension to other ETS sectors, downstream goods, and indirect emissions, followed by a legislative proposal in early 2026. This review will be critical in determining CBAM's future trajectory.

Medium to Long-Term (2028-2050)

Within the next few years, carbon pricing could cover as much as 80% of global trade, with CBAM as the catalyst. The phasing out of free allowances under the EU ETS will accelerate, with rates increasing from 2.5% in 2026 to 100% by 2034. This gradual approach ensures domestic industries have time to adjust while maintaining environmental integrity.

By the 2030s, CBAM could be part of a broader architecture of interconnected carbon pricing systems. Research proposes scenarios where climate clubs impose carbon tariffs based on uniform minimum carbon prices. The ultimate question is whether CBAM evolves into a truly multilateral framework or remains primarily a European tool with imitators. The development of mutual recognition agreements for carbon pricing systems will be crucial.

Challenges and Strategic Implications

Measuring embedded emissions across complex global supply chains remains technically challenging. The expansion to more complex products will amplify these challenges, requiring sophisticated accounting methodologies across multiple supplier tiers. Although overall economic exposure to CBAM charges is small in most cases for developing countries, specific impacts can be significant—Ukraine faces potential losses of USD2.7 billion in investment and USD4.7 billion in export losses during 2026-2030.

CBAM is driving significant innovation in clean production technologies, creating clear market incentives for developing low-carbon alternatives. Companies pioneering cleaner production methods gain competitive advantages in the European market. EU importers are demanding transparency and environmental performance data, with companies having low-emission procedures ahead of the curve.

For businesses, the choice between paying carbon costs, investing in cleaner production, or restructuring supply chains will define competitive positioning for years. For policymakers, governments must navigate the complex intersection of trade policy, climate ambition, and diplomatic relations. The most strategic response may be implementing domestic carbon pricing systems, allowing countries to retain revenues domestically while positioning themselves as clean energy transition leaders.

Conclusion

CBAM represents far more than a carbon tariff—it is a fundamental reimagining of how international trade and climate policy intersect. As the mechanism transitions to full implementation in 2026 and expands coverage in subsequent years, its influence on global emissions, trade flows, and diplomatic relationships will intensify.

The future trajectory depends on several critical factors: WTO dispute resolution, the willingness of major economies to adopt similar mechanisms, the EU's approach to supporting developing countries, and the technical feasibility of expanding CBAM to complex products. What is clear is that CBAM has already catalyzed global action on carbon pricing, forcing countries and companies worldwide to confront the carbon intensity of production and trade.

The mechanism's long-term significance will be measured not by revenues generated or trade flows redirected, but by its contribution to global emissions reductions and its role in building a comprehensive international architecture for carbon pricing. If CBAM evolves from a unilateral European measure into a catalyst for multilateral climate cooperation, it could mark a turning point in humanity's response to climate change.

As we look toward 2030 and beyond, CBAM stands as both a promise and a challenge—a demonstration that climate policy and trade policy can no longer be separated, and a test of whether the international community can cooperate to price carbon in ways that are effective, equitable, and enduring.

Key Takeaway: CBAM's long-term significance extends far beyond European borders. As the world's first large-scale carbon border adjustment mechanism, it is reshaping global trade patterns, accelerating carbon pricing adoption worldwide, and testing the limits of unilateral climate action. By 2030, carbon pricing could cover 60% of global emissions, with CBAM serving as the catalyst. The mechanism's success will depend on balancing environmental ambition with diplomatic sensitivity, providing support for developing countries, and evolving toward multilateral cooperation. For businesses and policymakers alike, CBAM represents a fundamental restructuring of how carbon costs are integrated into the global economy—a transformation that will define international trade and climate policy for decades to come.

Editorial: Mitigate Tariff Impacts, Keep Pace with Emerging Industry Trends, and Position for Potential Markets

The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit took place in Gyeongju (South Korea) in late October and early November. Leaders and reps from major global economies gathered to engage in broader discussions and exchange views on various economic issues. Through multilateral dialogue, they aimed to enhance mutual trust and understanding, building a cooperative framework based on mutual benefit and shared prosperity. This atmosphere also reflects the global industry's earnest desire to swiftly return to a cooperative model characterized by fairness, openness, stability, and mutual prosperity- a shared aspiration among global fastener manufacturers over the past few months following the disruption of global supply chains caused by previous tariff issues. Given the current intricacy of political rivalry and conflicting interests between the two major economies (e.g., The U.S. and China), it is unlikely that we will see positive developments such as the removal or reduction of the 50% steel and aluminum tariffs in the near term. Under these circumstances, fastener manufacturers must adopt corresponding countermeasures to mitigate the impact of tariffs. For this issue, our editorial team has specially invited the presidents of EFDA and EIFI, along with TFTA chairman, to share their perspectives on the current industry landscape and market sentiment. We have also invited contracted article contributors to analyze opportunities for Taiwanese fastener companies and explore several promising emerging markets globally. This aims to help manufacturers seeking to expand their market footprints understand potential markets and unlock more business opportunities.

European Fastener Demand Remains Steady; 6 Application Areas Deserve Greater Attention

Based on the perspectives of EIFI, EFDA, and TFTA presidents, there were indeed signs that major fastener suppliers such as China, Taiwan, and Vietnam shifted some product sales to the EU market following the implementation of Trump tariffs in the first half of 2025. The EU's increased imports from China, Taiwan, and Vietnam also indicate its growing demand for sourcing Asian fasteners, particularly in 6 key sectors: construction, automotive, industrial machinery, energy, aerospace, and railway. Demand for fasteners in these sectors remains stable. Competitive pricing is indeed one of the factors EU customers consider when making procurement decisions

though, whether the supplier's products meet quality standards and possess the necessary certifications for specific applications remains crucial foundations for European buyers when determining cooperation. Furthermore, the EU has placed particular emphasis in recent years on product innovation, automation and digitalization of manufacturing processes, high-performance product applications, customized services from suppliers, and low-carbon environmental sustainability.

Manufacturers that actively align with these priorities stand to gain more orders and collaboration opportunities. Despite numerous challenges currently facing the EU automotive industry, the construction and automotive sectors still account for 40% of the EU fastener demand market. Additionally, the Central and Eastern European market represents an emerging region worthy of attention.

Many European manufacturers continue to view the development potential of Central and Eastern Europe favorably, establishing factories and expanding their footprints in the region. Additionally, CBAM will undoubtedly be the key “ticket” for accessing the EU market in the future. To get fully prepared for the implementation of CBAM taxation in 2027, many Taiwanese businesses have already proactively implemented energysaving and carbon-reduction measures.

Manufacturers that seize this competitive edge should be able to achieve stronger performance in expanding their presence within the EU domestic market.

Diversified Market Strategy: Business Opportunities in Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, and Latin America Should Not Be Underestimated

Although the European and U.S. markets will remain the primary markets manufacturers must consolidate in the future, it is impossible to abandon them entirely simply due to tariffs or stricter trade protection measures. However, recent reports by experts and scholars indicate that as many emerging economies, such as China, India, Southeast Asian nations like Vietnam/Indonesia/ Malaysia, Middle Eastern countries like Turkey/UAE, and Latin American nations like Mexico/Brazil/ Paraguay/

Guatemala) are investing in emerging industries like electric vehicles (EV), green energy, and even AI (with China leading in EV and AI), these regions will see accelerated growth in demand for precision fasteners. If businesses can expand their presence in these emerging markets, they can avoid the risks associated with over-reliance on a single market while also tapping into new customer bases distinct from those in Europe and the U.S.

The EU's increased imports from China, Taiwan, and Vietnam also indicate its growing demand for sourcing Asian fasteners, particularly in 6 key sectors: construction, automotive, industrial machinery, energy, aerospace, and railway. Demand for fasteners in these sectors remains stable.

The global fastener supply and demand landscape typically experiences significant V-shaped fluctuations every few years. Between 2023 and 2025, Taiwan's fastener exports contracted due to tariff-related issues. However, according to the analysis by one of our contracted article writers, Dr. Wayne Sung, the current situation may have bottomed out. Rising demand for fasteners has also been observed in Southeast Asian countries and India. Furthermore, customer inventory levels will eventually need replenishment. Perhaps, spurred by the development of emerging industries, a new wave of demand rebound may come soon. Businesses that focus on key areas such as technological innovation, sustainable transformation, and market diversification should be able to benefit from the positive effects of this surge in demand.

Buyers' Guide 2026-

The Industry's Most Comprehensive Supplier Directory

Price, material, patent certification, quality, technology, service, lead time, customization, and innovation are often the key criteria global buyers use to assess supplier suitability. The suppliers featured in the Buyers’ Guide 2026 are not only this year's top selections but also the most efficient way for buyers seeking the best procurement partners to reduce search costs, fulfill needs faster, and stay updated on suppliers' latest developments. For additional procurement needs, you may directly consult our team for further assistance or access the supplier search platform on Fastener World’s official website to obtain more collaboration opportunities.

Conclusions

At this year's IFE in Las Vegas, Melissa Patel, Vice President of U.S. NFDA, mentioned to TIFI Chairman Yung-Yu Tsai that “efficient service and stable supply capabilities are key priorities for U.S. buyers today.” LindFast Group also praised Taiwanese suppliers for their strengths in specialized products and technical quality. These are precisely the core competencies accumulated by Taiwanese fastener industry over decades of development. By effectively leveraging these advantages, significant growth opportunities can be realized. Additionally, we observe Taiwanese manufacturers actively showcasing their service capabilities and innovative vitality at events like Fastener Poland 2025, in anticipation of seizing firstmover advantage amid a conservative and sluggish market—a testament to Taiwanese fastener industry's unwavering resilience in the face of challenges. With the advent of 2026, as long as businesses continue to meet the key priorities valued by their customers, keep pace with emerging industry trends, and never abandon any promising potential markets. They will undoubtedly continue to deliver strong performances in a competitive landscape filled with challengers.

Market Watch: Trump Tariff

2.0

Changing Tariff Policy a Major Hurdle for Rhode Island Fastener Supplier

Founded in 2020 and based in Newport, Rhode Island, Fair Wind Fasteners supplies specialized screws, nuts, and bolts widely used in marine, construction, electrical, and machinery manufacturing industries. Founder Rob Lehmann shared that while the overall economy remains steady, rising costs are squeezing profit margins. The company sources high-quality fasteners globally from the U.S., Taiwan, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, various European countries, and China. Due to frequently changing tariffs, the cost of goods has surged by 30% to 50%, costs partly paid directly by the company and partly absorbed by suppliers before being passed on to customers.

Lehmann highlighted that the unpredictability of tariffs is the biggest challenge. Customers demand firm quotes, but with manufacturing and shipping lead times up to 90 days, prices can fluctuate with tariff changes, making pricing uncertain. This shifting tariff landscape significantly disrupts order management and business planning, posing a major obstacle to his operations. The company is committed to delivering high-quality, corrosion-resistant fasteners to a diverse customer base, from DIY boatbuilders to government and aerospace projects, emphasizing innovation and fast fulfillment.

Rashida Tlaib’s Town Hall Highlights Impact of Tariffs on Michigan Manufacturers

As tariff uncertainties rise, U.S. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib led a town hall featuring leaders from Livonia-based automotive suppliers AlphaUSA and NYX Inc. to discuss tariffs’ effects on manufacturers, consumers, and communities. NYX CFO Dan Laible stressed the importance of fact-based dialogue amid prevalent misinformation.

A Goldman Sachs study showed 14% of tariffs are borne by foreign exporters, 64 % by American companies, and 22 % by consumers, with an expected 67 % ultimately falling on U.S. consumers. AlphaUSA President Chuck Dardas highlighted how tariff increases on steel and components have added USD 250,000 monthly costs, totaling an extra USD3 million annually—threatening the automotive fastener industry’s sustainability. Dardas urged for diplomatic and political resolution before business survival is jeopardized.

Alcoa Says Trump Tariff Added USD115M in Aluminum Costs

Alcoa Corp., the largest U.S. aluminum producer, reported that tariffs on Canadian aluminum imports increased its second-quarter costs by USD115 million, highlighting the impact of President Trump’s trade policies. To mitigate these costs, the company redirected Canadian aluminum sales outside the U.S. With steel and aluminum tariffs raised from 25% in March to 50% in June, metal producers face trade disruptions created by the administration’s efforts to revive domestic production. Alcoa’s tariff costs in Q2 were about 6 times higher than in Q1. Mining giant Rio Tinto Group also revealed that tariffs on its Canada-made aluminum added over USD300 million in costs during the first half of the year.

CEO William Oplinger said Alcoa has engaged extensively with governments, including direct talks with Trump’s team, but warned that U.S. customers ultimately bear the tariff burden. He noted aluminum prices in the U.S. are significantly higher than anywhere else worldwide, increasing costs for customers.

Market Watch: CBAM

EU Adopts CBAM Simplification Regulation

On 17 October 2025, the EU published Regulation (EU) 2025/2083 amending the original CBAM Regulation (EU 2023/956) to simplify and enhance the carbon border adjustment mechanism. The amendment reflects the European Commission’s pledge to reduce administrative burdens on businesses, entering into force on 20 October 2025. CBAM was introduced in 2023 to prevent carbon leakage and will fully apply from January 2026. Following the European Council’s 2024 call for a “simplification revolution,” the European Commission proposed the Omnibus I package to ease existing CBAM rules. The political agreement was reached mid-2025, approved soon after by both Parliament and Council.

