Impact of US-China Trade War on Taiwan's Machine Tool Market

The European Machine Tool Exhibition - EMO Hannover launched a three-day exhibition in Germany in September. Many of Taiwan's machine tool manufacturers actively participated in the exhibition and also observed German industrial manufacturing technology, precision, and durability. By participating in the EMO Hannover show, manufacturers are expected to open up international visibility and hope to get international orders.

In recent months, due to the U.S.-China trade war, it has brought a big impact on the machine tool industry. USA and China are the major export markets for most industries in Taiwan. Take Taiwan’s tool machinery industry as an example. Chine is the largest exporter of Taiwan Machinery. Under the volatility of the U.S.-China trade war, many manufacturers expect to transfer some markets to Europe or neighboring Southeast Asian markets, to achieve dispersion market risks.

At present, Taiwan's tool machinery industry is also actively investing in the development direction of smart machinery. It is expected that Taiwan's technology and brand will continue to enhance its international reputation. Expected the machine tool market can promote the vigorous development of Taiwan's economy.

Ensuring Safety and Efficiency in Can-Making Equipment for High-Corrosion, High-Pressure Applications
In industrial packaging—particularly for chemicals, paints, and coatings—three-piece metal cans must endure extreme conditions: aggressive chemical formulations, internal pressurization, and long-term storage stability. Unlike beverage or food-grade containers, these applications demand superior corrosion resistance, leak-proof sealing, and structural robustness. Meeting these requirements starts not with the can itself, but with the can-making equipment that produces it. Manufacturers like Shin-I Machinery Works Co., Ltd. are rising to this challenge, offering specialized machinery designed explicitly for non-food, high-performance packaging. This article explores the critical design and production considerations for industrial three-piece cans, outlines key equipment selection criteria, and highlights leading global suppliers—including Shin-I—serving this demanding sector.

U.S.–China Trade War and the Russia–Ukraine Conflict: Challenges and Adjustments in the Textile Raw Material Supply Chain
The textile industry has always been one of the most globalized sectors, with raw materials often crossing multiple borders before reaching the apparel market. However, in recent years, growing geopolitical uncertainties—most notably the U.S.–China trade war and the Russia–Ukraine conflict—have created unprecedented challenges for textile supply chains. Trade frictions between the U.S. and China have restricted exports of cotton and fabrics, forcing brands to reassess sourcing strategies. Meanwhile, the Russia–Ukraine war has driven up energy and chemical raw material prices, indirectly raising costs for synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon. Together, these factors are pushing the global textile industry to rethink supply chain resilience and its future trajectory.
