Industrade Co.

What Industrade Co. does

Industrade Co. (翹慧事業股份有限公司) is a privately held Taiwan-based technical distributor founded in 1988 and headquartered in New Taipei City (Tamsui District). The company distributes three categories of international industrial brands across Taiwan and Southeast Asia: (1) power semiconductors — IGBT modules, MOSFETs, SiC and Si modules, diodes, thyristors, and capacitors from ABB (Switzerland), Littelfuse/IXYS, Proton-Electrotex (Russia), Itelcond (Italy), Petercem (France), Powersem (Germany), and Stopcircuit (France); (2) power electronics simulation and prototyping software — Plexim's PLECS suite (Standalone, Blockset, Coder, PIL, Web-Based Simulation) and PLECS RT Box real-time HIL hardware, plus Imperix Boombox controllers; and (3) high-temperature industrial furnaces and kilns from Nabertherm (Germany) covering laboratory, foundry, dental, glass, additive manufacturing, advanced materials, and arts/crafts applications. The company serves Taiwan-based power electronics manufacturers (Delta, Ya Li), top research universities (NTU, NTHU, NCKU, NTUST, NTUT), EPFL in Switzerland, and Southeast Asian customers via its Singapore subsidiary Infomatic.

The business model is direct-to-customer technical distribution with quotation-based pricing — no public price lists are published, and customers contact the company via phone (+886-2-2809-1251), email, LINE@, or website inquiry forms. Revenue is generated through hardware resale of components and Nabertherm furnaces, and through licensing/royalty distribution of PLECS software including 90-day free trial licenses. Go-to-market combines a bilingual website, an active Facebook presence, regular PLECS webinars co-organized with Plexim, and sustained participation in major industry exhibitions (PCIM Germany 2011, PCIM Shanghai 2016, IEEE-VPPC 2019 Vietnam, Kaohsiung Industrial Automation Exhibition 2020, Taiwan Power Electronics Conferences). The company is small (1–10 employees) with no disclosed external funding and operates as an authorized distributor for each principal brand, performing technical consultation, product selection support, and after-sales service in the local language.
