Locks Association of Taiwan

Chairman's Message

 Over the last nearly 50 years,Taiwan's exports have largely been OEM orders or its productions are made based on customers' requests. Themajority of manufacturers makefor foreign brands and do not have their own brands and grades, leading to cut-throat competition, unparallel technical level, and untransparentintellectual rules and regulations. Today, with the arrival of knowledge economy and impact of thin profit and tough competition, all manufacturers ought to change their status quo and follow current tide. Hence, nearly 100 manufacturers attended a ceremony to mark the formation of the Locks Association of Taiwan in June 6, 2009.

 

The purpose of forming the Locks Association of Taiwan is to get ready for change. Every directors and supervisors are entrusted with the mission of taking up works that need to be done urgently. Such urgent tasks include the grading of locks, certification and education for locksmiths, including service improvement and seminar on intellectual property rights, place of origin and assessment on innovation. The Locks Association of Taiwan will enter into exchange of technical knowledge with the our counterparts the world over. It will also undertake promotion with the local sector and interaction with the manufacturing, government and the academics. The association will in full force provide guidance and assistance to uplifting quality of the industry. It is more important to turn competitors into cooperators. It will establish good market orders and create excellent service.

 

The vision of the association is to go after the tide. First of all, we should apply self-owned patents by means of sole innovation and travel our own way. Efforts should be made to innovate unique skill, quality, method and techniques in order to create the core value of competition.

Secondly, the association will take advantage of the government's concern and resources to upgrade the level of the traditional industry, leading the lock industry to the high-priced market and shaping up a unique channel with competitiveness and value.

 

In long terms, the Locks Association of Taiwan should establish a common concept. For the individual company, it is a permanent operation. For the industry as a whole, we should benefit and help each other. For the consumers, we should pursue the best quality and the best service and security.

 

It is my hope that every member of the association will participate in its activities with willingness and concern. As a matter of fact, the association needs sincerity, perseverance, dedication and love.

Lastly, I sincerely hope that the industry, the government, the academics and the public will advise us on better ways to run our association so that every owner  would achieve success in happiness. Besides, I also hope that our locks and related components and parts will be sparkling internationally through global sales and marketing. Bearing this in mind, we will one day be able to return our favor and assistance to our society and community.

鎖具與人生三大事之啟發，玄妙之鎖，閉不可知，開不可見。

生命：貪嗔與痴迷，覺悟與明理。
生活：酒色與財氣，佈施與修齊。

生死：來兮與歸兮，天堂與地獄，何處是歸居？

      閉善而不知，開善而不見。

 

台灣鎖業發展協會成立的宗旨：

 

　　由上述得知古代至現今鎖具與人類生活、生命、生死有著極密切的關係，而台灣大小業者有數百家之多，零售及鎖匠近萬家，唯幾十年來欠缺市場規範，更無共生理念致使產品惡性競爭，品質優劣不齊，服務精神不佳，智財法令不清，許多瓶頸難以突破。

　　本協會於2009年6月6日在高雄金屬研究中心正式成立，今後的會務有八大項且各由理監事分組進行推展，期望將鎖業提升為全方位的安全服務。藉協會全體力量來改變現狀，順應潮流。

 

目前急需推動的事項是：

 

★ 建立鎖具分級標準

★ 建立市場規範

★ 推動鎖匠證照制度及技術教育

★ 推動產地證明

★ 加強國際鎖業交流

★ 推動媒體宣導

★ 推動產官學之互動及輔導

★ 整合競爭者成為合作者

 

我更寄望協會全體前輩共同奉獻更優異的做法，使有心於會，湧進誠心；誠心於事，邁進用心；用心於職，匯入苦心；苦心於務，導入恆心。

協會最主要的宗旨就是鼓勵業者提升其永續，更是急需創造再造士氣（精神）訴求（四求）：

求本：固本造圃，保存本務，永續今古，開拓銷路。

求知：精誠所至，技術不輸，智財增讀，產業不枯。

求新：改變現路，增廣版圖，創研精術，共造幸福。

求行：篤行會務，責任行使，企業朝暮，不辭勞苦。

　　

說來說去大家都來落實，你甘愿，我不倦來完成任務，責任是使命，使命是擔當，擔當要奉獻，奉獻要犧牲，犧牲要甘愿，甘愿就快樂，快樂就會壽命多。

 

協會會務的期許：

 

   近期：突破目前的瓶頸，如產品安規，鎖匠證照及教育，國際鎖業交流這些挑戰必須急促改變現狀。

   遠期：建立市場秩序，智財法令諮詢，整合異業資源，化競爭為合作，品牌建立，人文素質提升等方可順應現代的潮流。

現在我以一首詩祝福全體鎖業經營的成就。
