Company profile
GREAT KNIVES MANUFACTURE CO., LTD. was established in 1978 and produces more than 4,000 blades, knives, and precision machine parts for more than 500 customers worldwide. The company states that it has more than 40 years of manufacturing experience and operates across three Asian locations in Taiwan, China, and Vietnam. Its manufacturing scope is supported by an experienced workforce, advanced facilities, and a continuing emphasis on innovation and quality control. The markets it serves include garment, woodworking, CAD/CAM cutting, corrugated cutting, food processing, stationery, precision tools, and the semiconductor industry. Additional industrial markets named by the company include paper, plastic, electronics, hand tools, crafting and stationery, sports, and general industrial applications. Great Knives provides OEM and ODM service for several internationally known knife manufacturers, adding contract manufacturing to its own broad range of blades, knives, tools, and precision parts. Its heat-treatment capability draws on more than 20 years of metallurgical experience and uses furnaces from Germany, Japan, and Switzerland to provide heat-treating solutions for customer requirements. For machining, Great Knives operates more than 100 cutting, milling, drilling, grinding, and CNC machines as part of its production facilities. The engineering team works with trusted partners worldwide to address research-and-development challenges through one-stop supply-chain solutions intended to save customer time and maintain quality. GKM Inspection Labs uses spectrometers, X-ray plating-thickness meters, CMM, microscopes, and other inspection equipment to assess a wide range of geometric specifications and support consistent production quality. The company's facilities in Taiwan, China, and Vietnam are stated to be ISO 9001:2015 certified and are used to provide a complete range of OEM manufacturing services. Its OEM service covers industrial blades and cutting solutions, precision OEM manufacturing, and Metal Injection Molding, or MIM, as distinct manufacturing service areas. Precision OEM manufacturing is described as a design-to-production service in which the company works with customers so that individual tools fit their specified requirements. The MIM service is applied across automotive, electronics, and medical industries, with examples ranging from intricate automotive parts to medical instruments. Across these activities, Great Knives combines industrial-blade manufacturing, precision machine-part production, metallurgical heat treatment, machining, inspection, engineering integration, OEM and ODM service, and multi-country manufacturing operations.
Exhibits
Grinding is a core capability for the company's blade and knife product lines, and Great Knives states that it grinds steel, carbide, ceramics, and diamond products. Its grinding range extends to 900 mm diameter for rotary blades or saws and to lengths of up to 3 meters for straight knives. Industrial Blades & Cutting Solutions are offered as a service area in which cutting solutions are tailored to customer standards across different edges and material requirements. Precision OEM Manufacturing covers collaboration from design through production so that each tool can be produced to the customer's specifications. Metal Injection Molding is another supplied process, serving automotive, electronics, and medical applications that require molded parts such as automotive components and medical instruments. For semiconductor production, Great Knives supplies high-precision wafer frames designed for durability and stability and intended to provide consistent handling and quality in wafer processing. The semiconductor wafer-frame range includes 6″, 8″, and 12″ sizes, together with other customized wafer-frame sizes. Wafer-frame production is supported by integrated in-house quality control with inspection and testing carried out at multiple stages of production. Inspection resources listed for wafer frames include a 2.5D Optical Measurement System, a Flatness Inspection Process, a Contact-Type Surface Roughness Tester, an Optical Comparator, a Rockwell Hardness Tester, and microscopes. Two wafer-frame surface-finish options are identified: a Polished Finish with a smooth, low-roughness surface suitable for cleanroom applications, and a Hairline Finish with a controlled linear texture for stable handling and appearance. The company's semiconductor offering sits alongside its broader precision manufacturing capabilities, including more than 100 cutting, milling, drilling, grinding, and CNC machines and inspection laboratories equipped for dimensional and material-related checks. Its worldwide partner network and engineering-integration approach are also used to provide one-stop supply-chain solutions when customer development work involves research-and-development challenges. Together, the exhibited supply scope spans industrial blades, precision machine parts, steel, carbide, ceramic, and diamond grinding, long and large-diameter knife grinding, precision OEM production, MIM, and semiconductor wafer frames with defined sizes, inspection methods, and surface finishes.
