Teaming up for a green future, Taiwan’s Zhen Ding Technology (4958-TW) and Taiwan-based electronics giant TECO (1504-TW) have announced a strategic partnership aimed at advancing energy-saving and sustainable development in the PCB industry. The two companies signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement on October 24, focusing on low-carbon transitions and intelligent energy management.

The partnership will initially focus on a "Smart Energy Management" project, combining both companies' expertise to reduce carbon emissions in the PCB sector. Through technological exchange and collaboration, the companies aim to decrease their carbon footprint by more than 5,000 tons annually. Their work will include solar energy installations, energy storage systems, and overall energy optimization for Zhen Ding's global facilities.

TECO will provide advanced technical services for various industrial operations, including motor drive systems, cooling water, ventilation, air conditioning, and waste heat recovery. Their collaboration has already yielded significant results: TECO’s "carbon reduction package" saved Zhen Ding approximately 1.5 million RMB ($683,000 TWD) in annual electricity costs at its Shenzhen and Qinhuangdao plants, reducing carbon emissions by 1,800 tons per year.

In a statement, TECO Chairman Ming-Shyan Li emphasized the importance of this collaboration in helping Zhen Ding achieve its global green transformation goals. Meanwhile, Zhen Ding Chairman Qing-Fang Shen highlighted the value of leveraging TECO’s intelligent management technologies to drive equipment health management and the full lifecycle of green energy integration.

With sustainability and technological innovation at its core, this partnership between two industry leaders is set to help reshape the PCB industry for a low-carbon future.
