Established in 1990, TFA (Taiwan Fastener Association) grows by 10% annually. Its advisors and members together amount to 135 companies, and the growing speed sets a model for all industries and associations. On December 22 of 2013 it held the Chairman Hand Over Ceremony & 2^nd Member Assembly in Kangshang of Kaohsiung, inviting TFTA (Taiwan Fastener Trading Association) and TIFI (Taiwan Industrial Fastener Institute) to join this great event. Under the witness of all attendees, Chih-Lung Lu took the position as the 11^th chairman from Ming-Yuang Chang.

Chih-Lung Lu gave a speech titled “TFA Marks the 25^th Years of Development”. TFA has gone through a quarter of a century. Young at its age, it went through ups and downs and fought all the way to what it is now. It wouldn’t have achieved the scale today without the efforts and support of former chairmen and all members. The 25^th year symbolizes the transition to the new generation where gray-haired senior elites step off for the new blood to take the throne. Chih-Lung Lu stated that he would implement scheduled affairs, make the best out of budget expenditure, and arrange domestic and overseas factory tours for members.
