LEMAS

What LEMAS does

LEMAS, legally Lien Hsine Machinery Corporation, is a Taiwan-based manufacturer of sheet metal fabricating machinery founded in 1950 in Chia-yi, Taiwan. The company produces a focused product portfolio across three core categories: rolling machines (Initial Pinch Rolls, Double Pinch Rolls, Section Bending Rolls, and Small Forming Machines), folding machines (Hand Type and Hydraulic Type), and shearing machines (Hydraulic Type, Pneumatic Type, and Hydraulic Notchers). It also manufactures precision parts including bearing locknuts and machine tool spindle components. Technology is centered on hydraulic drive and control systems, PLC-based electric control, digital readouts for roll positioning, hardened steel tooling, and direct-drive designs using Sumitomo Cyclo gearless speed reducers. Notable engineering features include a dual-head hydraulic notcher, pinch gauge-controlled lower roll adjustment, and machines capable of bending up to 70mm plate thickness and rolling workpieces up to 6-7 meters long.

LEMAS operates two manufacturing facilities in Taiwan — the original headquarters factory at 63 Lin Sen East Road in Chia-yi and the Min Hsiung factory in Minxiong Township, Chiayi County, established in 1979 for mass part production. The company claims to hold 60% of the local Taiwan market for rolling machines and positions itself as the top rolling machine manufacturer in the country. Revenue is generated primarily through direct hardware sales of standard and special-purpose machinery, with pricing provided upon inquiry rather than publicly listed. Distribution combines a direct sales motion (website, phone, email) for domestic and Asian/Middle Eastern markets with exclusive distribution agents in North America, Australia, and Korea. Demand generation relies on a website, downloadable PDF catalogs, YouTube product videos, and trade show participation including TIMTOS 2025. The company serves sheet metal fabricators and job shops, heavy industrial manufacturers (pipe making, structural steel), and educational institutions.

The company is privately held with no disclosed external investment, no public listing, and a small headcount of 11-50 employees. It claims more than 200 units shipped globally per year (one source cites 1,200+ machines delivered annually, reflecting a discrepancy in scale commentary) and supplies customers across North America, Oceania, Asia, and the Middle East. Ownership structure, financial figures, and detailed customer concentration are not disclosed in the source data.
