Research & Development
BHI considers advanced technology as a
key factor for growth and progress.
R&D Center
Ever since the R&D Center was established and registered in the Ministry of Education in May 2001, it has played a key role for BHI’s growth.
The main purpose of the R&D Center is to develop futuristic and high value-added technologies in order to be a leading company in development of industry and society.
BHI has aggressively commercialized R&D outcomes and so achieved a substitution effect of imports in related industries.
BHI has closely cooperated with related companies, research institutes, and universities in preparation for an era of increased technical competitiveness, and perform efficient research services through exchanges of technical information and joint research.
The R&D Center serves as a stepping-stone for BHI to boost its quality and technology.
