Hitachi Yungtay Elevator officially announced on June 5th that it has reached the milestone of cumulative shipments of 100,000 units. Coinciding with the company’s 60th anniversary, Hitachi Yungtay Elevator held a grand celebration ceremony. Under the concerted efforts of Chairman Koguchi and the entire staff, the 60th-anniversary series of events was officially launched.
Chairman Koguchi, who just took office this April, visited the site in person to witness this historic moment alongside front-line colleagues at the Taoyuan Factory. Chairman Koguchi expressed with emotion: “As the company enters its 60th anniversary, welcoming the delivery of our 100,000th elevator is the best birthday gift all our colleagues could have given to the company! Behind these 100,000 units lies not only the Taiwan market’s absolute trust in our position as the ‘No. 1 in Market Share,’ but also the highest honor earned through the sweat of everyone on the front line. This achievement comes with great responsibility, and providing flawless, safe services remains the company’s unwavering commitment.”
Since joining the Hitachi Group in 1983, Chairman Koguchi has always engaged directly with clients on the front lines, accumulating over 40 years of experience in elevator maintenance and management. Standing at the new starting point of its 60th anniversary, Hitachi Yungtay Elevator has actively introduced international management and technical standards in recent years, perfectly integrating them with deeply rooted localized operational strategies. Chairman Koguchi pointed out that in the face of future market opportunities, the company will continue to leverage the group synergy of “One Hitachi.” He also expressed his hope that the Taoyuan Factory will continue to serve as the strongest production backbone, driving the next golden decade with leading smart manufacturing.
Facing the massive operational capacity of 100,000 elevators across Taiwan, Hitachi Yungtay Elevator views “safety” as an uncompromising bottom line. At the ceremony, Chairman Koguchi reiterated the company’s ironclad rule: S>>L>>Q>D>C (Safety>Legal>Quality>Delivery>Cost). He emphasized that absolutely nothing takes priority over safety. While production numbers continue to rise, the company requires its employees to maintain the mindset of “Return home safely,” viewing the safety and health of employees as the company’s most important asset.
To extend the commitment of safety to its clients, Hitachi Yungtay Elevator is aggressively promoting a “predictive and proactive maintenance attitude.” By utilizing big data and smart sensing technology, the company performs precise maintenance before issues occur, providing a more comprehensive, reassuring product and mobility experience.
The birth of the 100,000th elevator represents the culmination of Hitachi Yungtay Elevator’s 60 years of honor. Although it rained on the day of the ceremony, the company embraces the traditional mindset that “water brings prosperity.” With overflowing momentum and infinite drive, Hitachi Yungtay Elevator will continue to inject vitality into the enterprise, walking hand in hand with Taiwanese society toward the next glorious decade.
Implementing localized operations in accordance with international standards—the safety of clients, employees, and workplaces remains the core commitment continuously practiced by the company. On the right is Chairman Koguchi Tatsuhiro, and on the left is General Manager Shen Yu-Shun.