Amendments

1. Single Mass-Based De Minimis Threshold

The prior EUR 150 low-value exemption is replaced by a 50-tonne cumulative mass threshold annually, covering iron & steel, aluminum, fertilizers, and cement imports. Imports under this volume are exempt from CBAM obligations, except for electricity and hydrogen sectors.

2. Annual Threshold Review and Adjustment

The Commission will review and adjust the threshold yearly to cover at least 99% of embedded emissions.

3. Monitoring and Penalties

Authorities will monitor importers to prevent artificial import splitting; violations lead to penalties up to five times the standard EUR 100/ton emissions fine.

4. Authorized CBAM Declarants

Importers exceeding the threshold must apply for authorization and may delegate declarations to EUestablished third parties while retaining responsibility.

5. Extended Declaration Deadline and Reduced Purchase Requirement

Annual declarations and certificate surrender deadlines extended to 30 September the following year. Quarterly certificate purchase minimum lowered from 80% to 50%.

6. Embedded Emission Calculations

Emissions determined through default or verified actual values, with defaults based on top 10 highest emitting exporters.

7. Carbon Price Deductions

Allow deductions for carbon prices effectively paid in third countries, with the Commission publishing default thirdcountry carbon prices from 2027.

8. CBAM Certificate Trading

Sales begin 1 February 2027 for 2026 imports, with pricing linked to EU ETS allowances. Excess certificates may be repurchased; unredeemed certificates are cancelled annually.

9. Harmonized Penalties

Penalty regime aligns with EU ETS rules; indirect customs representatives may be liable.

10. Sector and Technical Clarifications

Clarifications include excluding non-calcined kaolinic clays and focusing only on direct emissions for electricity imports. Accredited verifiers must register within two months of accreditation. ★ Read

Vietnam’s Auto Parts Industry Accelerates

As of May 2025, Vietnam boasts 858 enterprises and manufacturing facilities certified to International Automotive Task Force (IATF) standards—a 22fold increase in just 18 months—signaling rapid industry maturation. Vietnamese manufacturers now produce advanced components such as electric motors and electronic modules, moving beyond the so-called "screw curse" of only basic parts.

With a growing domestic auto market, experts urge a strategic push to develop the full supply chain, attracting foreign direct investment and supporting local SMEs. For example, Ho Chi Minh City’s An Thinh Technology shifted from household electrical goods to automotive wiring and jacks in 2019, achieving double-digit sales growth annually. Vnines Innovation in Dong Nai focuses on EV motors and controllers, exporting to North America, Europe, and Asia. Amphenol RF Vietnam, established in 2024, assembles automotive RF connectors.

Vietnam’s auto parts sector is increasingly integrated globally, valued at USD4.5 billion in 2023 and forecasted to exceed USD 13 billion by 2032. Despite challenges in skilled labor and environmental compliance, companies are expanding capacity and diversifying products, driving fast-paced growth.

GM Cuts Back EV Production Amid Slowing Demand and Policy Changes

General Motors (GM) announced it is reducing production of some electric vehicles (EVs) and batteries due to softer-thanexpected demand and recent changes in federal rules and tax incentives. The Chevy Bolt will begin production later this year in Kansas with one shift, with a second shift expected next year. GM’s Spring Hill, Tennessee plant will halt all production in December. The plant, which produces the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq EVs, will reopen next year with one shift until May 2026, then add a second shift. GM states these adjustments align with anticipated slower EV industry growth and customer demand. The company plans to invest nearly USD5 billion over the next 2 years to boost domestic vehicle manufacturing, aiming to assemble over two million vehicles annually in the U.S. This move reflects ongoing industry caution following the end of USD7,500 EV tax credits at the end of September, signed into law under President Trump, who has also sought to repeal EV-specific regulations. Barriers like charging station access, range anxiety, and high vehicle prices remain hurdles to wider EV adoption. Market researcher Sam Abuelsamid predicts other automakers will also slow EV output following the expiration of tax credits but anticipates a rebound in 2026 with more affordable models like Nissan Leaf. "Much could change in the next 15 months," he said.

UK Companies Merge to Become The Rivet Company

Scell-it UK, Kamtech Fasteners, and Arpel, alongside its partner company Rivco, have rebranded as The Rivet Company, to simplify operations and strengthen supply across the UK market. The newly merged business will be the exclusive distributor of the ELEMENT brand in the UK.

Dresselhaus Files for Insolvency

by Fastener + Fixing Magazine www.fastenerandfixing.com

ELEMENT was introduced in Europe over 15 years ago and the brand is recognised worldwide for its quality and reliability. ELEMENT will replace the former Scell-it (UK) Group product branding of ARK and Scell-it. Whilst the packaging has been redesigned with clearer labels, and full traceability, the core product range of rivets, fixings, and setting tools – along with the quality and service behind them – remains unchanged.

Furthermore, The Rivet Company has consolidated more than GB£3.5 million worth of stock across two warehouses into one central system, streamlining its operations and improving delivery times, with a strong focus on next day service.

The ELEMENT brand has also been backed by several European Technical Assessments (ETAs) ensuring quality standards remain consistent while offering better packaging and labelling. “With The Rivet Company and Rivco now working under one brand, the goal is to become the most efficient supplier of rivets, rivet nuts, ETA fixings and associated setting tools in the UK,” comments the company.

In July Joseph Dresselhaus GmbH & Co KG filed for self-administration proceedings with the competent district court in Bielefeld to reorganise itself using the instruments of the Insolvency Code. The court granted the application and confirmed the provisional self-administration, paving the way for a comprehensive restructuring of the Herford-based group of companies.

Verlag INDat GmbH reported that this decision was based on the ongoing economic challenges facing Dresselhaus. As part of the self-administration process, all available restructuring options are now being examined to ensure the long-term survival of the Dresselhaus Group. To address the complexity and legal challenges of the court ordered restructuring process, two experienced restructuring experts have been appointed to the management team – Marc-Philippe Hornung and Dr. Thomas Rieger.

Markus Schörg, managing director at Dresselhaus, who retains the authority to act and make decisions in the process, comments: “In recent months, we have already taken measures to stabilise the company’s economy and restructure its operations. These are already showing initial positive effects. However, we were unable to implement the planned steps fully and at the necessary pace – partly because we lacked the necessary financial resources.” Dr. Thomas Rieger and Marc-Philippe Hornung continue: “Selfadministration provides an effective framework for realigning the Group economically and structurally. We will seek dialogue with all key stakeholders to systematically implement the Dresselhaus realignment on this basis.” Attorney Silvio Höfer is overseeing the course of self-administration as the court appointed provisional administrator, providing constructive support, and safeguarding the interests of creditors.

The business operations of Dresselhaus and its four foreign subsidiaries will continue without restriction as a functional unit within the framework of the restructuring process.

“Customers can therefore continue to count on the renowned quality, punctuality, and reliability, they have come to expect from Dresselhaus,” underlines Markus. Management has comprehensively informed the current 574 employees and the twelve trainees about the current situation and the next steps. Their wages and salaries are secured for three months through insolvency benefits from the Federal Employment Agency.

Aerospace Drives LISI Growth

LISI Group achieved record sales of nearly €980 million in the first half of 2025, with revenue up 8.3%, reflecting strong ramp-up in all segments of the aerospace market. LISI AEROSPACE division revenue amounted to €600.8 million in the first half of 2025, up 19% compared to the same period in fiscal year 2024. The growth of single-aisle aircraft and maintenance activities benefited all product lines. The Fasteners segment grew by 17.7% in Europe, driven by Airbus and the progress of the A350 programme.

In the United States, the Fasteners segment benefited from Boeing’s ramp-up and a catchup effect on sales prices achieved with a time lag compared to Europe. As a result, revenue rose by 25.6% compared to the same period last year.

The Structural Components business posted growth of 15.5% compared with the first half of 2024 and is facing strong demand. The increase in revenue for the LISI AEROSPACE division, adjusted for currency fluctuations and excluding scope effects, was up 19.6% in the first half of 2025. The gradual rampup confirms that demand remains strong over the longterm in civil aerospace across all platforms. All other market segments, including helicopters and military, are also dynamic. In addition, LISI AEROSPACE has announced the renewal of its Fasteners contract with Airbus, which is the division’s largest contract.

Elsewhere, LISI AUTOMOTIVE’s revenue amounted to €292.1 million in the first half of 2025, down 6% compared to the same period in 2024. At constant exchange rates, and restated for the disposal of LISI AUTOMOTIVE NOMEL, the decline was limited to 3.5% in the first half of 2025. New product orders remained at a high-level of 12.3% of revenue for the half year (13.6% in the first half of 2024).

LISI MEDICAL’s revenue amounted to €87.1 million in the first half of 2025, down 1.6% compared to the same period last year. This decline is the result of a temporary adjustment in response to rising demand in Europe and a slowdown in the United States, ahead of an expected recovery in the second half of 2025.

NORMA Reports Stable Q2 2025

NORMA Group achieved a stable level of profitability in the second quarter of 2025, despite a challenging market environment. Following a weak first quarter of 2025, profitability improved significantly in the second quarter and its performance was, overall, in-line with expectations in the first half of 2025.

Group sales in the second quarter of 2025 were down 5.2% over the prior year to €290.4 million (Q2 2024: €306.3 million). The fall in the US dollar exchange rate had a particularly negative impact.

Currency effects led to a 3% dip in sales; in addition, muted demand put pressure on sales. Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (adjusted EBIT) were €23.4 million, a year-on-year decline of 10.4% (Q2 2024: €26.1 million). The adjusted EBIT margin was 8.1% (Q2 2024: 8.5%) and was thus slightly below the prior year figure, but improved significantly compared to the first quarter of 2025 (Q1 2025: 3.6%). Net operating cash flow was €31.6 million (Q2 2024: €43.6 million).

In the EMEA region, the company generated sales of €119.8 million, representing a decline of 2.3% compared to the prior year (Q2 2024: €122.7 million).

Adjusted for currency effects and the reallocation of customers, sales in the second quarter were slightly below the prior year level in all business units. Demand from the European automotive industry for joining technology failed to recover in the second quarter. In the Industry Applications business unit, sales increased significantly in nominal terms due to the allocation of customer business related to technology for construction and agricultural machinery. The Water Management business grew slightly.

NORMA New CEO Appointed

Effective 1st November 2025, Birgit Seeger becomes CEO of NORMA Group. The supervisory board has appointed her as the future chair of the management board. As planned, the current interim CEO Mark Wilhelms continue sto serve until Birgit Seeger takes over, after which he returns to the Supervisory Board.

Bossard Reports Mixed Fortunes Across Regions

Bossard Group has reported the first half of 2025 continued to be characterised by a challenging market environment, with its three market regions showing different developments. In Asia, it benefited from positive demand dynamics; in Europe, successful acquisitions led to satisfactory growth; and in America, a decline in sales was recorded. Group sales increased by 7.6% to CHF 547.9 million in the first half of 2025 (prior year: CHF 509.4 million). In local currency, sales growth was 10.1%, with an organic decline of 1.3%.

The adjusted EBIT, excluding purchase price allocation effects on inventories and intangible assets, amounted to CHF 58.8 million (prior year: CHF 58.1 million). This corresponds to an adjusted EBIT margin of 10.7% (prior year: 11.4%). Including the PPA effects, the EBIT was CHF 55.5 million. Compared to prior year, Group net income declined by 8.8% to CHF 38.7 million (prior year: CHF 42.4 million).

In Europe, Bossard achieved sales growth of 14.8% (in local currency: +16.6%) to CHF 337.4 million (prior year: CHF 293.8 million). Adjusted for acquisitions, there was a decline of 2.9% in local currency, which intensified in the second quarter due to the challenging tariff situation and general economic uncertainties. The aerospace and railway sectors achieved satisfactory growth rates, with Bossard able to further expand its market position in both industries. This was further strengthened with last year’s acquisition of Aero Negoce International SAS.

Bossard recorded a decline in sales in America of 11.4% to CHF 114 million (prior year: CHF 128.6 million) in the first half of 2025. In local currency, sales declined by 8.4%. While there was a positive sales trend in the electronics sector, demand remained weak, especially in the areas of electromobility and agriculture. In addition, the constant changes in tariffs and news led to market uncertainty, which had a negative impact on demand. The appreciation of the Swiss franc had an additional negative impact on results.

In Asia, Bossard achieved sales growth of 10.9% (in local currency: +15%) to CHF 96.5 million (prior year: CHF 87 million).

The positive development in Asia continued in the second quarter, which was reflected in the double-digit growth rate. In India, Bossard was able to benefit from the 'Make in India' initiative and in Malaysia from customer nearshoring trends – especially in the semiconductor and electronics industries. Elsewhere, in China growth was achieved thanks to improved demand in electronics and machinery. Further interesting opportunities were also identified in the region, in the fields of automation and robotics.

