There is a diverse range of fasteners and the export prices of Taiwanese products are comparatively lower than the export prices of European/US countries. As far as Anchor Fasteners is concerned, the fastener technology of Taiwan must be upgraded and the fastener value must be increased. After that, Taiwan can find a new way to stay away from the low-price competition.
