Jiang Chaorui, chairman of TPK
"Xiamen Government is like a fully automatic mechanism that responds to our needs without any delay", said Jiang Chaorui yesterday, chairman of TPK, humorously to laud the efficient services of Xiamen Government.
TPK is a leading manufacturer in the global touch control industry. The touch control module of the first iPhone was made by TPK and it turned a cell phone from "with keypad" into "no keypad". Jiang Chaorui founded TPK in Taiwan in 2003 and set up TPK at Xiamen Torch Development Park of High Technology Industrial Zone in 2004. So far, TPK has founded ten-plus subsidiaries; its workforce has expanded from just ten-plus employees to nearly 50,000 employees at the peak time; and its initially-leased 1,000 sqm workshops have been replaced by its self-constructed workshops in a total area of 1,300,000+ square meters. Today, Xiamen is the most important manufacturing base of TPK.
Jiang Chaorui attributed the rapid development of TPK to "good timing, good place and good people". "Good place" refers to a good place of investment. He was deeply impressed by Xiamen Municipal Government's "advance approval and simultaneous approval" and other practical services for TPK.
"Xiamen is only one strip of water away from Taiwan, Xiamen is both my origin and my place of luck. Taiwan has good technologies and managements and the Mainland has abundant resources and a large market. Cross-strait industrial cooperation brings us unlimited business opportunities. Xiamen is developing smoothly in all fields and people from all over the world are contributing their talents, and living a prosperous and contented life here. Therefore, I have full confidence in the development of Xiamen", said Jiang Chaorui emotionally.
As Jiang introduced, TPK had founded multiple factories in Xiamen. It has been aggressively developing SNW (silver nano-wire) technology, the main material of flexible display in recent years. He said he would try his best to recommend Xiamen and attract more Taiwanese enterprises to invest here, more young Taiwanese to work and start a business and attract more world-famous enterprises to settle down in Xiamen.
