Lathe Manufacturing in Taiwan Since 1968 #
KINWA Lathe is the lathe brand of CHIN HUNG MACHINERY CO.,LTD., a Taiwanese manufacturer focused on the development, production and global sale of manual lathes and CNC lathes. The company began in 1968 when founder Mr. C. F. Chang started a machining business in Taichung City with a single lathe. In 1973 the company began building lathes as CHIN HO Machinery Factory, and in 1980 it moved to Daya District and was reorganized as CHIN HUNG MACHINERY CO.,LTD.
