Three Generations of Heritage:

Our Innovation in Agricultural Machinery

The story of Chushia Agricultural Machinery began with the vision of our founder, Mr. Hsien-Hsing Ko. After completing his studies in surgery in Japan, he observed that Japanese agriculture was already at the forefront of mechanization, while Taiwan still relied heavily on manual labor, resulting in low farming efficiency. Driven by a dream to improve Taiwan's agriculture, Mr. Ko founded Chushia Agricultural Machinery in 1961 (the 50th year of the Republic of China). He was dedicated to introducing advanced agricultural machinery to drive mechanization, making farming less strenuous and significantly enhancing the quality of life for farmers.

From Rice Paddies to Tea Gardens:

A Machinery Revolution

The first step for Chushia Agricultural Machinery was introducing power tillers and demonstrating their operation directly in the fields. By dramatically reducing manual labor, these machines quickly won the favor of local farmers, positioning the company as a true pioneer of agricultural mechanization in Taiwan. Subsequently, we partnered with Japan’s OCHIAI to introduce single-person and two-person tea harvesters. Through long-term collaborations with the Tea Research and Extension Station (TRES) and Japanese technical experts, we provided hands-on guidance on machine operation and maintenance across both low- and high-altitude tea plantations. This collaborative effort laid the very foundation for the mechanization of tea garden management in Taiwan today.

The Second Generation Takes the Helm: Expanding Our Horizon

As our founder's daughter, Ms. Hsiang-Ling Ko, took the helm, she guided the company with a dual strategy: 'Solidify the Foundations, Expand the Blueprint.' She revolutionized operations by optimizing inventory management and introducing computerized warehouse systems. Under her leadership, Takeshita successfully expanded its portfolio to represent over ten global brands, while introducing diverse machinery, including shredders, paddy field management equipment, and rice milling machines—firmly securing a rock-solid foundation for the company’s future growth.

Third-Generation Cross-Disciplinary Innovation: Breaking New Ground

Today, Ms. Hsiang-Ling Ko’s son, Mr. Kao-Yung Lin, has dedicated himself to the family business. Stepping deep into the fields to observe the practical needs of farmers firsthand, he has successfully driven innovation—from introducing sweet potato and potato washing machines to fertilizer spreaders, and even installing advanced color sorters in food processing factories. These milestones have allowed Chushia Agricultural Machinery to spearhead an entirely new market within the food industry. Remaining true to our three-generational heritage, Takeshita continues to push boundaries and innovate from the fields to food processing. We are committed to providing smarter, tailor-made solutions that inject dynamic new energy into Taiwan's agricultural and industrial landscapes.
