1962 the former Yongtai chemical company was reorganized to establish Hetai co., ltd. and the activated carbon division was established. Hetai activated carbon has good quality and reasonable price, and its sales volume continues to double. It not only reduced the cost of food processing industry in Taiwan Province Province, but also improved the quality of processed food, which contributed a lot to the development of food processing industry in Taiwan Province Province.
1966 began to explore the overseas market of activated carbon. Hetai is the earliest activated carbon manufacturer in China to explore overseas markets, with footprints all over Southeast Asia. Initially opened Thailand to serve local manufacturers. Later, it gradually opened markets such as Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines, and became the largest activated carbon factory in Southeast Asia.
1967 The original Xinzhuang workshop was not enough, so it was moved to the forest factory and the production process was re-planned, which greatly improved the production efficiency. At the same time, we are committed to the research and development of activated carbon, and will continue to develop high-quality activated carbon in the future to meet the needs of different industries and different customers.
197 1 Hetai began to explore the European market and enter the Italian, German and Spanish markets to provide purification services for wine, whisky, brandy and other alcoholic products.
1972 Hetai successfully developed TPR thermoplastic rubber materials exclusively, and began the diversified development of enterprise groups; In the same year, the Shoe Material Division was established, and the brand of "EMP" sole base material was founded, which made the shoe industry have a revolutionary process improvement, and then changed the market structure of the shoe industry, with the highest monthly output exceeding one million pairs.
Jiuru Trading Company was established in 198 1. In the early days, it mainly exported soles, uppers and lenses. Later, he successfully developed and designed high-quality and functional safety glasses and successfully entered the safety glasses market. In the same year, Rushan Optics was established. At first, we mainly produced door mirrors, magnifying glasses and telescope lenses.
1983 Rushan optics successfully developed spherical reading glasses and successfully entered the reading glasses industry with high efficiency and low cost. Because of good quality and low price, the sales volume is as high as the first in the world.
1985 Hetai set up a plastics division to produce shoe materials and high-grade SBS, SEBS and other application materials. In the coming year, we signed a contract with Shell Company of the United States to become the only manufacturer in Asia that uses KRATON G to produce thermoplastic elastomers, and our own brand "EMPILON" was promoted in Taiwan Province Province, Chinese mainland and Southeast Asia.
1989 a fire broke out in Zhongli factory, and all the plants and equipment caught fire. After such a heavy loss, Hetai was not crushed. But under the leadership of the chairman of the board, it inspired the fighting spirit and morale of all the staff, played the spirit of unity and centripetal force, rebuilt the factory, resumed production and completed the impossible task in just three months.
1990 Rushan optics successfully developed acrylic aspheric ultra-thin reading glasses; In the same year, we entered the international market with "Asli" brand lenses.
199 1 Rushan optics has successfully developed lenses for safety glasses made of PC and successfully entered the safety glasses market.
1992 Hetai helped Jiangxi Xingangshan Carbon Factory to produce new charcoal, and the finished product won the first silver prize in the activated carbon decolorization competition organized by the Ministry of Commerce of the mainland.
1997 the group set up a comprehensive management office, which consists of a comprehensive affairs office, an information office, an accounting office, a financial office, a planning office, a legal office, a human resources office and an audit office, so as to provide all-round services for the enterprise group in a scientific and humanized way.
1999 The headquarters of Hetai Group moved from the former site of Renai Road to the new site of Edinburgh Science and Technology Building in Neihu.
In 2000, Hetai established the Management Reform Committee. Change and rebuild organizations to cope with changes in the environment. In the same year, the single material business department ended. Over the past 28 years, the sole materials division has not only laid a good foundation for the development of the domestic shoe-making industry, but also contributed a lot to the diversified development of the group.
In 2002, it was awarded "Outstanding Innovative Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, R&D Performance" by Taoyuan County Industry Association in 199 1 year.
In 2003, we acquired Grating Technology Company, engaged in mold grinding and development of optical lenses.
In 2005, the newly developed medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer of Hetai Elastomer Business Department passed the biocompatibility verification of ISO 10993.
Taiwan Province Hetai Group currently has six divisions: Elastomer Division, Rushan Optics Division, Jiuru Optics Division, Activated Carbon Division, Peixin Technology Division and Integrated Management Division.
According to the introduction of Elastomer Division, Hetai succeeded in independently developing and producing TPR sole materials in 1972, and it is still widely used today. Over the years, Taiwan Province Province has become the world's export footwear kingdom, and Hetai's research and development achievements have contributed greatly. Subsequently, in order to meet the rapidly growing international market and create more general application materials than TPR, 1986, we signed a contract with Shell Chemical Company of the United States to supply a synthetic raw material called Kraton G, becoming the third company in Asia to apply this raw material to the production of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). Using this raw material to produce high-performance thermoplastic elastomer, we created our own brand "EMPILON" and won the 13th "Golden Signboard Manufacturer Award", which established Hetai's leading position in the field of thermoplastic rubber production! In order to maintain perfect quality, Hetai continues to research and develop materials, and seeks to establish cooperation agreements with manufacturers all over the world to become a fabless manufacturer in Taiwan Province Province. In the future, the headquarters of Taiwan Province Province can be 100% concentrated in R&D, and the production can be entrusted to partners all over the world.
EMPILON is a very environmentally friendly product, which is suitable for many industries. For many years, many non-governmental organizations and non-profit organizations have been advocating pollution-free products.
EMPILON is a synthetic elastomer that combines the characteristics of vulcanized rubber and traditional thermoplastics. It is different from ordinary traditional heat-set rubber and not ordinary plastic. Compared with traditional rubber processing, it simplifies the steps, does not need batching and vulcanization, and can also use common plastic processing methods, such as injection, extrusion and blow molding; The waste can be recycled 100%, which greatly reduces the processing cost of products, and becomes a new material to replace traditional rubber and the latest environmental protection material.
EMPILON's product features are good weather resistance, high transparency, flexibility and ductility, medical food hygiene (in line with FDA and transparency) and good electrical characteristics. Because of its unique advantages, it is widely used, such as medical equipment, sporting goods, automobile parts, wires and cables, as well as water pipe fillers, plastic pipe joints, general hoses and so on.
Empyron can also cooperate with various industries to develop special formulations of Empyron to meet the needs of their products and replace plastic and rubber raw materials in other industries.
In order to maintain perfect quality and leading position, in recent years, in a series of re-transformation actions, the research, reform and innovation of equipment and technology and the overall environment have taken on a new look, which not only improved morale, but also created profits and obtained ISO9002 certification. In particular, the implementation of total quality management (TQM), to ensure that quality will always reach its peak!
