We introduce new products annually, emphasising user-friendly designs that allow easy maintenance and replacement. Our quick die change systems (QDCS) and quick mould change systems (QMCS) automate processes to save time and costs, streamline production, and improve workplace safety. For example, we helped a client reduce mould-changing time by 90%, saving both time and expenses while increasing efficiency and reducing operational hazards.

IMNA: What sets Forwell apart from its competitors?

Forwell: Our strengths lie in high-quality products with a longer lifespan, responsive customer service, and customised solutions. Unique features, such as clamps with water- and dustproof capabilities and pressure-maintaining functions, solve common issues like oil leakage. While competitors might offer lower prices, clients trust us for the value and reliability we deliver.

IMNA: Can you tell us about the latest products featured in this campaign?

Forwell: We’ve launched several new products, including clamps, die arms, and die lifters, designed for use in presses and injection moulding machines. These innovations address industry challenges like oil leakage and incorporate features such as longer clamping strokes and higher safety standards. Our hydraulic pressure-maintaining device ensures uninterrupted operations even in case of oil hose bursts.

IMNA: Who is the target audience for these products, and what challenges do they address?

Forwell: Our products cater to customers prioritising safety and flexibility in mould operations but facing challenges standardising their moulds. For example, our clamps eliminate oil leakage concerns, ensuring longevity and versatility for diverse applications. By reducing mould-changing time and costs, our solutions significantly enhance productivity, safety, and profitability.

IMNA: How can clients access your products?

Forwell: Clients can directly contact us or our network of well-trained overseas distributors, each with over five years of experience in our product lines.

IMNA: Which industries benefit most from your solutions?

Forwell: Our products are widely used in the metalworking and plastics industries, particularly in presses, hydraulic presses, injection moulding machines, and die casting machines. By transitioning from traditional screw-based mould fixing to automated systems, clients save significant time and improve safety.

IMNA: What is your geographical target market?

Forwell: We serve industries worldwide. To address client concerns about after-sales service, we’ve trained distributors globally to provide immediate support.

The Story Behind Forwell’s Success

Forwell’s journey began with a vision to improve productivity and safety in manufacturing. Its founder, Mr. Hsiao Wen-Lung, identified inefficiencies in manual mould-changing processes and designed automated systems to address these challenges. His pioneering hydraulic mould clamps replaced traditional mechanical clamps, enhancing accuracy, speed, and safety.

This commitment to innovation has culminated in the Automated Mold Change System (QMCS) and Automated Die Change System (QDCS), a state-of-the-art solution that reduces mould-changing time from hours to minutes, saving up to 90% of time and costs. The QDCS/QMCS also prevents workplace accidents and human error, contributing to enhanced safety and efficiency.

Forwell’s automated solutions are ideal for businesses looking to integrate Industry 4.0 technologies into their operations. The company’s advanced clamps, die lifters, and control systems not only optimise production but also ensure reliability in challenging environments. Their hydraulic valves, designed to function even with power outages or oil leaks, reflect Forwell’s dedication to durability and innovation.
