Kang Yang International

What Kang Yang International does

Kang Yang International operates in North America as KYI USA, a subsidiary of Kang Yang Enterprises Co., Ltd., a Taiwanese plastic hardware manufacturer founded in 1987. The company manufactures plastic hardware components for electronic and industrial applications, offering more than 10,000 product types across 11 categories — including spacers, LED holders, cable management solutions, bushings, connector covers, screws, thermal hardware, and — added in 2024 — OSFP Module Protection Covers and M.2 Board Installation Solutions. Core technical capability centers on thermoplastic elastomer processing with configurable Shore Hardness and injection molding, including two-shot molding for integrated multi-material assemblies. Production is conducted across facilities in Taiwan, China, and Vietnam, with the Vietnam plant opened in 2024 as the largest in the network at approximately 18,600 m².

The company's commercial focus is B2B sales to electronics manufacturers, EMS/OEMs, and data communications equipment producers. North American customers are served from the Elk Grove Village, Illinois headquarters (established 2009) through direct sales and an authorized distributor/rep network that includes America II, Imtron, Omni Pro, Century Fasteners, Suntsu, World Micro, Agility, M3, Industrial Electronics, and Lake-View. European customers are served through a Netherlands subsidiary, with engagement reinforced by participation in trade shows including Electronica Munich (November 2024) and the Del Mar Electronics Show (May 2025, marking a Southern California push). The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and maintains RoHS and REACH compliance for regulated markets.

Revenue is generated via quote-based sales of catalog SKUs and custom-manufactured parts, supplemented by a competitor part-matching service that helps customers source replacement hardware. Pricing is transactional rather than subscription-based, with no disclosed recurring-revenue or platform-economics model. The business is privately held with no funding rounds disclosed; capital expenditure — including the 2024 Vietnam plant — appears funded through parent-company reinvestment and operating cash flow rather than external equity.