IFI Lobbyist: U.S. Tariffs Here to Stay

The Industrial Fastener Institute retained Lauren Baker as a lobbyist in 1996 to handle U.S. Fastener Quality Act amendments. “I don’t see much appetite for free trade,” Baker said of the current U.S. Congress. “ President Trump honestly believes in tariffs. Members of Congress find it “difficult to vocally oppose the president,” Baker finds. Members “won’t say anything publicly. They can’t be out front.”

Baker referred to tariffs as “a tax on U.S. companies,” even though tariffs are officially paid by the importer of record. The tariffs will be dollars coming out of U.S. economy, Baker said. Ultimately, rather than just tariffs, “it’s the market which will determine if we get some re-shoring in the next three to five years,”

Expect energy prices to increase for manufacturers, Baker predicted. With President Trump cutting federal funding “solar and wind projects are stalled,” Baker said, adding nuclear power projects will take a decade to come online. Trump particularly doesn’t like wind power. When Joe Biden was president he subsided solar and wind projects. Baker suggested “let’s use it all” on the variety of energy systems.

Any growth in domestic manufacturing in increase demand for energy and thus costs, he pointed out. “China is on the mind all the time,” Baker said of the Washington DC mood. China and tariffs are a “balancing act right now.” Related issues are intellectual property and software imbedded in products.

“We don’t want to piss them off,” Baker said in reference to China. Will Trump’s tariff war bring back manufacturing? “That’s a very good question,” Baker responded. Baker noted “there are some efforts to reduce the regulatory burden on U.S. manufacturers,” which could help re-shoring.

In 2002 then-president George W. Bush’s steel tariffs on Canada were eventually lifted because the U.S.” didn’t have enough capacity” to replace Canada’s supply, Baker noted. Baker finds members of Congress are seriously divided in 2025. “For most of my career there was willingness by conservatives and liberals to work together in Congress.” He cited President Ronald Reagan and House Speaker Tip O’Neal socializing and working together in the 1980s. Today the political parties working together is “now the exception, not the rule,” Baker lamented.

The original U.S. Fastener Quality Act was passed in 1990 and was “unworkable.” The original target was fraudulent imported fasteners, but the first version of the fastener law “created more problems than it solved,” Baker said. The law “mandated testing and certification using outdated procedures that the Industry had moved beyond.” Implementation was handed to the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards & Technology. “Eight years later, rules were still not written,” Baker said. In those days, the IFI “did not have the ability to engage with policymakers,” but jumped in to find solutions, Baker said. Other industry organizations participated too.

Tariffs are here to stay unless the U.S. economy implodes or “when the pain gets too hard to ignore,” lobbyist Lauren Baker told the Mid-West Fastener Association. “Domestic prices will go up” as a result of tariffs, he added. There is still some question about tariffs on raw material, Baker said.

Congress postponed the FQA twice. The industry coalition worked what in 1999 became PL 106-34. “We drafted what we wanted,” Baker recalled. The fastener industry’s efforts turned the FQA into “a fraud law.” Baker advocated working with Congress and not waiting to respond to legislation. He noted there are an average of 75 new members on Congress after each election. Each House district averages 750,000 people. Baker suggested inviting especially new members for plant tours. It helps avoid members “regulating that which they don’t understand.” It is “hard to demonize someone they know,” Baker said of developing relationships with members of Congress.

In defense of lobbying, Baker noted the frequent quote: “If you aren’t at the table, you are on the menu.” Industries can reject lobbying, “If you are willing to accept whatever decisions get made,” Baker said. “There is still a room where it happens and you still need to be in it.”

In his prior roles as Chief of Staff/VP, Business Intelligence, Korba demonstrated exceptional leadership and operational expertise, and the company looks forward to his continued impact in this expanded role.

The fire started after an explosion at the century-old facility. About 60 workers who were inside the building at the start of the four-alarm blaze escaped safely. A second explosion the next morning in a different section of the facility prompted a shelter-in-place order within a mile radius. Nearly 70 fire companies from the region responded to the fire, which took six days to extinguish. The cause of the fire still remains under investigation.

SPS officials have not said how the construction of a new factory would be funded or when the company aims to complete a new facility, PhillyVoice reports. After the fire, U.S. Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.) said she would seek federal support for the factory to be rebuilt in Abington Township. SPS is owned by Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary Precision Castparts Corp., and has received numerous federal contracts from the U.S. Department of Defense.

MacLean-Fogg Partners to 3D Print Casting Tool Insert

MacLean-Fogg Company (MFC) partnered with Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT (Fraunhofer ILT) to create the largest 3D-printed nearly solid die casting tooling insert in the world, 156 kg (350 lbs), for Toyota Europe’s Yaris hybrid transmission housing.

A conformally cooled insert, allegedly the largest in the world, was produced using Fraunhofer ILT’s gantry-type, multi-laser Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) machine with MacLean-Fogg’s patented L-40 tool steel powder. A hybrid process was utilized to reduce costs. “Gantry printing with L-40 tool steel powder material, a promising avenue towards scalable additive manufacturing, is opening the potential for metal 3D printing to reduce lead times and to realize more responsive manufacturing— in particular while delivering world-class

insert performance, longer maintenance intervals, and cost-effective pricing structure,” said Dr. Magdalena Coventry and Dr. Andrew Willett, Toyota Europe.

MacLean-Fogg’s L-40 powder was specifically designed for the LPBF process to achieve high hardness and toughness, minimizing crack formation and crack propagation even when printing at moderate pre-heat temperatures. Compared to conventional tool steels, L-40 also reduces the need for advanced post-build heat treatments, further decreasing time-to-market. Additional benefits include: Reduced soldering of aluminum to the tooling surface; approximately twice the lifespan of conventional aluminum die-casting inserts; lower overall tooling maintenance requirements; high sustainability, with no cobalt and a minimal amount of nickel.

“Toyota posed a thrilling challenge by requesting to expand the application of L-40 to large-format tooling inserts,” explained Dr. Harald Lemke, MacLeanFogg director of product development. “We had to overcome scale-up challenges such as ensuring consistent gas flow conditions as build sizes grew.” Fraunhofer ILT addressed these requirements with its gantry-type, fivelaser LPBF system, which allows for the processing of parts longer than 50 cm in side length and chamber temperatures of up to 200°C. MacLean-Fogg and Fraunhofer ILT aim to expand the technology into structural die casting, inserts for giga-casting tools, and other large hot- or cold-forming tools where traditional powders have not yet been validated. All these are consistent with broader trends in the automotive industry towards lightweighting, shorter development times, and local supply chain resilience.

Senafor Honors Hassmann on Its 70th Anniversary

The annual Senafor international seminar and meeting traditionally brings together academic experts and industry professionals engaged in research and development related to industrial processes such as cold and hot forging, as well as fastener and auto parts manufacturing.

Brazil’s Fastener Imports in Q1-Q3 2025 Exceed Full-Year 2021

Approaching a new annual record, Brazilian fastener imports reached USD 934.2 million by the end of September (Q1-Q3), surpassing the total value of USD 934.0 million recorded for the entire year of 2021. In terms of volume, imports showed a slight difference: 201.3 thousand tons this year (Q1-Q3) compared to 205.3 thousand tons in all of 2021.

Regarding fastener exports, comparing the same ninemonth period, values increased to USD 127.6 million in 2025, up from USD 107.5 million in the 12 months of 2021. However, volumes revealed an opposite trend, with 20.2 thousand tons exported in Q3 2025 versus 47.1 thousand tons during 12 months of 2021.

The 44th Senafor took place from October 1st to 3rd, 2025, in Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. The opening ceremony included a special tribute to Hassmann S/A, celebrating its 70 years of history. Carlos Hassmann, the company’s president and son of the founders— including Mr. Karl, an Austrian immigrant, as well as Mrs. Elka Hassmann, a Brazilian—delivered the keynote address.

Founded in 1955, Hassmann S/A is now one of Brazil’s leading and most reliable fastener manufacturers, producing 2,800 tons monthly with over 500 direct employees. The company also has a strong presence in the USA through its local distribution center.

The event was chaired by Dr. Lirio Schaeffer and featured a lecture by Mrs. Simone Stülp, Head

Innovation, Science, and Technology of the State Government, who spoke on "Innovation Policies for the

Brazilian Presence Grows at IFE USA, Fastener Companies Exploring New Global Markets

Unlike their strong leadership in agribusiness, Brazilian entrepreneurs have historically been less prominent exporters in industrial sectors such as fasteners—including bolts, screws, nuts— and related tools, machinery, and services in the international fastener market.

It is important to remember that Brazil, the largest country in South America, faced dramatic economic challenges until the introduction of the new economic measures in 1994, ending the hyperinflation crisis that peaked between 1980 and 1994 with an accumulated rate of an astonishing 13,342,346,717,671.70%. Between 2015 and 2024, inflation totaled 69.7%. The Real Plan was a complex but successful set of measures that restructured and stabilized Brazil’s economy. However, it also had downsides.

“The exchange system was used as a tool to control inflation, which resulted in the destruction of the domestic industrial sector,” explained Mr. Delfim Netto (1928–2024), Brazil’s longest-serving economic minister.

Due to strict import controls, Brazil remained relatively closed to global markets for years. Since 1992, the country has gradually opened up, although Brazilian companies have been cautious players in sectors like the fastener industry.

This cautious presence may be changing, especially after participation in key international fastener trade fairs such as Wire Düsseldorf and Fastener Fair Global, both held in Germany—events that previously had very few Brazilian exhibitors—as well as several in Mexico.

In the United States, however, Brazilian participation has been more consistent, notably at the recent International Fastener Expo held in September in Las Vegas, NV. Brazilian exhibitors included Ciser, Fey, GPTECH, Hassmann, Jomarca, Latam Fastener, MaxDel, Metaltork, Sforplast, SouthWind, Walsywa, and Zincagem Martins.

A New Dawn for Taiwan's Fastener Industry?

Taiwan’s fastener industry demonstrated resilience and transformation momentum in 2025. According to export statistics from Taiwan Customs Administration, Ministry of Finance, the total export value from January to August 2025 exceeded NT$90.1 billion (customs import/export data was available only up to August 2025 at the time of writing). The top ten countries importing Taiwanese steel fasteners in the January-August 2025 period were the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, China, Sweden, and Poland. The United States remains Taiwan’s largest export market, accounting for 45% of its total export weight. The European region (including EU member states and the UK) accounted for about 30%. Political, economic, and trade changes in these two regions continue to shape the future of Taiwan’s fastener industry. The total export value and weight for January to August 2025 are summarized in Table 1

The U.S. market’s 45% share surpasses the combined share of the others in the top ten exporting countries, highlighting the U.S. as the primary sales region for Taiwan’s fasteners. However, in June 2025, the U.S. raised steel and aluminum Section 232 tariffs to 50%, and the New Taiwan Dollar appreciated from 32 to 29 NT$ against US dollar from early May 2025 onward. These developments severely hurt Taiwan's fastener export exchange rate gains, narrowing profit margins and pushing manufacturers to bear dual pressures from exchange losses and rising costs. Additionally, price competition from emerging markets such as China, Vietnam, India, and Turkey, along with dumping of cheap Chinese products, brought unprecedented challenges to Taiwan’s fastener exports.

Table 1: Taiwan Steel Fasteners (HS Code 7318) Export Value and Weight Analysis, January–August 2025

To address these challenges, according to Fastener World, the Kaohsiung City Government's Economic Development Bureau partnered with the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) and Taiwan Industrial Fasteners Institute. From September 16 to 17, 2025, they led Taiwanese fastener manufacturers to the largest fastener exhibition in North America, the "International Fastener Expo (IFE) 2025" in Las Vegas, USA. During the expo, Taiwan’s fastener companies expanded their North American market exposure and TIFI signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with one of North America’s largest fastener suppliers, Brighton-Best International (BBI) and strengthened collaboration with NFDA. This agreement further consolidated Taiwan’s position in the U.S. market. Meanwhile, when competing countries all face a 50% tariff, Taiwan’s fastener industry, without any tariff treaty protection, benefits from the fairness of U.S. tariffs.

Next, the European market is Taiwan’s second largest export destination after the U.S. In recent years, the Russia-Ukraine war caused a sharp rise in European energy costs, hampering economic growth. However, with active mediation efforts by U.S. President Trump, there may be an early end to the war. Upon the war’s resolution, Taiwanese fastener manufacturers aim to capture post-war revival opportunities by participating in the "Fastener Poland" show on October 5, 2025, seeking to stabilize existing European channels while exploring new business.

According to Taiwan Customs’ export data, the annual export weights of Taiwan’s HS code 7318 (steel fasteners) from January to August during 2021 to 2025 were 1,069,343 metric tons, 1,122,293 metric tons, 839,079 metric tons, 837,612 metric tons, and 826,965 metric tons, respectively. These data are organized in Table 2 and Figure 1

new opportunities in 2026 has become a focus. This article explores five major aspects and proposes concrete observations and strategic recommendations.

Export Trend Analysis: Peak > Crash >Consolidation

Taiwan’s steel fastener exports reached historic peaks in 2021 and 2022, with annual export values surpassing USD 6 billion, reflecting strong post-pandemic global infrastructure and manufacturing recovery. However, starting in 2023, exports dropped sharply with an initial annual decline of 25.3%. The decrease narrowed to 1.3% and 1.27% in 2024 and 2025 respectively, indicating exports have entered a consolidation phase.

