"Buying pins? Look for Yung King!" This is the answer that many buyers often get when they want to buy pins from Taiwan. Founded more than a few decades ago in northern Taiwan to produce cotter pins, Yung King Industries Co., Ltd. has expanded its product line to include spring pins, hitch pin clips and dowel pins, and has become the largest and most representative pin manufacturer in the eyes of many buyers. Under the leadership of President Josh Chen, Yung King has continued to capture niche markets and has built its own kingdom of pins. Its annual sales volume has reached 2,000-2,500 tons.

Seemingly Simple but Not Simple Anti-loosening Technology

Cotter pins, spring pins, hitch pin clips, and dowel pins are Yung King’s four major products. Although they look simple, they play a key role in many anti-loosening applications. It mainly manufactures pins in stainless steel, iron, and brass, in sizes to meet the exact length specifications required by customers. The cotter pins are available in sizes up to 16mm and dowel pins are available in sizes up to 20mm or more. In spite of the competition from overseas counterparts offering lower prices, it continues to win orders from many customers in the U.S., Japan and Australia due to its higher quality, faster delivery and better packaging service.

Its cotter pins are used in a wide range of applications such as machines that vibrate, castle nuts for wheel rims, and long chains that require anti-loosening components. Compared to screws featuring more complicated fastening mechanism, Yung King's cotter pins are more convenient to use and can be replaced easily. Once it is inserted into the mating part and its tails are pulled open, the assembly is done! The simple operation can achieve the purpose of loosening prevention. In response to the growing market demand, it has also developed spring pins with slots and double-sided chamfered angles for easy installation into holes, and the flexible steel material can be directly clamped as a rotating shaft. It has even developed toothed spring pins featuring better fit. As for hitch pin clips, they will automatically open when inserted into the bolt hole and will not be easily pulled out after fixing, achieving a stable anti-loosening effect. In the part of dowel pins requiring high precision in O.D. tolerances, Yung King has also gained a foothold in the large-size dowel pin market through its excellent processing technology.

Upgrading Equipment and Aiming at Developing European Market Further

With two factories in Hsinchuang and Sanchong (New Taipei City), Yung King has a capacity of 200 tons per month. In order to reduce costs, improve quality, increase production capacity and diversify products to remain competitive internationally, it has completed the automation upgrade of its equipment at the end of last year, shortening the process and significantly reducing labor costs and waste output. In recent months, it has even purchased several multi-stroke multi-axis forming machines to enhance its customizing capabilities and meet customers' special product requirements.

“Under the principle of selling more at lower prices, we have accumulated a good reputation for our high quality products and services over the years," said President Chen. “Our main customers are importers from the U.S., Japan and Australia, which account for 40%, 20% and 20% of our sales volume respectively. We are looking forward to extending our reach to the European market, and we do not rule out the possibility of looking for agents in European countries to develop customers for us, so that more European customers can experience the quality and durability of pins from Taiwan. At the same time, the 3rd generation of the company has also started to work in the factory since this year. We hope to create a new atmosphere for the old factory through the new ideas and practices brought by the young people."
