During the bubble economy period of 90’s, enterprises over invested in equipment and caused crisis of cash flow then cut back by selling equipments to survive the difficult times. With my technical background, I started to integrate the huge amount of disposed under-developing equipment and manufacturing equipment by turning them into available and reusable resources.
I used the Know-How I learned from previous work on Photo sensor, Radio-active sensor of CT scan device, Si Wafer grinder, and Blue-LCD, to start the Plant selling business. I believe that reselling the second-hand equipment will have very high investment returns and based on this concept, I founded Hightec Systems Corporation in May 13, 1991.
During the starting days, cash trading was the majority term of the trade, and secure goods became very difficult. However, after one and half years, I had more capitals to operate the cash trade and started to set the core competence of the company as resell the second-hand equipment.
The domestic market in Japan growth was smooth and in 1997 we successfully sold whole system of STN LCD manufacturing equipment to Taiwan. This success caught my attention to focus on the big market of Taiwan’s LCD equipment. In January 2001 we establish the Taipei branch office and now we achieved our sales target. Even though our current business operation still focused on Know-How based second-hand equipment reselling and assembly, but maintenance service has became the trend by following the growth of LCD Color filter and STN LCD manufactures. In August 2005, the brand new equipment production facility, “Hightec Systems Korea”, has established in Korea as 100% subsidiary company. As result, the portfolio of our solutions became more completed and we are ready to expend our business plan based on Know-How and set a higher goal to achieve.
