Create value of glass＆define sustainability
The transformation to a total solution provider in the glass industry in the past few years has gradually shown good results. The next goal should focus on making consumers more aware that glass, due to its aesthetics character and sustainability to our earth, is the better choice compare to plastic or other materials when it comes to packaging material. Besides announce this idea through general media , we also need to establish a model of ESG, following the expectation set by the government, so that ESG is not just a slogan heard in the general news, but instead we actually practice here at Hwahsia Glass.
Forging the Future: A Legacy of Sustainability
As Hwa Hsia Glass embarks on a new era, we are filled with optimism for the future while remaining acutely aware of the challenges that lie ahead. Global climate change, resource scarcity, and rapid technological advancements will undoubtedly reshape the glass industry. To thrive in this evolving landscape, we are committed to:

Digital saling process
Since in the post-epidemic era, people's consumption habits have been greatly changed: a large number of physical channels have been converted to the virtual/web-based channels, and online marketing will be very important. Whether it is for general consumers or companies, this is an unstoppable trend in 2020 and will only continue to grow in the future. In this regard, we will plan and redesign our company's website as one of the focuses this year. We will also continue to invest resources in the development of online sales platforms. In the last half of the year, we have seen business growth of more than 60% for this area.
The COVID-19 situation is not over yet, and it is likely that there are many uncertainties we could foresee in 2021. Therefore we should treat these uncertainties as a risk factor in terms of management. Risk management is like facing a “receding sea” - it seems like a lucky offer of an extra piece of a nice beach, but at the same time you need to watch out for an upcoming tsunami. Deploy preventive measures and invest necessary resources for risk control allows you to deal with such crises, and minimize the damage.
Digital integration
Social Media, especially for the Youtube channel Glass Brothers, we made some differences in contents last year, including co-op with bars and restaurants, but I think we still have a lot to work on. There will be some adjustment this year.。
Smart manufacturing
In terms of smart manufacturing, there have been many breakthroughs after the introduction of collaborative robots and the AOI developed within our group in the past few years, but it also has also reached a stable point. We believe that the next stage is to explore the possibilities of these devices differently and upgrade them accordingly. There are many applications for collaborative robots . At present time, they are mainly used for packaging bottles, but in fact there are many production jobs that may use this equipment to achieve higher efficiency. For this reason, we will also put some resources in this area. As for the AOI, integrating past few year's experience, we continue to have new discoveries and breakthroughs for improvement. After building various prototypes, I expect to build a finalized version this year; AI learning and data analysis could be developed in the second half of 2021. Additionally, building an IOT within production line will also be something we are thinking of this year, paving the way for future digital integration.
