Smart Green Energy Innovations: A New Era for CHMER
In celebration of its 50th anniversary, CHMER has been honored with the highest accolade at the 33rd Taiwan Excellence Gold Award in 2025, thanks to the innovative UA432L - Green and Compact Linear Motor Drive Wire Cut EDM. Additionally, the GV5043L - High Precision Linear Motor Drive Wire Cut EDM has won the Taiwan Excellence Award, demonstrating the dual achievements of both machines. These state-of-the-art solutions meet the demands of smart manufacturing, green sustainability, and high-precision machining, showcasing CHMER's outstanding capability in green manufacturing.
Challenges in the Machine Tool Industry
The Taiwanese machine tool industry has recently faced multiple challenges, including the intensifying U.S.-China trade tensions, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and ongoing instability in the Middle East, which have collectively heightened global economic uncertainty. Meanwhile, the depreciation of the Japanese yen has significantly boosted the price competitiveness of Japanese machine tools in the international market. Furthermore, China’s aggressive low-price strategy continues to disrupt the global competitive landscape, imposing greater challenges and pressures on Taiwanese manufacturers.
Smart and Green Strategy: Navigating Uncertainty
CHMER has adopted a dual-track strategy of smart technology and green energy to continuously enhance the competitiveness of Taiwanese machine tools, aiming to break through fierce competition and pioneer a new path forward.
As the first Wire Cut EDM manufacturer in Taiwan to receive the ISO14955 Green Machine Tool certification, CHMER’s award-winning UA432L - Green and Compact Linear Motor Drive Wire Cut EDM is also the first of its kind in Taiwan to receive the Green Machine Tool Energy-Saving Gold Label. General Manager Wang Chen-Hung of CHMER stated, "CHMER actively seeks innovative green manufacturing solutions beyond traditional machining. The recognition of both the UA432L and GV5043L underscores our relentless pursuit of intelligent machinery and green machine tools. Through innovation, we aim to help customers enhance precision machining and production efficiency while effectively addressing global net-zero carbon emission challenges."