Will this trend form a typical "V-shaped correction," with a sharp fall followed by a swift rebound after a short trough? Past analyses by Fastener World show Taiwan’s export momentum closely relates to exchange rates and major events, especially "black swan" shocks— such as financial crises, pandemics, and the USChina trade war—where the New Taiwan Dollar often appreciates, temporarily eroding export competitiveness.

Fig. 1. Taiwan Steel Fastener Export Weights (January to August, 2021–2025)

Historical data also show export momentum often hits the bottom one year after such events but strongly rebounds the following year. For example, during the 2008 global financial crisis, Taiwan’s steel fastener export weight before the crisis was 1,125,514 metric tons in 2008, plunged to 816,653 metric tons in 2009 (down 27.44%), then rebounded strongly to 1,206,370 metric tons in 2010, recovering to the pre-crisis level. By 2012, exports rose further to 1,278,585 metric tons, 13.6% above the 2008 level. This "crisis => correction => rebound" pattern provides a reference for predicting a potential export recovery in 2026.

The trend in Figure 1 shows that steel fastener exports peaked in 2022 and then declined for three consecutive years. However, the drop has slowed in the past two years, with only slight decreases from 2023 to 2025. This indicates that market demand is no longer shrinking sharply, suggesting the industry may have bottomed out and is gearing up for the next recovery wave.

Taiwan’s fastener industry has been long renowned for high quality, high manufacturing flexibility, and a global footprint, especially in southern Taiwan as a key metal fastener supply base for the world. However, recent challenges such as export decline, international tariffs, carbon emission regulations, and low-price competition have cast uncertainty. Whether the industry can seize

Environment and Market Structure Changes + Intensified US-China Trade War

In 2025, the U.S. government reinstated steel and aluminum tariffs of up to 50% on global fasteners. Taiwan’s main competitors—China, India, and Vietnam—are included in this tariff, creating a fair competition opportunity for Taiwan.

On October 9, 2025, China’s Ministry of Commerce announced export controls on rare earth related technologies and items. On October 10, U.S. President Trump publicly criticized Beijing’s hostile trade actions and announced on his own social account that “a 100% tariff will be imposed on Chinese goods.” If the renewed US-China trade war materializes, Taiwan’s fastener industry may gain orders partially redirected from China.

Meanwhile, in Europe, the upcoming 2026 launch of the CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) will increase demand for suppliers with carbon management capabilities. Since 2023, Taiwanese fastener manufacturers have actively adopted sustainability standards such as ISO 14064 and ISO 50001, and participated in government carbon auditing subsidy and consultancy programs, positioning themselves favorably for the European market.

The fast-growing manufacturing sectors in emerging markets like Southeast Asia and India drive rising demand for high-quality fasteners. Taiwanese fastener businesses should proactively explore emerging markets to diversify risk.

Signs of Bottoming Out and Opportunities for Recovery

Export data from January to August 2025 show that although the total volume is slightly lower than the previous year, the decline has nearly leveled off. The U.S. and European markets remain resilient, with the U.S. accounting for as much as 45% of exports and Europe plus the UK exceeding 30%, totaling more than 70%. This indicates stable market demand and a gradual stabilization of Taiwan’s geopolitical impact.

Furthermore, the New Taiwan Dollar weakened sharply in early 2025, depreciating from 29.16 to 30.68 NTD againest 1 USD. This currency depreciation supports export competitiveness. Historically, when the NT dollar depreciated, exported product prices effectively dropped, boosting order-taking and market expansion—commonly seen during post-crisis recoveries. Taiwan’s fastener exports may have already bottomed out in 2025, with conditions favorable for gradual recovery starting from 2026.

Notably, at the International Fastener Expo (IFE) 2025 held in Las Vegas, Taiwan’s fastener companies formed a "national fastener team," successfully breaking into North American channels and generating orders exceeding USD 7 million. U.S. distributors such as LSG (LindFast Solutions Group) and BBI (Brighton-Best International) acknowledged Taiwan’s fasteners’ advantages in high value-added and customized markets, incorporating them into their stable procurement systems. This laid a solid foundation for export growth in 2026.

Industry Structure and Competitiveness Challenges

Stricter environmental regulations and carbon emission requirements pose risks of losing competitiveness in international procurement if timely transformation is not achieved. Fastener companies can approach carbon reduction from these aspects:

1. Raw materials: Use low-carbon steel or recycled metals to lower raw material carbon footprints.

2. Process optimization: Introduce efficient equipment and energy-saving technologies in forging, heat treatment, and surface treatment to reduce energy consumption.

Fig. 2. Taiwan Steel Fastener Export Weights, 2008–2012

Table 3: Taiwan Steel Fastener Export Weights, January to August, 2008–2012

“

3. Carbon audit systems: Implement ISO 14064-1 organizational carbon audit mechanisms to increase transparency of carbon data and set concrete reduction targets.

4. Supply chain cooperation: Promote green procurement and low-carbon logistics to improve overall environmental performance.

5. Employee education and sustainability commitment: Strengthen corporate sustainability image and enhance international competitiveness.

These measures not only align with global carbon reduction trends but also create transformation opportunities for Taiwan’s fastener industry.

Policy Recommendations and Corporate Strategies

To help Taiwan’s fastener industry seize recovery opportunities, governments and companies should focus on:

1. Promoting technology upgrades and product innovation: Develop high-strength, corrosion-resistant, lightweight fasteners to meet advanced market needs in electric vehicles and green energy equipment. Integrate AI smart manufacturing and automation to boost production efficiency and quality consistency.

2. Strengthening sustainable transition and carbon management: Establish carbon audit systems, respond to CBAM and ESG procurement requirements, promote lowcarbon processes, and manage energy to reduce carbon footprint and operating costs.

3. Expanding emerging markets and application fields: Deepen presence in Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East to diversify export risks. Enter emerging industries such as electric vehicles, wind power, and solar energy to broaden fastener applications.

4. Building export warning and market intelligence mechanisms: Monitor real-time changes in exchange rates, tariffs, and regulations to aid enterprises in adjusting strategies. Establish big data platforms for market trends, competitive analysis, and customer demand forecasting.

Taiwan’s steel fastener exports have experienced peaks, sharp declines, and consolidation over the past five years. Currently, signs of bottoming out are evident, supported by currency depreciation, stable key export markets, potential post-war reconstruction demand, and emerging market demand—all favorable for industry recovery. Taiwan’s fastener companies must embrace technological innovation, sustainable transformation, and market diversification to regain growth momentum in global supply chain restructuring and secure a critical position in the next export cycle.

Looking ahead, 2026 to 2028 will be a crucial period for rebuilding Taiwan’s export momentum in the fastener industry. Seizing this opportunity could not only restore export levels to those of 2022 but also break through previous bottlenecks, moving toward higher value, lower carbon emissions, and greater globalization.

Taiwan’s 2025 Fastener

1.

Introduction

As the global manufacturing landscape for fasteners quietly shifts toward Türkiye, India, and Vietnam, these seemingly insignificant "fasteners" in manufacturing modules are becoming a litmus test of geo-economic trends. Who can transform manufacturing into a strategic advantage? The answer lies in Taiwan's speed of transformation.

After several rounds of tariff battles in the US-China trade war, the relocation of Asian manufacturing bases has evolved from a short-term response to a long-term strategic deployment. Stimulated by both interest rate cuts and efforts to rebuild supply chains, the US and Europe are accelerating local supply chain construction. For example, Türkiye has become a new hub for European fasteners due to its proximity to the EU market and low labor costs; Vietnam has absorbed production capacity relocating from China's coastal areas and become the largest export base in Southeast Asia; India has rapidly increased capacity driven by a large domestic market and policy subsidies.

Therefore, this article first reviews the top 10 global export markets data for the first half of 2025, then examines the export unit prices of Taiwan and potential competitors such as China, Türkiye, and Vietnam, to compare their performance differences. Taiwan's fastener export weight and value have not significantly declined, yet the Taiwanese industry is widely permeated by anxiety about difficulty in securing orders and thinner profits. Taiwanese media has termed this status quo as a "wave of outbound relocation" along with "factory closures."

This discrepancy suggests that the real problem likely does not lie in market demand but in cost structure, exchange rate fluctuations, and implicit changes in business fundamentals. In other words, the industry's challenge is not market disappearance but the rapid iteration of production conditions and business logic. Only by resorting to data and competitive landscapes analysis can we clarify the mystery of Taiwan’s fastener industry appearing stable on the surface yet turbulent underneath.

2. Changes in Global Market Trends

Starting with import-export analysis to assess market strength: Table 1 lists the top 10 countries by fastener export value in the first half of 2025. China ranked first, reaching a three-year high of USD 183.2 billion in the first half of 2025, an 8.2% increase compared to the same period in 2024 and a 3.3% increase compared to the same period in 2023. Other countries in the top ten list maintaining three years of positive growth include Japan, France, and the UK. Japan ranked 6th globally with USD 35 billion in exports but had only slight growth compared to the previous two years. France ranked 7th, also marking a three-year high with USD 35 billion, showing 9.8% growth compared to the first half of 2024 and 17.7% compared to the first half of 2023. The UK was 9th with USD 21.2 billion, growing 7.3% compared to the first half of 2024 and 19.4% compared to the first half of 2023.

Since Trump announced on June 3, 2025, that tariffs on imports of steel, aluminum, and related products under Section 232 would be adjusted to 50%, the UK has performed strongly in the fastener industry due to its Economic Prosperity Deal with the U.S., which caps the tariff on UK fasteners at just 25%. However, most countries are subject to the U.S. 232 tariffs at rates above 50% (Note: the fastener industry is not subject to reciprocal tariffs but to Section 232 tariffs, and existing base tariffs or specific anti-dumping duties are cumulative rather than included in the 50% figure). Observing Table 1, the high U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum products appear to have no effect on the fastener industries in China, Japan, and France. According to industry insiders, during Fastener Fair Global held in Stuttgart (Germany) in March 2025, Chinese exhibitors displayed banners outside the venue declaring their commitment to participating in the show despite facing punitive tariffs as high as 85%, thereby demonstrating their industry's resilience and determination toward the international market. Market data show that China’s fastener industry has maintained relatively stable competitiveness during this round of US-China trade conflict centered on tariffs, with export momentum and market share not significantly impacted.

U.S.

Japan's latest October economic report from its Central Bank showed manufacturing confidence hitting a three-year high, with steady and positive growth starting from Q1 2023. However, the Bank of Japan’s survey of medium and large manufacturers also reflected poor order situations outside of semiconductor and transportation equipment sectors. Orders in textiles and precision machinery have declined, a situation similar to Taiwan’s industry, where different sectors show mixed performance depending on their competitiveness.

French’s manufacturing sector officially exited a two-anda-half-year contraction in August 2025, with the PMI index rising to 50.4, signaling a return to expansion. Recovery was mainly driven by the transport equipment sector, especially the strong rebound in aerospace, combined with easing supply chain pressures. This trend has also boosted downstream fastener demand, helping French related companies regain momentum in the European market.

In contrast, Germany, Taiwan, the Netherlands, and Switzerland are facing slight export declines. Table 1 shows a global manufacturing trend of "regional warming but structural divergence." The stable export momentum of the US, China, and France is supported by their strong domestic demand and advanced manufacturing bases. Germany and Taiwan face minor export declines due to economic cycles and industrial transformation periods. It is worth noting that Taiwan's fastener industry maintained roughly the same performance in the first half of 2025 as the previous year. Despite excessive inventory levels and weakening purchasing power in Europe and the US, export value held steady, but negative industry news abounds, such as factory closures, layoffs, and unpaid leaves. The real reason lies in the lack of a clear gap in cost structure and product quality compared to competitors. Overall, the global focus of the fastener industry is reshuffling. Observing related end-market drivers like

the "red

3. Does Taiwan’s Advantage Still Exist?

In the first half of 2025, Taiwan showed a record of four wins and six losses among its top 10 export markets. As shown in Table 2, the overall pattern reflects stable export prices and flat export weight but structural changes. The U.S. remains the largest market, accounting for over 40% of exports, but export value declined by 1.9% year-on-year, reflecting ongoing effects of U.S. inventory reduction and local procurement strategies. It is also worth noting that the U.S. Tier-1 automotive supply chain is now adopting a multi-sourcing strategy, spreading orders across Mexico, Thailand, and India. Demand for high-strength, traceable fasteners remains strong. Taiwan’s capabilities in automotive and aerospace certification as well as dies precision currently maintain competitiveness within the American supply chains. Close monitoring of customer order changes is necessary.

Table.2. Taiwan’s Fastener Export, H1 2023-H1 2025

In contrast, Germany’s recovery is more structurally significant. Taiwan’s exports to Germany increased by 11.4% year-on-year in the first half of 2025, reflecting the gradual recovery of the European automotive and machinery manufacturing sectors since Q4 2024. Especially in lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and electric vehiclespecific fasteners, Taiwan offers stable delivery schedules and consistent craftsmanship that align with the strict European quality management and certification systems. Germany’s rebound also suggests that Taiwan’s position in the high-value end of the fastener supply chain remains solid.

