In June 2023, during the 40th-anniversary celebration of the China Pen-making Association and the Pen-making Industry Development Conference, TISCO was honored with the title of "National Brand in the Chinese Pen-making Industry" and awarded a plaque and certificate, becoming the sole enterprise among domestic pen nib steel suppliers to receive this prestigious recognition.
During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" and "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" periods, TISCO successfully completed the research and development task for pen nib steel, an easy-cutting stainless steel material, as a key participating company in the national science and technology program. Their products and critical production technologies have filled a domestic gap. After the successful development of pen nib steel, the marketing team has been committed to increasing market share. They overcame challenges like weak demand caused by the pandemic and established a fast-response mechanism with leading pen-making enterprises. Through all-weather and full-process tracking services and a series of product combinations in marketing, they accelerated the increase of the domestic market share. By 2022, their market share reached approximately 45%, securing the leading position and making significant contributions to the localization of critical materials in the Chinese pen-making industry. This achievement has also saved a substantial amount of foreign exchange for the industry, receiving recognition from the Chinese pen-making sector.
Building on its expanded domestic market share, TISCO aims to venture into the international market and further enhance the brand influence of Tai Steel pen nibs. The company will continue to uphold the spirit of innovation and craftsmanship, striving relentlessly for the localization of critical materials and contributing to the acceleration of China's journey towards manufacturing excellence.
