　　President of Forwell Precision Machinery Co., Ltd Hsiao Wen Long indicated that to develop a larger market domain, international division of labor is a major goal for his company. In 2003, production of Forwell’s 18,000 square meter facility in Ning Bo, China stood one third complete. Forwell is the first Taiwanese company in its field to set up production on the mainland.

　　 The relocation of production facilities offshore is becoming the trend in Taiwan. Initially, production will continue to happen in Taiwan to ensure that quality is up to par with international standards. Facilities on the mainland will serve first as distribution outlets and eventually, as sales continue to grow, take over production. President Hsiao projects that as production in China grows, the company’s efforts in R&D will be concentrated in Taiwan, realizing a very tangible evolution.

　　He goes on to say that the Ning Bo facility will be expanded in stages according to production loads, as well as the level of determination agents in the region express to strengthen their domain in the market. Seeing that China has already become one of the major manufacturing regions in the world, the automated systems Forwell provides are bound to be in huge demand throughout the industry. Without question, the decision to set up production in Ning Bo has already proved itself to be a strategically wise move.