In the same European market, the Netherlands and the UK saw declines of 4.8% and 5.9% respectively, indicating weaker growth momentum. This is due in part to some European importers adjusting inventory cycles and searching for lower-cost supply sources after logistics costs decreased. However, since the Netherlands and the UK mainly serve as transshipment and distribution centers, their declines do not necessarily indicate a drop in final demand; it may also reflect optimized supply allocation.

Data source: ITC/Compiled by Kristy Chi (Oct., 2025)

Canada and Japan grew by 8.3% and 3.9% respectively, mainly benefiting from nearshoring procurement trends. Canada, in particular, showed 8.3% growth compared to the same period last year, and 23.3% growth compared to the previous year. Canada is the second-largest purchasing base within the U.S. supply chain, and with expansions in new energy vehicles, heavy machinery, and infrastructure construction, demand for fasteners is steadily increasing. This suggests Canada could become Taiwan’s next strategic key market.

Overall, Taiwan’s fastener exports have not experienced significant decline, and the market structure remains stable, but structural pressures such as high material costs, currency appreciation, and labor shortages have led to actual profit declines.

Additionally, Mexico, a gateway to Latin America, saw an 8.7% year-on-year decrease, reflecting the improvement of local manufacturing and local supply chain self-sufficiency. In the mid-to-long term, Mexico will become a competitor rather than just a market, so collaboration or local setup strategies should be considered.

Table 3.

According to Table 3, the export unit prices of fasteners in various countries for Q2 2025 range between USD 2.0 and USD 4.1 per kilogram. Overall, Taiwan maintains the second-highest price among the listed competitors at USD 3.6 per kilogram, just behind Türkiye’s USD 4.1, and significantly higher than Vietnam's USD 2.4 and China's USD 2.0. This indicates that Taiwan’s fasteners still have a clear market positioning based on precision, stability, and supply trustworthiness. Its competitive advantage has not been weakened by the regional supply chain shifts.

Taking Türkiye as an example, its export unit price is slightly higher, and this is mainly due to its geographic proximity to the EU, shorter logistics cycles, and lower certification thresholds. Its supply structure is mostly concentrated in engineering construction and basic machinery fasteners, which do not fully overlap with Taiwan’s main markets in automotive, electronics, and advanced fasteners for electric vehicles. Therefore, it reflects more of a regional division of labor than direct substitution.

Regarding India, its average fastener export unit price globally was USD 2.49 per kilogram in Q1 2025 and slightly rose to USD 2.57 in Q2. This represents a slight decline compared to USD 3.37 and USD 2.62 in the same periods of 2024, showing a downward price trend. The main reason is not weak demand but changes in product and customer structure. India has actively taken over the redirection of orders from Europe and the US in recent years, with an increasing share of mid- to low-grade standard parts in automotive and machinery. These products are priced lower than aerospace or energygrade fasteners, diluting the overall average export price.

Moreover, India is in a manufacturing expansion phase, where policy subsidies and strategic low-price market entry cause short-term volume increases but price declines, which is typical of "expansionary growth." The Indian government promotes "Make in India" and export-oriented industrial

policies, including tax rebates, subsidies, and infrastructure investment. Many new factories adopt strategic pricing to secure long-term contracts by offering lower prices, resulting in short-term unit price decline but increased orders. This is a growth strategy prioritizing market penetration. Thailand’s export prices show a similar trend.

For China, the average export unit price of its fasteners globally was USD 1.94 per kilogram in Q1 2025 and slightly rose to USD 1.98 in Q2. This is a mild decline compared to USD 2.11 and USD 1.99 in the same periods of 2024, displaying a price downtrend. However, China’s price decline follows a different logic: through industrial cluster subsidies and financing support to cope with tariffs, its competitiveness is not purely market-driven. This allows companies to remain resilient despite weak global demand and high tariffs, but such policy-intensive interventions are not easily replicable.

Facing Vietnam’s rise, Taiwanese fastener companies’ anxiety is understandable: moving production there means facing higher capital pressures and policy risks, while staying in Taiwan means dealing with rising material and labor costs. However, Vietnam’s rise reflects a geopolitical supply chain reshuffle rather than pure price substitution. Vietnam, benefiting from multinational supply chain shifts and tariff advantages under EVFTA and CPTPP, is suited as a production base considering both cost and customs clearance efficiency. Taiwan still controls high value-added aspects such as dies precision, process control, rapid prototyping, quality verification, and carbon footprint data. Thus, their relationship is better seen as cooperation through division of labor rather than market competition.

Overall, Taiwanese manufacturers maintain a high-quality positioning in the global supply chain and enjoy strong trust from customers. The key going forward is whether they can further improve bargaining power by enhancing technical services and move toward a new stage of value-added price premium.

Taiwan’s and Other Competitors’ Fastener Export Prices

4. Conclusion

From the overall global fastener import-export situation in the first half of 2025, Taiwanese fastener market is not facing an "industry-wide wave of factory closures" described by the media but rather entering a phase of global structural redivision of labor. The United States and Germany remain Taiwan’s two most critical markets. Compared to emerging competitors, Taiwan’s fastener export unit price remains high, indicating that the market is still willing to pay for Taiwan’s technology, stability, and yield rates. China’s competitiveness is supported by protective policies; India and Thailand compete mostly through volume, while Vietnam’s rise reflects a geographic shift in supply chains rather than technological replacement.

Therefore, aside from cost concerns, the real key for Taiwan lies in its positioning within the global supply chain. For example, a fastener manufacturer that originally focused on construction and automotive sectors have successfully entered the stainless steel bolt market for semiconductor

equipment over the past five years around the COVID-19. Some companies have penetrated the wind power and solar panel mounting sectors with high corrosion-resistant surface treatments, or entered the US home renovation distribution channel through customized packaging and product integration, demonstrating Taiwan’s flexible advantage in high precision and rapid application change.

To sustain competitiveness in the future, Taiwan’s fastener industry should shift from "manufacturing" toward "system collaboration/modularization," focusing on dies manufacturing capability, testing and verification, carbon footprint management, traceable data, and co-design with customers as its core value, thereby increasing its market importance. When Taiwan can provide safety, controllability, and proven quality, the market will no longer define Taiwan by price but by trust and irreplaceability. This is the true strategic position for Taiwan fasteners in the next phase.

Rising FastenerDemanding Country in the Middle East:

QATAR

Copyright owned by Fastener World / Article by Dr. Sharareh Shahidi Hamedani, UNITAR International University

Qatar’s fastener demand—bolts, screws, nuts, washers and specialized anchor systems—is not a fad. It is being driven by a concentrated and governmentled construction and energy investment wave that lifts demand rapidly, but also exposes suppliers and buyers to pronounced project-concentration risk, supplychain volatility, and pricing pressure. If you plan to enter or expand into Qatar’s fastener market, treat this as a strategic play: know where the demand is, how long it will last, who controls specification and procurement, and how to survive the commodity cycles. Don’t romanticize growth—prepare for boomand-bust behavior and heavy technical & logistics requirements.

Why Qatar — the Demand Drivers

Several converging decisions by the Qatari state and corporates produce elevated fastener needs:

Energy expansion (North Field and LNG capacity): Qatar’s multi-phase LNG expansion (North Field expansions) aims to raise capacity substantially (announcements in 2024 forecast capacity rises to the 140+ Million Tonnes Per Annum range by the end of the decade). Such upstream and downstream projects require massive quantities of different type of fasteners.

Large urban and transport projects: Lusail City, Doha Metro and port expansions (Hamad Port upgrades, logistics hubs) involve high-rise construction, civil works, mechanical installations, trackwork’s and façade systems. on the other hand, the legacy of World Cup infrastructure left a follow-on pipeline of urban projects and maintenance needs. These types of projects also require massive quantities of different types of fasteners. How big are these projects?

◆ Qatar Long Distance Railway Project: The project aims to provide freight and passenger services within Qatar, as well as provide links to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

◆ Sharq Crossing Project: The USD12bn project is set to provide a 12km road connection via both bridge and subsea tunnel between North and South Doha. Having initially been developed in 2013, the project was relaunched in Qatar’s 2020 budget.

◆ Hamad International Airport Terminal Expansion: The second phase of the expansion of the Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, started in January 2023.

Industrial and manufacturing growth: As of 2024, over 1,400 new industrial firms were established, bringing total production value to USD 720 billion, a 3% rise from USD 710 Billion in 2023. The MoCI reported 990 industrial registrations and 471 licenses, totalling 1,461 new firms. Industrial investment reached USD 64.59 billion, up from USD 63.76 billion in 2023. Key growth sectors include fabricated metal products (219 firms), non-metallic mineral products (216), rubber and plastics (201), food products (177), and chemicals (124).

This broad-based industrial expansion—particularly in metal fabrication, chemical processing, and manufacturing, is expected to significantly boost demand for fasteners, as new plants, machinery, and infrastructure projects drive both initial installation and ongoing maintenance needs.

Population & private building: Residential development and hospitality expansion (hotels, serviced apartments) underpin steady demand in the construction fastener segment, though these needs are more fragmented and price-sensitive than large energy/infrastructure contracts. The reports show both transaction volumes and values in the residential sector posting strong year-on-year growth. There were 1,844 residential sales in Q2 2025, totalling USD 2.53 bn, representing a 114% increase compared to the same period last year.

Risks and Headwinds to Plan For

Qatar’s fastener market offers solid opportunities but carries significant risks that require foresight and control.

Project Concentration Risk

Demand often depends on large, state-led projects such as the North Field Expansion or Lusail City development. These projects can create short-term surges in fastener consumption, especially for heavy-duty and corrosion-resistant fasteners used in energy and infrastructure works. However, when such projects slow or end, demand can fall sharply, straining cash flow.

Commodity Price Volatility

Fastener producers and distributors rely heavily on steel and alloy imports, and global price swings directly affect margins. For example, the spike in steel prices in early 2022 increased costs for Qatari construction suppliers by over 20%. Using hedging strategies, flexible contracts, or indexed pricing can mitigate exposure to sudden raw-material price changes.

Regulatory and Compliance Risk

Qatar enforces strict procurement and Qatar Construction Specifications (QCS) standards. Delays in labour approval or environmental compliance—as seen in some industrial zones near Ras Laffan—can disrupt production and delivery schedules. Maintaining full compliance with MoCI and QCS requirements is crucial for long-term reliability.

Geopolitical and Regional Logistics Risk

Regional tensions or port congestion can disrupt supply routes through Hamad Port and neighboring Gulf ports. During the 2017 blockade, fastener shipments from certain suppliers were delayed for months. Diversifying logistics options—using multiple sea routes, bonded warehouses, or limited air freight capacity—reduces vulnerability to such shocks.

Quality and Reputational Risk

One failed batch or inspection can lead to exclusion from state-backed infrastructure projects. For instance, in 2021, a local subcontractor was reportedly removed from a government tender list after a single failed fastener strength test. Consistent testing, certification (ISO 898-1, ASTM A325), and strict vendor audits are essential to prevent lasting reputational damage.

Market Risk

Qatar’s Fastener Market Outlook

Qatar is emerging as one of the Middle East’s most dynamic fastener-demanding markets, driven by state-led investments in energy, infrastructure, and industrial diversification. The combination of the North Field LNG expansion, large-scale urban projects like Lusail City and the Sharq Crossing, and the rapid establishment of over 1,400 new industrial firms has created sustained demand for structural, mechanical, and specialized fasteners across multiple sectors. At the same time, the strong rebound in residential and hospitality construction further broadens the market base, ensuring that demand is not limited to state megaprojects alone. However, this rise is not without volatility. Fastener consumption in Qatar mirrors the rhythm of project cycles—rapid acceleration followed by sharp slowdowns once major phases conclude. Suppliers must also contend with imported raw material price fluctuations, strict regulatory compliance, and logistics risks stemming from regional instability. Those who succeed will be the ones who treat Qatar not as a transactional market, but as a technically demanding and strategically vital one—investing in certification, stock readiness, and local partnerships. In essence, Qatar represents both a highreward and high-discipline market where fastener suppliers can thrive only through foresight, precision, and adaptability.

Fastener & Metal-Processing

Analyzing the Industry in Malaysia

Malaysia’s fastener and metal-processing industries sit at a pragmatic crossroads: they are sizable, technically capable in mid-tier manufacturing (stamping, machining, coating), and tightly coupled to the country’s stronger export industries (automotive, electrical & electronics, oil & gas). That gives them steady demand and technical know-how — but also exposes them to rawmaterial overcapacity, price swings, and global competition.

The Industrial Context: Metal Processing + Fasteners in Malaysia

Malaysia’s manufacturing sector is strategically important — accounting for roughly 23–24% of GDP in recent reports — and it hosts mature clusters for precision metal stamping, machining, and components for automotive, electrical & electronics (E&E), aerospace spares and oil & gas fabrication. The metal-processing ecosystem includes roll-forming, cold heading (for many fastener types), heat treatment and plating/coating services (zinc, hot-dip galvanizing, passivation).

Two structural facts define the playing field:

1. Downstream capability is solid, midtier to high-mix: Malaysia’s metal-stamping and precision parts factories can do small-tomedium runs with good quality control — ideal to supply OEM lines in Penang, Kulim, Selangor and Johor.

2. Upstream overcapacity & import exposure: Malaysia has significant upstream steel capacity and rising exports, but also faces regional overcapacity challenges (ASEAN and China production surpluses), causing volatility in raw-material costs and utilization rates.

