What Sunchain does

Sunchain (legal entity Sun Chain Trading Co., Ltd.) is a Taiwan-based manufacturer founded in 1975 that has built a 50-year specialization in furniture hardware and sliding systems, with industrial-grade drawer slides as its flagship product line. The core portfolio spans heavy-duty drawer slides rated up to 500kg, mechanical locking slides for vibration-prone environments, soft-close slides, pull-out storage solutions (larder units, corner carousels, wine racks, base cabinet pull-outs), handles and knobs including extruded aluminum and Zamac profile edge-pulls, the TetriRail modular wall storage system, and RV-specific hardware such as electric telescopic, pneumatic, and folding table legs. Manufacturing is anchored in proprietary roll forming and stamping processes supported by an MES smart manufacturing system with QR-code mold management and a golden-sample AOI/durability QC regimen; ISO 9001, REACH, and RoHS certifications underpin compliance for European industrial and OEM customers.

The business model is B2B direct OEM/ODM sales of custom-engineered hardware to industrial equipment manufacturers, commercial vehicle and automotive builders, kitchen and furniture manufacturers, rail transit and emergency vehicle suppliers, RV/caravan OEMs, and vending/ATM integrators. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the company explicitly accommodates low-volume, high-mix production without strict minimum order quantities, helping customers avoid secondary-processing and mold-modification costs. Geographically, R&D is centered in Taiwan (Taipei headquarters, two factories) while mass production has been diversified into Vietnam to serve global supply. The company remains founder-owned and privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no partnerships in the public record; revenue, headcount, and detailed financials are not disclosed.
