“The U.S. tariffs have of course impacted industries around the globe. Some regions are even more impacted than others. But Hiwin is strategically positioned in the world. We have a U.S. subsidiary in Chicago, that was created thirty years ago. So, our strategy (to counter tariffs) is to have our U.S. colleagues explore new clients to reduce the impacts on tariffs.”

“Regarding the recent U.S. tariffs, Chelic Group has factories in Taiwan, China and Thailand. We can adapt to our clients’ requests. They might ask to export from a country without geopolitical concerns, then we can export from a Southeast Asia factory. If they want lower costs our factories in China can also export. As for our Taiwan factories, they are more focused on semiconductor and high-end products, and we can also adapt to customer’s needs.”

14. SOUNDBITE (English), Michael Mayer-Rosa, Senior Director EMEA Industrial Automation BG:
“This was developed out of the needs from the European side we (in Europe have labour shortages, and pressure from the market to keep costs down. This can be done only with robotics. Robotics today is a little bit different to program. That’s why we have a special development done on our robot solutions here where you can do programming only with voice control. So, it means you tell the robot what it needs to do and he is writing the program by itself.”
