Cypress : Building a Global Flagship Platform for Hand Tools

2025.11.17 03:00 – Commercial Times | Reporter Huang, Chun-Jung

Originating as a blade-processing manufacturer, Cypress Industrial leveraged more than 20 years of accumulated expertise and R&D capabilities to officially enter the scissor-manufacturing field in 2000. The company offers high-quality scissors, electrician shears, and multi-function utility cutters, supported by OEM and ODM production. Over the years, Cypress has built a solid manufacturing foundation and maintained a strong presence in both domestic and international markets.

After joining the Jiadeng Group, Cypress Industrial embraced new opportunities for transformation. The company is proactively advancing vertical integration across industries, introducing process control and quality-management strengths from the semiconductor sector into the hand-tool field. This initiative aims to build an internationally competitive “precision hand-tool industry landscape” and to elevate Taiwan’s hand-tool industry toward higher added value—ultimately establishing a global hand-tool flagship platform.

Jiadeng Group Chairman Chiu Ming-Chien noted that the group, rooted in semiconductor carrier systems and mold-design manufacturing, has long specialized in precision machining, accumulating strong technical expertise and talent. As manufacturing technologies continue to advance, the company has successfully expanded into semiconductor and composite-material fields, all of which require extremely high levels of process precision and quality control.

According to Chiu, although hand tools are traditionally considered a mature industry, they fundamentally rely on precision manufacturing, reliable quality, and durability—traits that closely align with Jiadeng’s manufacturing DNA. Entering the hand-tool sector is not a sudden leap, he emphasized, but a strategic extension of existing technologies and management foundations. By introducing semiconductor-grade rigor into traditional tool manufacturing, the company aims to create products that are not only functional but also meet professional-level precision and durability standards.
“We hope to make ‘Made in Taiwan’ a globally trusted symbol of quality.”

Cypress Industrial General Manager Lee Tsung-Yu stated that Cypress has long focused on OEM and ODM production, accumulating extensive contract-manufacturing experience. Going forward, the company will accelerate its brand-building and channel development to establish the image of “premium Taiwanese hand tools”—shifting from a behind-the-scenes OEM manufacturer to a recognizable professional brand. Brand development will span product design, packaging, marketing, and global market strategies, forming a dual-engine model of in-house branding + OEM manufacturing.

Lee added that Cypress is integrating semiconductor-grade inspection technologies into its production processes. For products such as scissors, wrenches, and precision tools, the company can now provide professional inspection reports and comprehensive quality data—an uncommon practice within the hand-tool industry. This level of transparency enhances customer trust and enables the company to break into high-end markets in Europe, the U.S., Japan, and South Korea.

Looking ahead, Lee said Cypress aims to build a complete ecosystem centered around Products, Brand, and Distribution. The company will not only strengthen its manufacturing capabilities but also drive product development toward systemized and modularized design—offering comprehensive tool solutions. Cypress will also seek strategic partners to secure key upstream, midstream, and downstream resources, integrating R&D, manufacturing, distribution, and digital marketing capabilities, ultimately upgrading from a tool supplier to an international brand offering professional solutions.

With the manufacturing strength of the Jiadeng Group behind it, Cypress Industrial aims to redefine the future of the hand-tool industry. By integrating technology, branding, and global distribution, the company is building a globally competitive Taiwanese flagship platform for hand tools. Through cross-industry innovation, Cypress hopes to create new value for Taiwanese hand tools in global markets and once again shine on the international stage.
