To address diverse food packaging needs, Shin-I collaborated with JK SOMME (Spain) to develop and export automatic irregular can (vacuum) seamers, earning an excellent reputation in Western markets. The company also successfully developed automatic irregular end making lines, twist-off cap, and PT cap making machinery. Tooling modifications were implemented to accommodate thinner tinplate, reducing costs in can making.
1998 #
Shin-I responded to customer requests for shaped cans by developing a high-speed combination machine with integrated shaper and spin flanger. CE safety regulations were incorporated to meet European market requirements.
1997 #
A high-speed end making system was developed, achieving speeds of up to 1200 ends per minute, meeting the growing demand for efficiency.
1996 #
To enhance machinery quality, Shin-I increased its capital to NT$120 million, enabling the adoption of 3-D computer design tools and strengthening design capabilities. Quintuple and quadruple necking with beading machines were introduced. The company also applied for and achieved ISO9001 Quality System Certification.
1992 #
Can making machinery capable of 800 cans per minute was developed, and the liquid filler combined with seamer reached speeds of 1200 cans per minute.
1990 #
The design department was upgraded with the acquisition of an IBM MICRO CADAM computer, enhancing technical capabilities.
1988 #
To meet the demands of advanced food packaging technology, Shin-I developed a multi-necking machine, which contributed to national savings and elevated the company’s reputation in the global beverage packaging sector. Precision and quality were further ensured by acquiring advanced equipment, including a three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine.
1979 #
Production equipment and facilities were modernized, enabling the development of high-speed automatic can making machinery operating at 450 cans per minute. High-speed automatic lining-drying machines and automatic vacuum syrupers with 360 cans per minute capacity were also introduced. Annual production reached approximately 750 sets.
1977 #
Emphasis was placed on production and quality control to ensure high standards. Business activities expanded into the United States and European markets. A new subsidiary, FONG YIH MACHINERY INDUSTRY CO., LTD., was established with NT$20 million in capital, 100 employees, and a 3,300 square meter factory.
1975 #
With a focus on expanding into Europe, capital was increased to NT$25 million and factory space to 10,900 square meters. Employment grew to 250, and the latest techniques and stricter production controls were adopted. Production skills advanced, with capacities reaching 350 cans per minute and annual output at 650 sets.
1969 #
In partnership with Provincial Shalu Senior Technical School, Shin-I selected 40 students for a three-year on-the-job training program, fostering industry talent.
1965 #
Shin-I Machinery Works Co., Ltd. was established in Chingshui, Taichung, with capital increased to NT$230,000. Factory space expanded to 350 square meters and employment to 50. The company began producing automatic can making machinery with a capacity of 120 cans per minute, serving both domestic and international markets.
