First Motion Set for IPO with 2027 Goals for Medical and Industrial Robotics

DiGiTAL DRIVE (stock code yet to be determined) will make its debut on the Emerging Stock Board on October 21 at an initial public offering price of NT$168 per share. Chairman Tseng Kuan-shu stated at a press conference that although the company already possesses mature smart electric transmission technology, it maintains a long-term goal of an official listing by 2027, while continuing to strengthen its market deployment across four major application sectors: medical, working environments, home furniture, and industrial applications. This emerging stock listing will not only inject fresh capital into the company but also enhance its visibility and competitiveness within domestic and international supply chains.

Founded in 2008, DiGiTAL DRIVE specializes in the research and development of high-performance electric transmission systems, with products spanning servo motors, inverter drives, and integrated control solutions. Driven by its core competencies of "energy efficiency, low noise, and longevity," the company has successfully expanded into diversified markets including medical equipment, smart offices, furniture automation, and industrial robots. In recent years, as Taiwan's manufacturing sector transitions toward intelligence and high value-added operations, demand for high-performance electric transmission has experienced rapid growth. In response, DiGiTAL DRIVE has launched multiple innovative products and garnered various patents and technical certifications at international exhibitions.

Chairman Tseng Kuan-shu pointed out that over the next three years, the company will focus on advancing four major application fields. In the medical sector, high-precision, low-vibration transmission solutions will be used to support surgical robots and rehabilitation devices; the working environment sector will focus on automated equipment for smart office spaces, such as automated bookshelves and desks; the home furniture market will center on smart furniture, integrating sensors and remote control; and the industrial sector will focus on industrial robots, with substantial benefits expected to be realized next year. These strategies will not only expand the customer base but also increase the company's value chain share across different industrial sectors.

In the industrial robotics sector, DiGiTAL DRIVE's high-performance transmission systems can significantly reduce energy consumption and noise during robot operation while enhancing precision and reliability. Taiwan's industrial robot market is in a period of rapid growth, with international demand and competition among local manufacturers intensifying daily. If the company can achieve commercialization of its industrial robot applications next year, it will secure a pivotal position in the global robotics supply chain and deliver substantial returns to investors. More importantly, this will also promote Taiwan's international image in the fields of automation and smart manufacturing, holding positive significance for overall industrial upgrading.

The emerging stock listing provides investors with a new window into Taiwan's high-tech industry. Although the emerging stock market is smaller in scale compared to the Taiwan Stock Exchange, its support for innovative enterprises and the flexibility of its listing procedures have attracted the attention of numerous investment institutions and venture capitalists. DiGiTAL DRIVE has established a solid foundation in technology and market deployment; if it can continuously execute the four major application strategies outlined by the Chairman after listing, it is expected to achieve revenue growth in the short term and secure a leading position in smart manufacturing and robotics over the long term. Investors should also monitor the company's developments in technological R&D, patent portfolios, and international cooperation to evaluate its long-term competitiveness.

In summary, DiGiTAL DRIVE's emerging stock listing is not only an opportunity for capital fundraising but also an important milestone for the company to further deepen its smart electric transmission technology and expand diversified application fields. As Taiwan's manufacturing industry transforms toward intelligence, enterprises that can seize technological advantages and market demand will stand out in global industrial competition. Over the next few years, DiGiTAL DRIVE's deployment in the medical, working environment, home furniture, and industrial robot sectors will serve as the key driving force for its growth.
