HK to Participate in Taiwan's Leading Laser Industry Expo... Targeting Global Semiconductor Market Centered on TSMC

HK, a domestic specialist in laser processing machines, is strengthening its approach to the Taiwanese market. Leveraging its track record of supplying laser processing machines to first-tier vendors of TSMC, the company is now seeking to secure new customers, including local semiconductor companies.

On September 17, HK announced that it will participate in the ‘Taiwan Sheet Metal Laser Application Expo 2026 (TSMLA)’, which will be held in Taichung, Taiwan, starting from September 18.

Previously, HK supplied laser processing machines to three of TSMC’s first-tier vendors in Taiwan, thereby entering the global semiconductor foundry supply chain. At this exhibition, the company aims to expand connections with local customers based on these supply achievements, while seeking to secure additional clients across diverse manufacturing sectors, including semiconductor-related companies.

The TSMLA is a sheet metal and laser processing exhibition hosted by the Taiwan Laser Sheet Metal Development Association. This year, the event will focus on laser cutting, sheet metal processing, automation equipment, and smart manufacturing. Related technologies and equipment will be showcased, including laser cutting and welding machines, sheet metal forming solutions, robotic automation, and integrated smart factory solutions.

At this exhibition, HK plans to secure new clients for its laser cutting equipment and will also focus on promoting its air-cooled welding machines. The strategy is to leverage its established customer base from cutting equipment to expand its supply range into the welding sector.

Laser processing machines are so-called ‘mother machines’ used for processing metal materials and components in industrial machinery and equipment. They find use in various manufacturing sectors, including semiconductor equipment, electric vehicles, aerospace, electronics, and precision machinery.

An HK representative stated, “Taiwan, where TSMC is located, alongside Japan, is a market that our company is strategically targeting within Asia. Through our participation in this exhibition, we intend to broaden our pool of potential customers and strengthen our local network.”

The representative added, “Not only will we seek to secure additional customers for our existing cutting equipment, but we will also demonstrate and actively promote our air-cooled welding machines. We are also pursuing business expansion by extending our supply range from cutting to welding.”
