What Porite Taiwan Co., Ltd. does

Porite Taiwan Co., Ltd., founded in 1968 and headquartered in Taiwan, is the largest operating subsidiary of Japan-based Porite Group, contributing an estimated 45% of group production. The company manufactures precision powder metallurgy (PM) components, with capabilities spanning conventional PM, high-density/high-performance PM, metal injection molding (MIM), sintered micro bearings, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) interconnect plates, metal foam, and complete gearbox sub-assemblies. Its asset base includes 54 continuous sintering furnaces, Asia's largest 1600-ton press used for SOFC interconnect plates, and a 100% CCD inspection line using deep-learning defect detection, with stated annual assembly volume on the order of 5 million sets.

The company serves global OEM customers on a direct enterprise basis with custom-engineered components. Named customers include Bloom Energy (SOFC interconnect plates, supplier since 2009), Bosch, Schaffler, Brose, Mitsuba, Nexteer, Daimler-Chrysler, Ford, and unspecified power-tool, robotics, data-center/AI infrastructure, and aerospace accounts. Qualifications include Daimler-Chrysler T1 supplier status, Ford Q1 certification (October 2023), Bosch Premium Supplier 2024, AS9100 (August 2021), IATF 16949, ISO 14001, and TISAX AL3 (April 2024). The business is also a four-time MPIF powder metallurgy grand prize winner and operates an India subsidiary established in 2015.

Revenue economics are anchored in unit-priced custom components and a growing mix of finished sub-assemblies; the company is actively transitioning (announced May 2026) from a parts maker to a total assembly solution provider, with concurrent capacity additions to grow SOFC interconnect plate output to 20 million pieces by 2027 and 30 million by 2028. FY2021 revenue was reported at NT$700 million (approximately US$22–23 million), against a stated headcount of 51 employees, with a 25-person dedicated production line referenced in company material.
