Yih-Tair Industrial Co., Ltd.

Windshield moldings, solar-panel trim, cold-roll formings

2012/09/06 | By Quincy Liang | YIH-TAIR INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.

Yih-Tair Industrial Co. is an ISO 9001-certified developer and producer of windshield moldings, body moldings, solar-panel trim, corner protectors, and cold-roll forming products, among other items.

Founded in 1983, the company has become a leading player in the international windshield molding market, selling products under its own well-known brand “FlexLine.”

Yih-Tair is skilled at many specialty production techniques, including soft and hard plastic extrusion, multicolor/multiplex co-extrusion, metal roll forming, metal and plastic combination forming in one operation, plastic hard foaming extrusion, wood grain extrusion, dispensation prescription of special raw materials, and dispensation prescription (variable section) extrusion technology.

In 2011, the firm installed new EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) production lines at its new plant in Longtan, Taoyuan County, in northern Taiwan. In the new plant, advanced thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and EPDM production lines turn out windshield moldings with integrated three-dimensional rain channels.

The company has achieved success through constant upgrading and transformation. After becoming the largest supplier of automotive body moldings in Taiwan, it began diversifying into windshield moldings, which have a higher technological threshold, nine years ago. It has also developed full in-house capabilities in the fields of corner injection, corner melting, metal insert, and variable extrusion. So far it has developed more than 2,300 windshield molding models.

Yih-Tair claims to be the only company in Taiwan with full capability to produce 3D windshield moldings with integrated rain channels, which are used mainly by Japanese carmakers. The development and manufacturing of 3D windshield moldings is challenging, requiring very high technical and engineering capabilities, extensive know-how and experience, and considerable investment in new design systems and manufacturing equipment.

Because they offer the best quality together with competitive prices, Yih-Tair's windshield moldings are popular with major aftermarket (AM) auto glass suppliers, auto repair-shop chains, wholesalers, and importers in North America, Europe, and Japan.
