[Edaily Reporter Kim Hyung-il ] HK CO., LTD.(044780)announced on the 17th that it will participate in the “Taiwan Sheet Metal Laser Application Expo 2026 (TSMLA)” taking place in Taichung, Taiwan.

The exhibition will be held in Taichung, Taiwan, starting on the 18th. Through this local exhibition, HK CO., LTD. plans to expand its engagement with Taiwanese customers and secure new business partners among various manufacturers, including semiconductor-related companies.

Previously, HK CO., LTD. entered the global semiconductor foundry supply chain by supplying laser processing machines to three Tier 1 vendors of TSMC in Taiwan. With its participation in this year’s TSMLA, the company intends to strengthen its position within the TSMC supply chain based on its existing supply references and pursue the acquisition of additional clients in Taiwan.

TSMLA is a specialized exhibition for sheet metal and laser processing hosted by the Taiwan Laser & Sheet Metal Development Association. This year’s event centers on four themes: laser cutting, sheet metal processing, automation equipment, and smart manufacturing. It covers a wide range of fields—from laser cutting and welding equipment to sheet metal forming, robot-based automation, and integrated smart factory solutions—and supports technological exchange and supply chain collaboration among related companies.

HK CO., LTD.’s laser processing machines serve as “mother machines” that process the metal materials and components required for various industrial machinery and equipment. They are utilized as the manufacturing foundation for a wide range of Chonbang industries, including semiconductor equipment, electric vehicles, aerospace, electronics, and precision machinery.

Recently, the metal processing industry has been advancing with a focus on high-precision, high-efficiency processing, energy conservation, and the establishment of flexible production systems. In line with these changes, HK CO., LTD. plans to promote the versatility of its equipment and strengthen sales activities to meet industry-specific processing demands.

At this exhibition, the company will focus on promoting its air-cooled welding machines while also seeking new clients for its existing laser cutting equipment. The strategy is to leverage the customer base established through its cutting equipment to expand its product portfolio into the welding sector and secure additional business opportunities in the Taiwanese market.

HK CO., LTD. stated, “Taiwan, home to TSMC, is one of the key markets we are targeting in Asia, along with Japan,” adding, “Through our participation in this exhibition, we plan to expand our pool of potential customers and strengthen our local network.” The official continued, “In addition to securing new clients for our existing cutting equipment, we will also conduct demonstrations and intensive promotional activities for our air-cooled welding machines,” adding, “We will simultaneously pursue business expansion by broadening our product portfolio from cutting to welding.”
