YLM Group

What YLM Group does

YLM Group (legal entity YING HAN Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Taiwan-based industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1976 and headquartered in Tainan, with a public listing on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TPE:4562) and 251-500 employees. The company specializes in the design, manufacture, and global sale of CNC, NC, and conventional tube and pipe bending machines, with a product portfolio spanning all-electric and hybrid CNC benders (3-axis to 12-axis), semi-automatic NC benders, conventional manual benders, end-forming machines, cutting machines (circular saw and fiber laser), wire benders, busbar machines, 6-axis articulated robots, autonomous mobile robots, and integrated automation bending work cells. Technical differentiation rests on in-house developed intelligent CNC bending software, the i-bender patent granted in 2012, and a 60-engineer R&D team supporting capabilities such as cold bending of thin-wall tubes (wall thickness below 0.80 mm) across tube OD from 4 mm to 220 mm. The business operates a direct enterprise field-sales model with regional offices, a 24-hour global service hotline, and service coverage in more than 30 countries, complemented by participation in major international exhibitions including WIRE & TUBE Dusseldorf 2026, TMTS 2026, and TAIPEI TIMTOS 2025. Customers are primarily industrial manufacturers across transportation/automotive (including unnamed globally renowned OEMs since 2003), furniture, HVAC, shipbuilding/heavy industrial, and aerospace/agricultural machinery segments, served through quote-based, multi-year capital equipment contracts with an aftermarket services and spare-parts revenue layer.

Broad incumbents

• Bystronic: Swiss-based global supplier of laser cutting, bending, and tube processing systems. Broad incumbent competing against YLM in laser tube cutting and integrated tube processing cells, particularly in automotive and HVAC.
• Trumpf: Global leader in sheet metal and tube laser cutting, bending, and punching machinery. Broader incumbent whose tube laser and bending offerings overlap YLM's laser tube cutting and bending lines, but with vastly larger scale and broader portfolio.
• DMG Mori: Global machine tool manufacturer of CNC turning, milling, and machining centers. Broad incumbent relevant because YLM's subsidiary Hannsa Precision manufactures CNC lathes and machining centers competing in the same general machine tool market.

Direct peers

• Schwarze-Robitec: German specialist in CNC tube bending machines for automotive, shipbuilding, and boiler applications. Closest European direct peer to YLM in heavy-duty and large-OD tube bending, with comparable product positioning and OEM customer base.
• Crippa: Italian manufacturer of CNC tube bending and end-forming machines serving automotive, furniture, and HVAC OEMs. Direct peer in all-electric and hybrid CNC tube benders competing for similar enterprise customers.
• Unison Ltd: UK-based specialist in all-electric CNC tube bending machines with proprietary software. Direct competitor in high-precision, thin-wall tube bending for aerospace, automotive, and heat exchanger applications.
