Business
Hold-Key Electric Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. manufactures, processes, imports and distributes a broad range of wires and cables primarily for power transmission, distribution, communication and specialized applications. The company offers crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) power cables; electric cables; aluminum cables including bare aluminum wires; rubber cables; communication cables; fiber optic cables; EV charging cables; LAN cables; heat-resistant and solar wires; low-smoke zero-halogen flame-retardant cables; multi-media cables; multiple core control cables; cable accessories such as terminations, joints, power transformers and power capacitors; USB cables; and networking systems, with additional engineering services supporting deep processing and installation. Founded in 1989 and headquartered at 10F, No. 140, Sec. 1, Zhongxiao E. Rd., Jhongjheng District, Taipei, Taiwan, Hold-Key operates manufacturing facilities in Taiwan including its primary plant at No. 32, Jing-Jiann 5th Rd., Kuan Yin Industrial Estate, Taoyuan, and distributes products domestically as well as to overseas markets in Europe and the Americas. The company, listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange under ticker 1618 since 2000 following its OTC debut in 1998, employs approximately 293 people and generates trailing twelve-month revenue of around NT$5.18-5.35 billion with net income of NT$821-854 million. Recent financial performance reflects strong earnings growth including an 85% year-over-year net income increase and impressive three-year EPS expansion, though accompanied by negative free cash flow of NT$577 million in the year to September 2024 amid elevated working capital needs; no major acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, new product launches, strategic shifts or reorganizations appear in the past 1-2 years.