Market Size, Structure and Projections

Market Scale (Range):

• Credence estimates the Malaysian industrial fasteners market at ~USD 214.2 million (2024) with a forecast to ~USD 344.7 million by 2032 (CAGR ≈6.1%). If the numbers of inclusion/exclusion of OEM fasteners, plastic fasteners and related services add to this market, the market size is a larger estimate (USD 455.9 million in 2024) with a forecast to ~USD 672.6 million by 2030 (CAGR ≈6.8%).

• Growth drivers: Automotive (including rising EV assembly capacity), E&E (semiconductor and electronics assembly), infrastructure/construction works, and after-market maintenance for oil & gas and heavy industry are the primary demand engines. Automotive TIP reached ~790,347 units in 2024 (production highs), supporting strong localized fastener content per vehicle.

Trade Flows & Supply Chain Reality

Trade data show Malaysia both imports and exports fasteners and related articles — the country is not a pure end-market; it is a regional assembly and re-export hub for many metal components.

• Imports: HS code series 7318, Trademap datasets report USD 588 million for 2023 and USD 619 million for 2024.

• Exports & processing: HS code series 7318, Trademap datasets report USD 268.1 million for 2023 and USD 328.2 million for 2024.

Sectoral Demand Breakdown — Where Screws/Bolts are Consumed

• 2024 Automotive Data (OEM and Tier Suppliers):

Copyright owned by Fastener World / Article by Behrooz Lotfian

•Vehicle Sales (Total Industry Volume) & EV/BEV Share

Total Industry Volume (vehicle sales/registrations) was 816,747 units in 2024, also a record.

• Government Policy, Localisation, EV Plants

• Local assembly of EVs / electrified models is increasing: e.g., MercedesBenz is assembling its EQS 500 4MATIC in Pekan, Pahang.

• States like Pahang are aiming to become EV assembly hubs.

• Malacca has EV manufacturing investment: e.g. Fieldman EV plant (in partnership with Changan) slated for approx. RM1 billion investments.

• Incentives & shift toward localisation.

• Import duty and excise duty exemptions for CBU (completely built-up) EVs are valid until end-2025. After that, pressure to assemble locally or use CKD (completely knocked down) / semi-knockdown operations increases.

• Government aims under National Automotive Policy (NAP 2020) and EV / clean mobility roadmaps are pushing more OEMs, Tier-suppliers to localise component production.

• Electrical & Electronics (E&E):

In 2024, Malaysia’s E&E exports reached RM 601.18 billion, equivalent to approximately USD 130 to 150 billion depending on exchange rates. This represented a 4.5% increase compared to 2023 and marked the highest value ever recorded. E&E products accounted for roughly 39.9% of Malaysia’s total exports, underscoring their critical role in the country’s manufacturing base.

Within the broader manufacturing sector, E&E remained the largest subcategory of manufactured goods exports. The segment continued to dominate Malaysia’s export portfolio throughout 2024, particularly through the strong performance of integrated circuits and semiconductor devices, which remain the backbone of Malaysia’s E&E export strength.

Monthly export data further highlight the momentum of this sector. In April 2025, Malaysia’s E&E exports rose sharply by 35.4% year-on-year, reaching RM 60.2 billion compared to approximately RM 44.5 billion in April 2024. This level of volatility — combined with such strong year-on-year growth — reflects both global demand surges and Malaysia’s increasing production capacity in highvalue electronics.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) trends reinforce this story of expansion. Malaysia recorded net FDI inflows of RM 51.5 billion in 2024, up significantly from RM 38.6 billion in 2023, with manufacturing — particularly E&E — remaining a major recipient. The rise in FDI signals growing international confidence in Malaysia’s capability as a regional electronics and semiconductor hub.

• Construction & infrastructure : Malaysia’s construction sector continues to expand at a remarkable pace, sustaining strong demand for fasteners across civil engineering, residential, and nonresidential segments. According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), the total value of construction work done reached approximately USD 9.1 billion in Q1 2025 and USD 9.3 billion in Q2 2025, amounting to over USD 18 billion within just six months. This high level of ongoing project activity translates directly into intensive and recurring consumption of standard fasteners, particularly anchor bolts, structural bolts, and self-tapping screws used throughout Malaysia’s expanding infrastructure network.

Growth indicators remain robust. Construction output grew by 16.6% year-on-year in Q1 2025 and 12.9% in Q2 2025 (DOSM, 2025). These doubledigit increases confirm that the industry’s expansion is not cyclical or stagnant, but instead part of a steady upward trajectory — one that ensures sustained, predictable demand for fasteners as both public and private construction pipelines broaden.

A breakdown of project segments highlights the sources of this demand. In Q2 2025, of the total USD 9.3 billion in work done, around USD 3.47 billion (37.1%) was derived from civil engineering projects such as roads, railways, and utilities; USD 2.64 billion (28.2%) from non-residential buildings; USD 2.13 billion (22.8%) from residential projects; and roughly USD 1.11 billion (11.9%) from specialized trade activities, including site preparation and MEP works. Quick Guide to Fastener Demand in Malaysia’s Construction Market

For the full year 2024, the total value of construction work done reached approximately USD 33.8 billion, representing a 20.2% increase over 2023 (DOSM). Such magnitude illustrates that Malaysia’s construction industry is not only recovering but accelerating, creating a stable baseline market for standard anchor bolts, structural bolts, and related fastener systems used across the country’s rapidly modernizing built environment.

Conclusion

Malaysia’s fastener and metal-processing industries are strategically positioned within the country’s broader manufacturing ecosystem, benefiting from their integration with high-demand sectors such as automotive, electrical & electronics (E&E), and construction. Strong downstream capabilities, including precision stamping, cold heading, and coating/plating, allow local manufacturers to meet both technical and volume requirements for OEMs, Tier suppliers, and infrastructure projects.

The domestic market demonstrates steady growth, with industrial fasteners supported by rising automotive production — including the expanding electrified vehicle segment — robust E&E exports, and ongoing infrastructure and construction activity. Trade data further highlight Malaysia’s dual role as both an importer and exporter of fasteners, underscoring its function as a regional assembly and re-export hub.

Sectoral analysis reveals diversified demand: automotive drives high and specialized fastener consumption; E&E requires precision fasteners for semiconductor and electronics assembly; and construction projects generate consistent demand for standard and structural fasteners. Together, these factors create a stable, recurring market, while Malaysia’s growth in electrified vehicles, industrial automation, and national infrastructure projects points to increasing demand for technical and high-quality fasteners.

In summary, Malaysia’s fastener and metal-processing industries enjoy solid technical capability, diverse sectoral demand, and growing market opportunities, positioning them well for sustained expansion. While challenges remain — including raw material volatility and competitive pressures — the combination of strong industrial integration, supportive government policies, and continued sectoral growth ensures that Malaysia remains a key hub for fastener production and metalprocessing within the region.

Overview and 2026 Outlook Fastener Demanding Industries Turkish

Copyright owned by Fastener World / Article by Shervin Shahidi Hamedani

Market Context

Looking ahead to 2026, the automotive transition will reshape Türkiye’s fastener demand in three main ways:

Türkiye has established itself as one of the fastest-rising fastener production and export hubs in Europe, leveraging its customs union with the EU, relatively competitive cost structure, and a maturing industrial base. Exports already account for more than half of national production, with the EU absorbing close to 60 percent of Turkish fasteners. Domestic consumption, meanwhile, is anchored by three critical demand pillars: automotive, machinery, and construction.

THREE CRITICAL DEMAND PILLARS

Machinery A Automotive Construction

The trajectory of the industry is shaped by the balance between industrial upgrading, cyclical demand in Europe, energy and input costs, and Türkiye’s push for localization in defense, aerospace, and renewable energy. While commodity fasteners remain important, the competitive landscape is shifting toward higher-margin and higher-performance segments.

Automotive as the Leading Driver

The automotive industry remains the largest single consumer of fasteners in Türkiye. With more than 1.4 million vehicles produced in 2023 and a consistently high export ratio, automotive demand provides both scale and sophistication. Approximately 80 percent of the fasteners used in domestic vehicle assembly are supplied by Turkish manufacturers, demonstrating a deep level of integration into OEM value chains.

• Electrification: Growth in electric vehicle production will require specialized fastening systems for battery housings, lightweight chassis components, and electrical safety-critical parts.

• Lightweighting : EU emissions regulations are accelerating the use of advanced materials, increasing demand for high-strength, low-weight fasteners designed for aluminum and composite structures.

• Tier-1 Localization: European nearshoring strategies are pushing OEMs to expand local supply bases. This creates new opportunities for Turkish fastener producers, provided they can meet strict European quality and certification requirements.

Fastener Demand in Three Main Ways

Machinery and Capital Goods Momentum

Machinery exports reached USD 25.5 billion in 2022, accounting for nearly 10 percent of Türkiye’s total exports. Industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and factory automation systems are all steady consumers of precision bolts, specialty screws, and structural fasteners. Between 2024 and 2026, growth in machinery output is expected to accelerate on the back of industrial investment and infrastructure projects in Türkiye’s domestic market as well as in Central Asia and the Middle East. This is a segment where Turkish fastener producers can differentiate themselves. Machinery demand often requires medium-volume, customized fasteners with short lead times. Turkish producers, with their geographic advantage and increasing automation, can compete effectively with Asian commodity suppliers by focusing on agility and application-specific solutions.

Sources of Fasteners Used in Turikish Vehicle Assembly

Construction and Infrastructure

Construction is historically one of Türkiye’s most volatile sectors, tied closely to credit availability, government infrastructure budgets, and residential demand. The 2023 earthquake and subsequent tightening of seismic safety regulations have raised the importance of high-quality anchors, facade systems, and seismic-grade structural fasteners. Government-led urban renewal and infrastructure investment will continue to drive demand through 2026, particularly for public works projects.

Margins in construction fasteners are generally thinner than in automotive or machinery, but volumes are significant. The key strategic question for producers will be whether to compete on price in bulk structural fasteners or to differentiate through certified, higher-grade solutions that align with evolving building codes.

Emerging Sectors: Defense, Aerospace, and Renewables

Beyond the traditional drivers, emerging sectors are opening new growth avenues. Türkiye’s defense industry is undergoing a rapid transformation, with a strategic objective of meeting more than 80 percent of domestic requirements through local sourcing. This includes the fasteners used in armored vehicles, naval platforms, and aerospace systems. Aerospacegrade fasteners are particularly attractive due to their margins, but they require extensive certification and R&D investment. A small but growing number of Turkish manufacturers are positioning themselves to enter this niche.

Renewable energy, especially wind and solar, represents another promising frontier. Wind turbine towers, solar panel mounting systems, and offshore energy structures require specialized fasteners designed for high stress and corrosion resistance. With Türkiye targeting 65 percent renewable electricity generation by 2035, demand for renewable-related fasteners is set to increase steadily.

Trade Dynamics and Competitive Pressures

Türkiye’s fastener trade structure reflects both strengths and vulnerabilities. Imports stand at roughly 95,000 tons annually, while exports reach around 300,000 tons. The bulk of these exports go to the EU, but diversification toward the Middle East, North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa has been accelerating.

The competitive pressure comes from two ends: low-cost Asian imports that dominate commodity categories, and high-spec European suppliers that lead in aerospace and advanced automotive. Turkish manufacturers hold advantages in geographic proximity, customs union access, and flexible production capabilities. However, energy price volatility, currency depreciation, and dependency on imported alloy steels and coatings present ongoing risks.

Provide certified, higher-grade solutions

Maintaining growth beyond 2026 will require Turkish producers to prioritize differentiation over scale. Competing purely on price will expose them to greater margin pressure, while investment in higher-value fasteners can secure a more resilient position.

2024-2025 Trade Snapshot

The latest trade cycle highlights Türkiye’s strengthening position in the fastener market as it moves toward 2026. As shown in the accompanying chart ( Figure 1.), which presents monthly export and import values in million U.S. dollars, both indicators fluctuated over the year, yet exports maintained a clear upward trajectory, widening the trade surplus. This steady divergence reflects growing competitiveness and deeper integration of Turkish producers into European supply chains.

( Unit: Million USD)

The pattern suggests more than a temporary rebound. Increased export activity aligns with higher order volumes from the automotive and machinery sectors, while stable import levels indicate that domestic manufacturers are capturing a larger share of internal demand. Despite currency pressures and cost fluctuations, Türkiye’s fastener exports have shown resilience, supported by technological upgrading and consistent product quality. The 2024–2025 trend therefore reinforces the sector’s transition from volume-based growth toward higher value-added specialization, a foundation for sustained momentum entering 2026.

Figure 1. Turkish Fastener Import and Export Trends (Aug. 2024- Aug. 2025)

Challenges to 2026

Despite the sector’s positive trajectory, several structural and operational pressures could constrain growth if left unaddressed. Most are not new, but their combined impact is expected to intensify between 2024 and 2026 as the industry faces tighter margins, higher certification costs, and volatile macroeconomic conditions. The key challenges include:

• Raw material dependency on imported alloy steels and coating chemicals, leaving producers exposed to exchange rate volatility.

