Cheng Hoon Hardware Shines at 2026 LINEAPELLE: Empowering Bag Fashion with Precision Solid Brass Craftsmanship


From February 11 to 13, 2026, the LINEAPELLE Milan Leather Fair, one of the most influential international events in the global leather and bag industry, will take place at the Milan Rho Fiera Exhibition Center. Cheng Hoon Hardware Co., Ltd., a company originating from Taiwan and rooted in Zhongshan, Guangdong, will make its debut appearance at this prestigious event, occupying Booth HALL 5 B03. Under the theme "Precision Solid Brass Craftsmanship, Igniting the Future of Bags," Cheng Hoon will showcase its expertise in high-end solid brass hardware accessories, blending Taiwanese precision management with mainland manufacturing prowess to present the world with the ingenuity of Chinese craftsmanship.


Rooted in Taiwan, Deepening in China, Dedicated to Solid Brass Craftsmanship


Cheng Hoon Hardware carries forward the rigorous and meticulous manufacturing heritage of Taiwan, combining it with the robust industrial supply chain of the Chinese mainland. This synergy has fostered the development of a modern enterprise specializing in the research, development, and production of solid brass hardware accessories for luggage and bags. Based in Zhongshan, known as "China's Hardware Capital," the company has established a comprehensive production system encompassing mold development, die-casting, precision machining, and surface treatment.

Leveraging the technical expertise and quality control experience of its Taiwanese roots, Cheng Hoon possesses unique insights into material selection, structural design, and surface finishing. The product range includes handles, locks, corner guards, top handles, and decorative rings—catering to high-end suitcases, luxury handbags, and custom leather goods. Whether it is the vintage charm of antique patina or the opulence of mirror polishing, Cheng Hoon delivers with precision, meeting the exacting standards of international brands.


Capacity Expansion: Thailand Subsidiary to Commence Operations by End of 2026


To meet the growing global demand and enhance supply chain resilience, Cheng Hoon Hardware is actively advancing its global production strategy. The company is currently establishing its first overseas subsidiary in Thailand. The project has entered the phase of factory site selection and equipment procurement, with mass production scheduled to begin by the end of 2026.

The establishment of the Thailand subsidiary marks a strategic milestone in Cheng Hoon’s globalization journey. It represents a significant step in optimizing global capacity and integrating resources across the Taiwan Strait. Once operational, it will significantly boost overall production capacity, alleviating pressure on the Zhongshan headquarters and providing faster, more flexible localized services to clients in Europe and Southeast Asia.


Expanding Horizons: Exploring New Applications in Furniture Hardware


While consolidating its leadership in the luggage hardware sector, Cheng Hoon Hardware is actively exploring new growth frontiers. The company has initiated market research and technical evaluation for solid brass hardware in the furniture industry, targeting high-end custom furniture, classical-style furnishings, and luxury interior design.

Drawing on its expertise in material processing and the market insights of its Taiwanese design team, Cheng Hoon is currently conducting technical alignment and sample testing with several European high-end furniture brands. In the future, the company plans to launch a dedicated sub-brand, “Home & Living,” offering a collection of functional yet artistic solid brass home accessories, providing differentiated solutions for the global luxury furniture market.


Technological Innovation: Advancing Vacuum Plating for Enhanced Durability


To meet customers’ increasing demands for product durability, higher surface hardness, and improved wear resistance, Cheng Hoon Hardware’s R&D center is intensively developing a vacuum plating process. Utilizing Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology, this process forms a dense, high-hardness coating on solid brass surfaces under vacuum conditions, significantly enhancing scratch and abrasion resistance.

Preliminary test results show that products treated with vacuum plating exhibit over three times the wear life compared to traditionally plated counterparts, with excellent color stability. This environmentally friendly process aligns with global trends toward green manufacturing and sustainability. This technological breakthrough highlights the deep expertise of the Taiwanese technical team in materials science. It is expected to complete pilot testing by Q3 2026, with mass production scheduled for early 2027.


Stepping onto the Global Stage: A New Chapter of Collaboration


At Booth HALL 5 B03, Cheng Hoon Hardware will create an interactive "Future of Solid Brass Craftsmanship" laboratory. During the exhibition, the management and design team from Taiwan will be present to engage in face-to-face discussions with global brands, designers, and buyers, sharing innovative concepts and the unique aesthetic philosophy rooted in Taiwan.


See you in Milan on February 11, 2026!

We warmly invite luggage brands, furniture designers, buyers, and industry professionals to visit Booth HALL 5 B03—to explore the art of solid brass, discover new possibilities, and shape the future of premium hardware together.
