Naman Enterprise Co., Ltd. held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new factory in the Zhongpu Industrial Park on the 10th. County Magistrate Weng Chang-liang, Legislator Chen Guan-ting, Deputy Director-General Zeng Shu-fen of the Industrial Park Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Zhongpu Township Mayor Li Bi-yun, Chiayi City Councilor Huang Si-ting, as well as County Agriculture Department Director-General Xu Zhang-min and Economic Development Department Director-General Li Ya-ping attended to offer congratulations.

Chairman Huang Jia-xiang, a local business talent from Chiayi, is optimistic about the development potential of food technology and R&D manufacturing. With investment promotion and assistance from the county government and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the company leased land in the Zhongpu Industrial Park and plans to invest NT$227 million to build a smart factory integrating product R&D and production, expanding its operating scale and enhancing food R&D and manufacturing capacity.
Introducing Cold-Chain Low-Carbon Smart Production Model
The future new plant will introduce precision food processing technology, combined with frozen cold-chain and digitalized, low-carbon smart production models, to deepen professional contract manufacturing services for restaurant channels, actively expand its own brand in international markets, further deploy high-end food manufacturing and new agricultural production, enhance the processed value of agricultural products and industrial competitiveness, and become a demonstration case for Taiwan's agriculture moving toward high value-added development. After the new plant begins operation, in addition to expanding the company's production scale and service capacity, it will also create local employment opportunities, drive industrial diversification in the Zhongpu Industrial Park, and promote local economic growth.
Chiayi Youxian Members Account for 9 Product Items
Weng Chang-liang said Naman Enterprise is the second company in the Zhongpu Industrial Park to hold a groundbreaking ceremony, and is also a Chiayi Youxian brand member. Currently, Chiayi Youxian has 241 members with more than 900 product items, of which Naman Enterprise accounts for 9 items. With the groundbreaking of the new plant, the company's development will enter a new milestone, and after completion, the new plant will introduce the latest technologies to inject innovative energy into the food industry.
Huang Jia-xiang said he has had more than 20 years of experience since entering the restaurant industry in 2005. He hopes that after the new plant is completed and put into operation, it will not only create more job opportunities in the Zhongpu area, but also further improve Taiwan's food safety standards, and in the future he hopes to have more opportunities to provide assistance and services to Chiayi Youxian farmers and members. The County Economic Development Department said Chiayi is entering an important transformation stage toward an agri-industrial technology county. The Zhongpu Industrial Park is close to Chiayi City and connected to national highways via the Tai 82 Expressway, with favorable transportation advantages. After Naman Enterprise moves in with smart production and energy-saving and carbon-reduction concepts, it will promote diversified industrial development in the park and gradually build an industrial cluster combining smart machinery, green manufacturing and food technology.
