Taiwan Chelic

What Taiwan Chelic does

Taiwan Chelic (台灣氣立), publicly listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange under ticker 4555, is a manufacturer of pneumatic and electric automation components founded in 1986 and headquartered in Taishan District, New Taipei City. The company designs and produces a broad industrial-automation portfolio organized into nine product categories: modular components, solenoid valves, cylinders, grippers (both pneumatic and electric), vacuum equipment, fittings, accessories, directional control modules, and chemical liquid valves. Recent additions include clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters (FN-V, FX Series), dual-sensing pressure/flow devices (FPF), electric actuator families (EDZ2, EHW2, EHQ2, EDF2, EMW2, EMQ2, ETB2, EQX2, RDQ2, LRS2, LRP2, EYC), and the energy-saving VKMT vacuum control unit. End markets include semiconductor fabrication, automotive manufacturing, smart manufacturing/Industry 4.0, food and pharmaceutical machinery, electronics, laser equipment, and printing machinery.

The company runs a sales-led, multi-geography operating model. Wholly-owned manufacturing subsidiaries operate in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Zhejiang (China), complemented by a sales subsidiary in Samut Prakan, Thailand; direct sales offices cover five Taiwan cities (Taishan HQ, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Taichung, Kaohsiung). Distribution blends direct enterprise sales with authorized resellers in regions without a company office. The portfolio rests on a substantial IP base — 98 patents in Taiwan, 90 in China, 7 in the US, 7 in Germany, and 11 in Japan, plus trademarks in 8 jurisdictions — and on certifications spanning ISO 9001, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 14064, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 45001, and IATF 16949. Product innovation has been externally validated by six consecutive Taiwan Excellence Awards from 2015 to 2020 (37 products selected cumulatively), with additional recognition in 2022, the 2025 GEEA Energy Efficiency Award, and three 2026 Taiwan Excellence Awards for the FN-V, FS, and VKMT series. The technical-support ecosystem includes a 2D/3D CAD download portal (PARTcommunity), an online training site, and multilingual documentation.

Taiwan Chelic generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of components, with pricing conducted on a quote basis through the company or authorized distributors rather than through published price lists. Reported cumulative Jan–May 2026 revenue was NT$727,275 thousand (year-over-year growth of 9.89%), implying a single-digit-billion-NTD annual run-rate. Ownership is concentrated among the founding family and related investment vehicles — Zhengxiong Investment (15.01%), founder-Chairman You Pingzheng (9.44%), Shangbo Investment (9.13%), Shangjia Investment (8.75%), Fuer Investment (7.95%), and shareholder Chen Yufeng (7.43%) — with a 7-member board (4 independent directors) re-elected in full at the May 29, 2025 AGM.
