Donald Sean Hsiao, Chairman of Tex Year Group, was recently invited for an exclusive interview on the CTS special program "Top People." During the segment, he shared his practical strategies for leading Tex Year’s transformation from the traditional adhesive industry to deep cultivation in green materials, and its strategic expansion into high-end semiconductor materials and the aerospace sector.

In the interview, Chairman Hsiao candidly discussed the turning points of his succession, the support he received from his father, and how he has led Tex Year to seize the initiative amidst the international carbon reduction wave through the development of "Green Materials."

The Rationality and Courage of Cross-Disciplinary Succession: From Observing Demand to Timely Loss Mitigation

Facing the challenge of having a professional background different from the family business, Chairman Sean Hsiao shared his balance between rationality and sensibility. Despite having his own career goals and personal interests, he chose to inject his professional perspective into the traditional chemical industry upon taking over family responsibilities. He touchingly mentioned that his father’s support and teachings have always been the cornerstone of his management, allowing him to find a perfect balance between personal interest and corporate legacy.

Chairman Hsiao emphasized that a leader must possess the sensitivity to perceive changes in market demand at any time. Tex Year’s long-standing leadership in the market stems from his wisdom in "cutting losses in time" (stop-loss). Rather than dwelling on mistakes, he believes it is more important to respond quickly and transform actively in the face of setbacks, turning crises into opportunities for corporate upgrades and successfully leading Tex Year to break through traditional frameworks.

Industry-Leading Green Strength: Asia’s First Bio-Based Hot Melt Adhesive and Environmental Roadmap

As a "hidden champion" in green materials, Tex Year Group has achieved significant milestones in R&D. During the interview, Chairman Hsiao introduced Asia’s first bio-based hot melt adhesive developed by Tex Year. This product significantly reduces environmental burdens while maintaining exceptionally stable adhesive properties.

With the global focus on ESG, particularly the EU’s latest PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation), Tex Year has proactively deployed relevant technical solutions. Tex Year does more than just provide adhesives; it assists enterprises in seamlessly connecting with international environmental regulations, helping customers achieve carbon reduction goals through innovative green materials and realizing industrial mutual benefit.

Future Vision: Leveraging R&D Resilience to Venture into Semiconductor and Aerospace Blue Oceans

Regarding the future blueprint, Chairman Donald Hsiao clearly stated that Tex Year Group is not satisfied with the status quo and is actively expanding into the semiconductor and aerospace industries. As global supply chain demand for high-precision and high-performance materials surges, Tex Year is leveraging its advantages in green materials and innovative R&D to develop specialty materials that meet international standards.

Tex Year will continue to break through technical bottlenecks and inject innovative genes into traditional industries, striving to become an indispensable strategic partner in the global high-tech industrial chain.