• Energy intensity of heat treatment and plating processes, making costs highly sensitive to fluctuations in electricity and natural gas prices.

• Certification and quality requirements as a barrier to entering aerospace, EV, and renewable energy supply chains.

• Global demand cyclicality, especially in the automotive and construction industries, which remain vulnerable to European economic slowdowns.

Strategic Imperatives

For the industry to achieve sustainable growth through 2026 and beyond, several strategic imperatives emerge. First, investments in advanced metallurgy, testing, and certification capacity are essential to unlock premium markets. Second, diversification of export destinations beyond the EU will reduce dependency on a single demand center. Third, automation and digital inspection technologies can help align production with the stringent standards of global OEMs. Fourth, greater localization of raw material inputs will mitigate the risks tied to currency and logistics volatility.

Outlook to 2026 and Beyond

As 2025 draws to a close, Türkiye’s fastener industry has maintained a stable recovery trajectory despite exchange-rate volatility and uneven global demand. Export performance remains resilient, sustained by European automotive and machinery demand, while domestic consumption has benefited from renewed industrial investment and infrastructure activity.

In 2026, the sector is expected to sustain moderate expansion, with domestic demand likely to grow by around 3-5 percent and exports by 5-7 percent, provided macroeconomic conditions remain stable. The medium-term outlook to 2030 points to continued capacity growth and gradual product upgrading, potentially taking total national output beyond one million tons within the decade.

The industry’s next phase will be defined less by volume and more by capability. Turkish manufacturers are moving toward higher-value segments, specialty, highstrength, and application-specific fasteners, supported by automation, certification, and closer integration with global OEM supply chains. The transition will require sustained investment in technology and process quality, but it positions Türkiye to consolidate its role as the most competitive fastener hub bridging Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia.

Not only did local Polish exhibitors and buyers demonstrate high enthusiasm for participation, but also numerous buyers from neighboring Central and Eastern European countries traveled long distances to source products, conduct business inquiries, and observe the latest industry trends. Furthermore, benefiting from the recent trend of automotive assembly industries gradually shifting their operations to Central and Eastern Europe (such as Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia), coupled with Poland's sustained economic growth momentum over the past two years and the vigorous progress of its metro construction and multiple infrastructure projects, many buyers visiting the exhibition were actively inquiring about relevant fastener products, aiming to strategically position themselves ahead of the curve during this favorable market phase.

Additionally, the Economic Development Bureau (EDB) of Kaohsiung City Government provided substantial support to Kaohsiung-based exhibitors seeking to expand into the European market and secure more orders as well. With the infusion of government resources, Taiwanese exhibitors reaped particularly rich rewards from this year's participation, bolstering their confidence in strengthening future collaborative ties with European industrial chains, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe.

Taiwan’s Fastener Export Trends & Automotive Fastener Transformation Challenges

Taiwan Fastener Exports Show Upward Potential

In the July 2025 issue of Fastener World Magazine (No. 213), we reviewed the statistics of Taiwan's exports of all types of fasteners (HS 7318) to the world over the past 20 years. We found that the export value grew by 15.7% in the last decade ( Figure 1 ). The growth is even higher at 80% over the past 20 years’ spectrum. The export value peaked for the first time after Trump first took office as President in 2017, reaching 4.639 billion USD. It then fluctuated downward due to the US-China trade war, but surged to a historic high of 6.127 billion USD in 2022 following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by humongous overseas orders redirected to Taiwan. The export weight also hit a record high at 1.61 million tons ( Figure 2), indicating Taiwan's fasteners have been able to sustain a longterm upward trend despite market volatility.

In 2023, Taiwan’s fastener industry ended the post-pandemic export record driven by strong overseas demand and entered a phase of cyclical recession (downward fluctuations). During this period, Fastener World conducted interviews with several Taiwanese manufacturers and consulted key association chairpersons at major events to understand the causes behind the sharp decline in Taiwan’s fastener exports over the past three years, especially 2025. The findings show the reason was not disappearing rigid demand from overseas clients, but an unveiled structural change.

Before Trump's second term, overseas clients ended their explosive purchase of Taiwan fasteners and entered an inventory adjustment phase, causing a significant drop in Taiwan’s export volume between 2023 and 2024. At that time, overseas buyers were balancing procurement and inventory—a temporary demand gap that was supposed to restart procurement once inventory levels had been adjusted. However, with Trump’s reelection as US president this year, the global economic and trade environment rapidly entered the next phase of structural transformation, causing another round of supply chain reorganization. Rising protectionism, unpredictable tariffs, and currency fluctuations flooded the market with high uncertainty, making buyers and investors more conservative in their purchasing decisions. They manage cash flow cautiously and adopt a wait-and-see stance. Fastener World learned through interviews that some overseas hardware parts companies have paused external procurement and only consume inventory this year to mitigate market risks. This does not mean overseas rigid demand has disappeared; demand is expected to rebound once uncertainty eases.

Taiwan GDP Provides Support from Market Fundamentals; Housing Transactions Coincide with Fastener Export

Looking at the long term and combined with historical statistics, Taiwan’s fastener exports are expected to continue rising once market uncertainties ease. Additionally, Fastener World mentioned in the June 2021 issue (No. 188) of the magazine that GDP, besides representing a country's economic conditions, also helps to gauge demand in the fastener market and has become an important

indicator for many Taiwanese fastener business owners to measure market climate. With this in mind, Figure 3 compiles Taiwan's real GDP changes over the past decade (source: MacroMicro). Taiwan's GDP has consistently reached new highs over the years, indicating that Taiwan's economic development strength still supports the overall market environment.

From Figure 4 (source: MacroMicro ), which shows Taiwan’s housing transaction volumes over the past 10 years (including new, secondhand, and pre-sale houses), the trend was generally upward until 2022, hitting a bottom in 2023. This trend coincides with Taiwan’s fastener export during the same period. Although the transaction volume rose again in 2024, due to the Taiwanese government’s housing market cooling policies implemented in the latter half of 2024, the volume sharply declined in 2025, paralleling the 2025 fastener export forecast dip shown in Figure 1

Fig. 4. Taiwan’s Housing Transaction Volumes (Past Decade)

Potential Concerns for Taiwan’s Fastener Exports

Although the long-term trend shows continuous growth in Taiwan’s fastener export's value, there is a hidden issue worth noting. Figure 5 records Taiwan’s automotive fastener exports over the past decade. Since automotive fasteners in Taiwan do not have a dedicated customs code, this article uses five categories of fasteners commonly used by car manufacturers for statistical analysis: Customs codes HS 731815 (other screws and bolts, including those with or without nuts and washers), HS 731816 (nuts), HS 731821 (spring washers and other locking washers), HS 731823 (rivets), and HS 731824 (cotter pins and split pins).

The findings show these five categories generally declined over the past decade, with HS 731815 and HS 731823 declining the most significantly. This indicates a persistent drop in demand for automotive-related fasteners, which impacts Taiwan’s fastener export performance. This article further analyzes changes in automotive fastener demand and provides relevant countermeasures.

Potential Factors for the Decline in Taiwan’s Automotive Fastener Exports

1

Structural Changes in Global Automotive Fastener Demand

In recent years, the global economy has been filled with uncertainties, and the US and European markets have slowed down. Central banks worldwide have raised interest rates and tightened credit conditions; auto loan rates are increased, raising car purchase costs. New car prices have been pushed higher in recent years, reducing affordability for consumers.

Furthermore, starting from the second half of 2024, the global automotive sales growth slowed down. The three major car markets—USA, China, and Europe—had been rapidly destocking, with Europe recovering the slowest, reaching only about 80% of the pre-pandemic level. In the first half of 2025, many regions experienced weak car buying sentiment, partly due to expectations of tariff and goods tax, causing consumer hesitation and a decline in new car sales.

INDUSTRY FOCUS

While emerging markets like China, India, and Southeast Asia still have growth potential supporting the global automotive market, mature markets in Europe and the US face sales stagnation or decline pressures. As vehicle production and sales fall short of expectations, demand for automotive components is pulled back.

Technical Transformation Impact from Fuel Vehicles Shifting to Electric Vehicles

Despite overall automotive market weakness, new energy vehicles such as electric vehicles and plugin hybrids continue fast growth, driving the global car industry. Cars are moving toward lightweighting, increased use of carbon fiber, composite materials, aluminum alloys, plastics, and high-performance materials, altering demand and design specifications for conventional metal fasteners. Table 1 compares fastener use in fuel vehicles and electric vehicles.

Some carmakers may intend to design critical components in-house or shift to autonomous supply chains, reducing reliance on external procurement. The transformation challenge for Taiwan’s automotive fastener makers is to move toward modularization, system integration, lightweighting, and multi-material combinations to create irreplaceable value.

Changes in Carmakers’ Deployment

Lower manufacturing costs in China, Vietnam, India, and production base shifts by some carmakers to Southeast Asia make it easier for suppliers located in those places to win fastener orders over Taiwan. To reduce transportation costs and tariff risks, carmakers often require key component suppliers to establish local plants or source nearby, causing existing Taiwanese suppliers’ orders to be displaced. Overreliance on few automakers or regions would expose Taiwanese fastener companies to big revenue risks when clients change strategies or reduce orders.

Table 1. Fastener Use in Fuel Vehicles and Electric Vehicles

About 3,000 to 5,000 pieces.

About 2–3%.

High-strength steel fasteners for engine, transmission, and exhaust. Common fasteners for chassis, body structure, engine, drivetrain, suspension, seats, doors, interior panels like bolts, nuts, rivets, clips, spring clips, and latches.

Complexity of internal combustion engine and transmission leads to higher fastener use.

Automotive fastener demand declines due to shrinking conventional fuel vehicle markets.

About 2,000 to 3,500 pieces (variable by design), about 6.16% fewer than fuel vehicles (e.g., General Motors EVs).

About 1.5–2.5%.

Mainly used for batteries, electric motors, and body. Adhesives and welding replace traditional fasteners, further reducing metal fastener use. Demand for lightweight, special alloys, and plastic fasteners increases.

Simpler powertrain with only 20–30 moving parts (motors and drivetrain), drastically reducing fastener usage.

Automotive fasteners move toward lightweight, customized high-value fasteners for EVs.

4 Tariffs and Appreciating Taiwan Dollar Erode Profit Margins

The US government levies a 25% additional tariff on imported cars and some auto parts, and a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum products (including fasteners). Facing tariff barriers, many automotive parts manufacturers have set up plants in the US or Mexico to avoid taxes, and Taiwanese fastener firms are also expanding multinational manufacturing.

Additionally, the USD-to-TWD exchange rate dropped sharply from around 33 TWD against 1 USD in April to 28.95 on June 27, and was 30.7 as of October 15, showing a persistent trend of TWD appreciation during Trump’s current term, lasting over six months. Some Taiwanese companies reported foreign exchange losses exceeding 10%.

Rising raw material, shipping, and logistics costs have also increased international transport and distribution expenses in fastener cost structures.

Taiwan already faces intense competition from low-cost Chinese and Southeast Asian products; the loss of currency advantage further weakens the international price com-petitiveness of Taiwanese automotive fasteners.

Possible Measures for Taiwanese Automotive Fastener Companies

Given the four potential factors mentioned above, this article offers several upgrade and transformation suggestions for Taiwanese automotive fastener companies through Table 2

Regarding "Build Alliances / Collaborate on Overseas Deployment" mentioned in Table 2 , a new development in Taiwan is in the making. Over the past 40 years, Taiwan’s automotive industry mainly focused on assembly and after-sales services, lacking a foundation for an independent automobile industry. However, a significant shift has occurred recently. Foxconn actively strengths its prowess in the automotive sector, completing the acquisition of a 50% stake in German technology leader ZF’s chassis module company in April last year and establishing a joint venture. This move not only strengthened Foxconn’s strategic position in the automotive components supply chain, especially in chassis modules, but also laid the foundation for its future competitive advantages. Using its CDMS (Contract Design and Manufacturing Services) model, Foxconn collaborates with overseas customers to export EV models such as MODEL B, MODEL C, and MODEL T. Through its acquisition strategy and business model combination, Foxconn is building a Taiwanese automotive supply chain linked to international giants and gradually

Taiwan’s fastener industry has demonstrated strong market resilience and development potential through years of steady growth. However, facing global economic changes and deep structural transformation in automotive fastener demand, Taiwanese companies must actively adjust strategies—from enhancing product value, innovating new materials, to expanding global deployment and diversifying customer portfolios—to maintain advantages in fierce global competition. By adapting to market changes and seizing emerging opportunities, Taiwan’s fastener industry will continue to shine on the global stage.

realizing Taiwan’s assembly of EVs. For Taiwan’s automotive fastener companies, entering Foxconn’s supply chain, if successful, would bring new production, R&D and export opportunities, promoting Taiwan’s fastener industry development and enhancing international competitiveness.

Vietnam's Automotive Industry

Vietnam’s automobile industry clusters are mainly concentrated in two major economic zones. One is centered around the capital, Hanoi, and includes the Tra Noc Industrial Zone in Can Tho City in southern Vietnam, as well as places like Thai Nguyen and Hai Phong. The other is centered around Ho Chi Minh City, including economic zones in Dong Nai Province, Binh Duong Province, and the assembly base in Thanh Hoa. Both major economic zones are close to ports with convenient transportation and serve as logistics hubs for the north and south respectively. They have higher income levels and greater purchasing power. Meanwhile, these two main industrial clusters host many large stateowned conventional machinery manufacturing enterprises with better technical labor foundations. Leading automobile manufacturers choose these two economic zones to establish production or sales locations, forming an automobile industry cluster.

