According to Tex Year, it is Taiwan’s first green-material supplier to set up a factory in Poland, as part of the first wave of Taiwanese investment in Europe.

The company has also established its branch in Gniezno, Poland to facilitate quick service in the European market.

This site will further help in addressing the urgency to replace traditional plastic products, which has been triggered by the ‘European Green Deal’ that was introduced by the European Commission at the end of 2019.

Tex Year, which has already received certifications from the US Department of Agriculture and German Deutsches Institut für Normung, specialises in developing hot-melt adhesive products using biobased materials.

The company also works in close coordination with several food packaging manufacturers, white goods companies, automotive assembly manufacturers, and woodworking and mattress businesses to achieve net-zero emissions objectives.
