TSUNG HSING FOOD MACHINERY CO., LTD. (TSHS) is a Taiwan-based industrial food processing equipment manufacturer founded in 1965 and headquartered in Kaohsiung. The company designs and produces continuous frying machines (FRYIN series), industrial multi-layer drying systems, seasoning equipment, and integrated turnkey production lines for snack food manufacturers globally. Its core technological differentiation is an exclusive patented heating system with patents registered in Taiwan, China, Germany, and the United States, complemented by a microwave hybrid drying technology co-developed with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) that reduces drying time by approximately 50% compared to traditional hot air drying. TSHS has installed more than 500 production lines across 65 countries and serves the top 10 snack food companies in multiple countries, along with central kitchens, industrial drying applications in food/pharma/chemical sectors, and Japanese equipment manufacturers as OEM partners.

The company operates a direct enterprise sales model with customized quote-based pricing, supplemented by an online store for smaller equipment (FRYIN-201) and a regional branch in Samut Sakhon, Thailand. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time equipment sales of customized hardware, recurring after-sales service contracts, and OEM/ODM manufacturing services for Japanese partners. Distribution combines direct field sales, international trade exhibitions (FOOMA JAPAN, FOODTECH TAIPEI), a multilingual 15+ language website, and technical content marketing. The company is privately held, founder/family-managed, with no public listing, no disclosed external funding rounds, and ISO 9001 (2012) and CE (2024-2029) certifications supporting its multinational enterprise customer base. Strategic positioning has shifted from pure OEM contract manufacturing to a branded solutions provider since 2015, with an intelligent automation roadmap launched in 2020.