Low Localization of Automobiles in Vietnam Leads to International Leaders Deploying Vietnamese Supply Chains

To encourage automobile manufacturing, assembly, and production of automotive components, Vietnam integrates and allocates parts resources in three major key economic zones and adjacent areas. These include the Northern economic triangle: Hanoi, Hai Phong Province, and Ninh Binh Province; Central Vietnam: Da Nang City and Khanh Hoa Province; and Southern Vietnam: an automobile industry cluster composed of four economic zones around Ho Chi Minh City, Ba Ria – Vung Tau Province, Dong Nai Province, Binh Duong Province, plus Can Tho City.

To improve the localization rate of automobiles, the Vietnamese government has implemented a series of measures including providing low-interest loans and preferential tax policies to domestic manufacturers. It sets import tariff rates based on different components, replacing the original tariffs on complete knockdown (CKD) kits, and proposes preferential mechanisms for manufacturing automobile engines, transmissions, drive systems, and producing special and regular vehicles. It also expands exports of automotive components to neighboring countries and regions. However, most key components, such as engines, transmissions, chassis, and suspension systems, are still imported.

Leading Vietnamese automobile manufacturers include Vinamotor, Veam, Vinacoal, and SAMCO, all investing in automobile and related parts manufacturing and assembly. Vinamotor focuses on manufacturing and assembling passenger cars, light and medium trucks, automotive engines, gears, and transmission modules. Veam is engaged in manufacturing and assembling passenger cars, light and medium trucks, engines, and transmission system parts. Vinacoal manufactures and assembles medium and large trucks, special vehicles, and related parts. SAMCO manufactures and assembles passenger cars and produces automobile parts.

According to statistics from Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade, more than 30 companies (mainly in northern Vietnam) have been authorized to import automotive components for vehicle assembly. Almost all imported automotive components come from China. There are 11 Chinese vehicle models assembled in Vietnam, including Dongfeng, Qingqi, Great Wall, Lifan, Jinbei, Beiqi Foton, and K City Automobile. In northern and southwestern Vietnam, there are 25 automobile sales agents representing nine Chinese car brands, mainly trucks with load capacities from 700 kilograms to 2.5 tons and medium-sized passenger vehicles seating 8 to 29 people.

There are about 200 automobile component manufacturers in Vietnam, mainly small and mediumsized enterprises. The government set localization targets of 40% by 2005 and 60% by 2010, but as of the end of 2024, the localization rate for automotive components was only 34.8%. Vietnam’s automotive supply chain is incomplete across upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors. Precision machinery and manufacturing technologies are still lacking. Even international joint ventures find that up to 70.5% of passenger cars, large passenger vehicles, or buses produced domestically still rely on imported components.

International leading manufacturers have deployed in Vietnam’s industry supply chains producing automotive parts. Examples include Japan’s Denso, GS (battery), Sanyo, Yokohama, and South Korea’s Kymbo, mainly manufacturing plastic and rubber components, connector parts, screws, throttle pedals, and other metal mechanical parts. Vietnam’s automobile and component industry development faces several key challenges:

(1) Insufficient industrial basic research capabilities. Related industries such as metallurgy, materials, electronics, chemicals, and machinery are underdeveloped. Most production focuses on rubber/plastic parts, body sheet metal, and tires, while critical key components like engine assemblies, manual and automatic transmissions (including gear sets), and brake servo systems still depend on imports.

(2) General lack of high-level technical personnel and weak R&D and design capabilities.

(3) Deficient after-sales service, market research, information gathering abilities, and relatively incomplete transportation infrastructure compared to other ASEAN countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, or Indonesia.

Vietnam’s automobile and component industries are exploring development strategies. In recent years, relying on advantages such as cheap labor and demographic dividends, Vietnam has actively expanded exports of some automotive components. However, due to stagnant domestic demand, the automobile and related components industry has struggled to grow smoothly. Recently, with the rise of ASEAN regional economies, Vietnam is viewed as a base to manufacture and export to ASEAN countries and Japan. The number of related automotive component manufacturers has increased noticeably, although a large proportion of them mainly produce low value-added plastic components.

Local Vietnamese automobile component manufacturers can only produce some simple parts such as rearview mirrors, car seats, and batteries, which have low added value and mostly do not reach economic scale. Due to a more developed local motorcycle industry and larger market size, many manufacturers focus primarily on motorcycle components with automotive parts as a secondary focus. Under these conditions, critical key components are mostly imported. The increase in import tariffs has caused vehicle prices to remain high.

Impact of Reciprocal Tariffs on Vietnam’s Automobile Industry

On July 2, 2025, the U.S. and Vietnam announced in Washington, D.C., the conclusion of the "U.S.-Vietnam Tariff Agreement," which ended fears of a 46% reciprocal tariff and officially set a new milestone for the global supply chain landscape after 2025. Previously, Vietnam leveraged the "China+1" advantage to become the leading destination for industry transfers in electronics, garments, motor vehicles, motorcycles, and bicycles. The 20% tariff and stricter 40% transshipment provisions will change business models. Under the U.S.-Vietnam reciprocal tariff agreement, goods exported from Vietnam to the U.S. will be subject to a 20% tariff, while transshipment goods face a 40% tariff. The agreement’s impact on Vietnam’s automobile industry must consider both tariff adjustments and market openness.

Effects of Reciprocal Tariffs on the Automobile Industry:

(1) Tariff Reduction:

Goods exported from Vietnam to the U.S. previously faced tariffs as high as 46%, now reduced to 20%. This benefits Vietnam’s automobile and parts exports, especially for laborintensive conventional industries like textiles, footwear, and components, where Vietnam is an important production base.

(2) Increased Tariff on Transshipment Goods:

Tariffs on complete vehicles, parts, and semi-finished products transshipped through Vietnam will rise to 40%. This may affect countries relying on Vietnam for transshipment and could encourage Vietnam to develop more local industries to reduce dependence on transshipment.

(3) Market Opening:

The agreement also mentioned Vietnam will further open its market, meaning more U.S. automobiles and related products will enter Vietnam easily. This presents both challenges and opportunities for Vietnam’s automobile and parts industries.

(4) Challenges and Opportunities for Vietnam’s Automobile Industry:

Easier entry of U.S. vehicles and parts due to increased competition, tariff reductions and market opening will pressure domestic automobile brands. To compete with imported brands, Vietnam’s vehicle and parts industries need to adjust strategies and accelerate technological upgrades to improve product quality and competitiveness. Market openness and competitive pressure will foster accelerated transformation toward high-end and smart automotive development, introduce advanced technologies, and support overall improvement of Vietnam’s automobile industry strength.

Vietnam’s Measures to Prevent Product Origin Washing

The U.S. and China are Vietnam’s largest and second-largest export destinations respectively. Vietnam has traditionally maintained equidistant diplomacy, but to escape the pressure of the U.S. imposing a 46% tariff and to shed the label of “origin washing” on Chinese goods, Vietnam aims to negotiate a reduction of reciprocal tariffs to 22–28%. To this end, Vietnam is preparing to crack down on "transshipment abuses" and strengthen oversight of sensitive products exported from China to the U.S. through Vietnam.

Many multinational companies adopt a "China +1" strategy by setting up factories in Vietnam to reduce over-reliance on China. Many goods exported from Vietnam to the U.S. contain Chinese components, and Chinese companies also manufacture in Vietnam for export to the U.S. This has led to criticism from the U.S. that China and Vietnam are abusing transshipment trade—sending goods to Vietnam for processing, relabeling, and re-exporting to avoid high tariffs in the country of origin. Some Chinese products briefly stay at Vietnamese ports, receive a “Made in Vietnam” certification, and are then shipped to the U.S.

To avoid high U.S. tariffs, Vietnam’s Ministry of Trade issued an order to strictly combat illegal transshipment to the U.S. and other trade partners and origin washing of goods. According to a Reuters document, this order took effect on April 15. The new Vietnamese legislation introduces stricter inspection procedures, including enhanced on-site audits and increased scrutiny in issuing Certificates of Origin to prevent loopholes exploited by officials or manufacturers, though specific penalties have not yet been listed.

Known goods frequently used by Chinese manufacturers for origin washing in the U.S. market include wooden furniture, plywood, mechanical components, bicycles, batteries, wireless earphones, and other electronic products. The U.S. Department of Commerce report lists multiple fraudulent methods, such as forging documents, obtaining Vietnamese Certificates of Origin fraudulently, or moving counterfeit goods overland to Vietnam for container shipments and resale. The preliminary U.S.-Vietnam agreement lacks a clear definition of "illegal transshipment." Without explicit wording, the 40% tariff’s discretion could limit Vietnam’s trade development. The U.S. urges Vietnam to reduce dependence on Chinese imported components, especially in electronics, including automotive electronic parts.

The U.S. pressure through tariff negotiations to curb China’s use of “origin washing” has shown initial effects. During the reciprocal tariff postponement, many countries launched new negotiation rounds with the U.S., prompting Vietnam and Cambodia to express their cooperation in preventing transshipment fraud. Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade issued orders combatting fraudulent transshipment of goods to the U.S. and other trade partners. Although the directive does not specify source countries, in 2024 Vietnam imported nearly 40.3% of its goods from China, and the U.S. has criticized China’s use of Vietnam as a transshipment hub to bypass tariffs. The order requires strengthened inspection and verification of the origin of imported goods, including raw materials used for production and export, implementing stricter factory inspection processes, and supervising the issuance of “Made in Vietnam” labels.

Vietnam’s Government Measures to Prevent Origin Washing:

1. Strengthen Management of Certificates of Origin

Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade requires the Import-Export Department and the General Department of Customs to strictly review the source of imported raw materials, especially those used in export manufacturing, to ensure compliance with origin regulations. Enterprises with abnormal increases in certificate of origin applications will be subject to focused monitoring.

2. Amend Origin-Related Laws and Regulations

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has instructed legal departments and the Import-Export Bureau to review and revise current origin-related legal documents to adapt to the complexity of current international trade and to maintain the reputation of Vietnamese goods in the international market.

3. Strengthen Customs Cooperation with the U.S.

Vietnam’s General Department of Customs is enhancing cooperation with U.S. Customs to implement the Container Security Initiative (CSI). This includes joint scanning of goods exported to the U.S. at key ports and promoting agreements on cargo declaration to prevent origin washing.

4. Strict Investigation of Suspicious Enterprises and Goods

Vietnam’s government has established a list of enterprises suspected of origin fraud and illegal transshipment. These enterprises will face strict monitoring, especially regarding imported raw materials with unclear sources, to protect domestic industries.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade plans to upgrade the electronic certificate of origin system (eCoSys) to improve the efficiency and transparency of issuing certificates of origin and reduce administrative burdens on enterprises.

Opportunities for Taiwanese Companies to Invest in Vietnam

Vietnam’s main trade partners include China, the U.S., South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. The U.S. is Vietnam’s largest export destination, while China is Vietnam’s largest import source. Trade relations between Vietnam and Taiwan are also significant, with Taiwan ranking as Vietnam’s fifth-largest trade partner. Vietnam’s exports to Taiwan mainly consist of electronic components, while Taiwan primarily exports machinery equipment, textiles, and other products to Vietnam, and is Vietnam’s third-largest import source.

Vietnam has fewer than one million vehicles on the road, and its domestic automobile market is small. The export value of the automobile industry (including complete vehicles and parts) exceeds domestic sales, making Vietnam an export-oriented country. Vietnam’s economic growth rates have remained between 6.5% to 7.0% in recent years,

and it is expected that purchasing power will rise rapidly in the future, leading to a leap in demand for complete vehicles and automotive components. Following government policies encouraging higher localization rates in automobile production, companies investing in Vietnam may benefit from related investment or tax incentives to respond to the growing demand for automotive components.

Vietnam is a member of ASEAN and has signed free trade agreements with most countries. Vehicles and parts exported to ASEAN countries enjoy zero tariffs, resulting in cost advantages. As advanced automobile markets in Europe, the U.S., and Japan approach saturation with slowing demand growth, emerging ASEAN countries are expected to become the world’s fourth-largest automotive market. Using Vietnam as a second production base for Taiwanese enterprises,

the demand and market potential for automotive components are promising. Taiwan has about a dozen automobile and motorcycle parts manufacturers investing in Vietnam, mostly smallscale, primarily producing motorcycle components with automotive parts as a secondary focus. Vietnam’s population dividend and lower wages compared to China give it a competitive labor cost advantage. Taiwan’s automotive industry has high precision in stamping and fastener manufacturing, and its precision manufacturing technology complements Vietnam’s strengths. Automotive components like electrical systems, brake system parts, aluminum alloy wheels, wiring harnesses, brake pads, and lighting are important worldwide and could fill gaps in Vietnam’s automotive parts supply chain. It is recommended that Taiwanese companies use the Vietnamese market as a springboard to develop international business opportunities.

5. Promote Digitization and Transparency
