===============

1970               - Established in Tainan City, specializes in hydraulic machinery and injection molding        machines.

1982                      - Moved to the existing factory and concentrated in manufacturing reliable and precise plastic injection molding machines.

1989                         - Expanded the factory area to 10,000 sqm and improved the automation of the factory.

                                 - Set up an independent production line for plastic injection molding machines to increase productivity to meet market demands.

1993                      - Set up another factory in the Ho Shun Industrial Park, called TSONG CHERNG MACHINERY CO LTD and purchased a number of high precision processing machines to produce parts for high efficiency and high accuracy plastics injection molding machines.

1994                      - Purchased a large size Japanese CNC horizontal boring/milling machine, CNC machining center, CNC lathe and other equipment to further upgrade productivity and processing quality. Completely developed the whole series of hydraulic piston-type plastic injection molding machine.

1995                         - Developed the two mold platen clamping mechanism to reduce the size of the machine and simplify the lubricating system.

                                  - Developed the bi-metal barrel to increase resistance against wear and corrosion.

                                  - Developed the high temperature (above 450'C) and high pressure (above 3,000kg/cm2) injection system.

                                  - Developed super large plastic injection molding machine (clamping force over 4,000 tons) in Taiwan.

1997                          - Awarded the "Symbol of Excellence in Taiwan" prize.

                                  - Manufactured high speed, close loop plastic injection molding machine for producing high precision, high quality products.

2000                          - Purchased Japanese made extra heavy duty machining center and German-made large 3-dimensional coordinate measuring machine to upgrade quality of plastic injection molding machines.

                                  - Started development of fully electric operated machine, a high value-added machine to create greater profits for our customers.

2001                          - Research and development professional machines for BMC.
