Walsin Lihwa 2025 ESG Supplier Conference: Link To Empower, Create The Future

Taipei, October 2 – Walsin Lihwa Corporation (hereafter referred to as “Walsin”) held its annual Supplier Conference today, themed “Link To Empower, Create The Future.” The event gathered over hundred supplier partners, along with experts and scholars, to explore sustainable strategies and industry opportunities amidst global economic changes.

The conference featured three main agendas: “Walsin Business Outlook” “Sustainable Business Development,” and “Opportunities in Offshore Wind Power Supply Chain and Trends in Sustainable Energy Development.” These sessions, presented by both Walsin teams and external experts, aimed to share industry insights and strategic plans, helping suppliers navigate market trends and identify collaboration opportunities.

In recent years, Walsin has actively expanded its global presence, deepening its stainless-steel business in Europe and Southeast Asia while leveraging vertical integration synergies. The company has focused on high-end material markets. Furthermore, Walsin has partnered with Danish global cable maker giant, NKT, to build Taiwan’s only subsea cable production factory in Kaohsiung. The facility is expected to be completed and enter its trial phase by the end of this year, aligning with the government’s offshore wind power industry plans to enhance the resilience of local green energy supply chain.

“In the context of rapidly shifting global trade dynamics, regionalization of industries, and accelerated supply chain restructuring, we are witnessing a critical moment in the reorganization of global trade order,” said Chairman Mr. Chiao in his opening remarks. “In recent years, Walsin Lihwa has been actively expanding its footprint in Europe and venturing into new markets in the energy sector. Our steady growth amid a challenging international environment relies not only on the long-term support and joint efforts of our supplier partners, but also on our shared commitment to building a comprehensive industrial ecosystem. By exploring new business frontiers together, we are creating new industrial opportunities and enhancing the overall value of the ecosystem.” He expressed his gratitude to all partners for their active involvement in technological innovation, quality management, and sustainability practices, and emphasized the company’s commitment to working together with suppliers to “link” as the foundation and “empower” as an engine to achieve the goal of “co-creating the future.”

To recognize outstanding contributions of suppliers in sustainable development, the conference awarded “Decarbonization Excellence Partner Award,” “Sustainability Contribution Award,” and “Excellent Performance Awards.” to acknowledge exceptional performance in carbon reduction, innovation, and quality management. Award recipients also shared their governance experiences and practical insights, demonstrating trust and collaboration among supply chain partners.

Additionally, Walsin announced that its e-procurement platform, “Walsin Procurement Portal,” will officially launch in January 2026. The platform will offer a safer, more convenient, and transparent trading environment, promoting a fair and open competitive mechanism. Looking ahead, Walsin will continue to strengthen cooperation with its suppliers, enhance social responsibility management, and jointly create sustainable value through honest procurement and a resilient supply chain.

Walsin Launches SMP Expansion for Aerospace and Energy with UK Government Backing

Walsin Lihwa Corporation (“Walsin”) held a launch ceremony on July 17 at its UK subsidiary, Special Melted Products (“SMP”), marking the start of its previously announced facility expansion project. Attended by senior UK government officials, the event highlights Walsin’s commitment to scaling premium nickel superalloy production and strengthening its position in mission-critical aerospace and energy applications.

The project will double SMP’s melting and remelting capacity with new VIM, VAR, ESR systems, and introduce a forging press line, positioning SMP among the few fully integrated nickel superalloys producers globally. Once completed, the upgraded facilities will focus on supplying specialty steel and nickel parts for aerospace engines and next-generation energy systems, reinforcing SMP’s role as a critical supplier in advanced manufacturing.

“This investment marks a significant milestone in SMP’s development and underscores Walsin’s firm determination for global expansion strategy,” said Chairman of Walsin Lihwa, Yu-Lon Chiao. “Looking ahead, we plan to establish an R&D center in the UK to further strengthen our capabilities in materials and digital technology innovation, bolstering our competitive edge in premium markets.”

The initiative has received recognition and policy support from the UK government, reflecting confidence in SMP’s technical capabilities and long-term potential. Minister for Investment Baroness Gustafsson CBE remarked during the visit: “This investment is a major vote of confidence in Sheffield’s world-class manufacturing sector and couldn’t match our ambitions better [in aiding the UK’s aspirations in aerospace, steel, and nuclear as set out in the modern Industrial Strategy].”

President of UK Steel, Gareth Stace, added: “The substantial investment that SMP is making in expanding its capability and capacity is tremendous news for local people, and UK plc.  This is sign of trust in British steelmaking and manufacturing, pushing forward valuable investment plans and establishing skilled careers. SMP plans mean we are onshoring supply chains for industry giants like Rolls Royce, meaning investment goes directly back into UK jobs and the economy.”
