The Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) will lead a trade delegation consisting of 14 companies to visit Australia and New Zealand from September 29 to October 8, 2014.

The Mission will hold trade meetings Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland where the visiting delegates will showcase their latest and most innovative products. Local manufacturers will have the opportunity to have one-on-one meetings with the Taiwanese supplier delegates.

Taiwan is often referred to as a "Fasteners Kingdom". The nation supplies to nearly 150 countries across the globe. Exports of fasteners last year reached US$3.86 billion. With such huge amount of fasteners, it is very likely that the fasteners used in our homes come from Taiwan.

Taiwan attributes its success to its high quality materials, skilled technical resource, long-term production experience, stable material supply and efficient manufacturing system.

The visiting Taiwanese fastener companies include Chite Enterprises, Ray Fu Enterprise, Boss Precision Works and Your Choice Fasteners & Tools.

These companies specialise in different areas of screw/fastener manufacturing, thus providing Australia and New Zealand companies a range of products (including stainless steel flat washers, drywall screws, blind rivets, bi-metal self-drilling screws, fasteners for automobiles, machinery, roofing screws, bolts, other types of washers, screws making machines, etc.) to choose from.

The dates and locations of the trade meetings are as follows:

Sydney
September 30, Four Season Hotel

Melbourne
October 2, Stamford Plaza Hotel

Auckland
October 6, Rendezvous Grand Hotel
