What Tex Year Industries does
Tex Year Industries Inc. (TPE:4720), headquartered in Wuku, Taiwan and founded in 1976, is a publicly listed specialty chemicals manufacturer that produces hot melt adhesives, laminators, and thermal binding machines. It is identified as Taiwan's first publicly listed hot melt adhesive manufacturer and employs between 501 and 1,000 people. The company operates a horizontal business model serving ten named end-markets — packaging (primary), electronics manufacturing, automotive, construction, furniture, DIY craft, food & beverage, e-commerce, consumer goods, and logistics — through thermoplastic adhesive products that bond substrates when heated and solidify on cooling.
The company's product portfolio spans conventional hot melt adhesives for industrial packaging and assembly use cases and a newly launched compostable/biodegradable hot melt adhesive line, the latter produced on Asia's first dedicated compostable hot melt adhesive production line established in July 2025. Manufacturing is dual-sited, with Taiwan as the heritage base and India as an expanding regional hub: a second plant in Mahad Industrial Area, Maharashtra commenced mass production in December 2025 under the 'Greater India Strategy,' increasing Tex Year's Indian adhesive capacity from 3,400 to 10,000 tons per year.
The revenue model is industrial B2B sales of formulated adhesive products, augmented by contract manufacturing services for industrial adhesives; specific pricing structures are not publicly disclosed. Revenue is reported in Taiwan dollars (TWD ~3.59B in 2025, ~3.68B in 2024, ~3.31B in 2023), with 2024 gross profit of TWD 876M and 2025 gross profit of TWD 828M indicating mid-20s gross margins. The business relies on regional manufacturing proximity and sustainability-certified formulations as its primary commercial levers rather than disclosed marketing channels or named customer logos.
