SATO announced that SATO Holdings established a 100% owned sales subsidiary SATO Taiwan Co. Ltd. The new company will begin sales from February. SATO first established its presence in Taiwan in 2012 with the acquisition of Argox. SATO Taiwan was established to meet potential new demand in Taiwan for Auto-ID solutions to streamline operations to keep up with an accelerating trend of organizations implementing IT systems and a rapidly aging population. The new company will coordinate closely with Argox and other SATO companies in the APAC region to provide solutions integrating barcode and RFID printers, readers, software, labels and other consumables for Japanese manufacturers, Taiwan healthcare and e-commerce industry and food and beverage manufacturers. It will specifically focus on hospitals, health centers and other healthcare institutions.
