The SHL Group proudly accepted an award at the 61st Annual Golden Merchant Awards Ceremony hosted by the General Chamber of Commerce of the Republic of China (ROCCOC). As an “Outstanding Foreign Firm”, the SHL Group is honored to be recognized as one of Taiwan’s most successful foreign companies.

These awards are presented annually to foreign and domestic organizations that have made significant contributions to commerce in Taiwan. The SHL Group is pleased to share the distinction of “Outstanding Foreign Firm” with Siemens Taiwan, Avon Cosmetics, Degussa Taiwan, PresiCarre, PCA Life Assurance, and Formosa Sumco Technology.

“This award is a major affirmation of our strategy to invest in Taiwan and represents SHL’s positive influence in Taiwan’s commercial development”, remarked SHL Group President Roger Samuelsson. “The island’s talented workforce, favorable business climate, and support from the government have allowed our organization to become the world’s largest privately-owned manufacturer of high-end drug delivery devices.”

Through strategic partnerships and customer relationships with top European and North American pharmaceutical/biotechnology firms, the SHL Group has made Taiwan a global hub for the development and manufacture of advanced medical devices.
