Samson Machinery – Designed to Last

Taiwan’s Samson Machinery Inc., has enjoyed steady growth since its establishment in 1975 by Mr. Lin Kun-Te. During this time the company has acquired a high level of knowledge in the area of tyre manufacturing equipment. This knowledge, along with the experience gained through 32 years in the business, has been instrumental in facilitating the company’s expansion, especially during the last few years. In order to keep pace with customer demand Samson moved into a newer and larger premises in September 2006, and from this new location it continues to provide equipment to customers worldwide.

Customers can order machinery for bias and radial, semi-steel or all-steel, small and large sizes.

Samson attaches great importance to the quality of its machinery. All equipment produced by Samson since 2003 has been designed by 3D design software, and in 2004 Samson began using a dynamic simulation system, enabling it to simulate the operation of a proposed new machine even before construction of a prototype, allowing for the design to be optimised and any deficiencies to be easily eliminated. As a result of this attention to quality Samson is confident that, under normal operating conditions, its equipment will have a service life of more than 20 years.
