Hardware Retail Chain Expands Rapidly as Hand Tool Sales Grow

Taiwanese hardware retail chain Zhen Yu Hardware continues to expand its store network. In the first 10 months of 2026, cumulative revenue reached NT$2.04023 billion, up 7.15% from the same period last year. As of November 14, the company operated 99 stores across Taiwan, putting it just one location away from the 100-store milestone.

Zhen Yu Hardware plans to open two new stores simultaneously on December 6, one in Hukou, Hsinchu, and the other in Madou, Tainan, bringing its nationwide store count to 101. To celebrate reaching the 100-store milestone, the company also plans to launch a customer rewards points promotion starting December 1, along with a 100-Store Customer Appreciation Brand Week from December 1 to 12.

Looking at product sales performance, the paint and waterproofing category grew 14.60% year over year in October, while power and hand tools increased 7.24% and construction hardware rose 5.68%. These figures suggest that home improvement products continue to show solid sales momentum in hardware retail channels, with everyday repair tools remaining a category worth watching.

Whether you're assembling furniture, adjusting screws, or handling small repairs around the house, having a convenient set of tools can make the job easier. The Gerber Center-Drive EDC 14-in-1 Multi-Tool combines multiple practical functions in one tool, making it a useful addition to a home workbench or toolbox. It comes in handy whenever you need to grip components or tighten screws.
