Sheh Kai Precision
started out with premium bi-metal screws and bi-metal anchors, and then branched out to concrete fastening. It has successively developed large carbon steel concrete anchors and bi-metal stainless steel anchors, as well as the exclusive double heat treatment technology to precisely handle hardness distribution and increase product safety and service life. Now it is announcing that the double heat-treated cement threaded anchors have passed ICC certification. These anchors come with hole-drilling diameters ranging from 1/4" to 3/4", covering all common sizes on the market.

Significant Progress Continues with ETA Certification
Cement Bolts
Sheh Kai has completed the ETA C1 seismic test and started writing an evaluation report. Soon, the company will pass this certification. ETA certification already includes seismic tests but these are simulated using non-cracking cement and do not provide safety data for installation to cracked cement. The C1 grade seismic test comes into play to evaluate product safety data when there is a 0.5mm crack. Getting verified by this test will expand product applicability. The company said the reason for applying for the certification is to give customers confidence in the products. Providing certified data allows architects to design buildings based on proof, ensure safety and avoid risks of users’ misuse.
Bi-metal Screws
The company has completed the ETA test and assessment report for this product, along with the audit completed in March 2024. The report is on its way to the certification authorities of EU member states for approval. The certification clearly defines the safety data of existing products and systematically provides the data to architects. This strengthens customer confidence and provides correct data to avoid risks of users’ misuse.
Equipment Upgrade and Carbon Inventory
Sheh Kai Goes Green for Potential Business Opportunities
The company revealed it has completed carbon inventory and will apply for certification to verify the inventory data. Currently they use energy-efficient air compressors, improve the insulation performance of building structures, and use more energy-efficient equipment and machines. Sheh Kai is reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption in the manufacturing sector by improving manufacturing processes, increasing resource utilization efficiency, and using cleaner manufacturing technologies.
The company observed stock level is still high at European customers' locations, but the customers are slowly coming back to purchase from Taiwan. Sheh Kai is using the void to upgrade its ERP system and equipment, focusing on carbon reduction and carbon inventory of the manufacturing process to make full preparations for future full implementation of CBAM and economic recovery.
