Taiwan Factory Finder (工廠登記) — Official MOEA Data

Search Taiwan's ~100,000 registered factories that are currently in production, straight from the official Ministry of Economic Affairs factory register open data, as clean English-keyed JSON, CSV or Excel. Filter by industry, county/city, district, product category keyword and registration date, and get each factory's registration number, name, 8-digit business ID (統一編號), address, industries, main product categories and approval dates.

Who is it for

• Sourcing and procurement teams looking for Taiwanese manufacturers of a given product group (semiconductors, plastic products, medical devices, machinery, food processing…) in a given region.
• B2B sales and lead generation: industrial suppliers, logistics, automation, energy, ESG and insurance vendors who sell to factories. Sort by newest registrations to find factories that just started production.
• Market, supply-chain and investment research: count factories by industry and county, map industrial clusters, enrich company lists with factory locations via the business ID.
• Data pipelines and AI agents that need a structured, official list of Taiwanese production sites.

Why use it

• Official source, not a scraped directory: the Registered Factory Directory (登記工廠名錄) published by the MOEA Industrial Development Administration on data.gov.tw (dataset 6569). The Actor always resolves the current download link from the data.gov.tw listing, so it follows monthly updates automatically.
• English field names and ISO dates (the source uses ROC dates such as 0790517 → 1990-05-17), industries and product categories split into {code, name, nameEn} objects, county / district / village split out.
• Fast and light: one small index file plus one ~6 MB ZIP per run; the default run finishes in about 6 seconds.
• Privacy by default: the factory owner's personal name (工廠負責人) is not output unless you turn on includeOwner.
• Polite to the government servers: only two requests per run, a delay before each, 3 retries with backoff and clear error messages.

Input example

{
  "industries": ["26"],
  "counties": ["新竹市", "新竹縣"],
  "productKeyword": "半導體",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Field	Meaning
industries	2-digit manufacturing division codes, e.g. 08 food, 22 plastic products, 25 fabricated metal, 26 electronic components, 29 machinery, 33 other (incl. medical devices). Empty = all.
counties	County/city (Chinese names, e.g. 臺中市, 桃園市). Empty = all of Taiwan.
districts	Exact district/township names, e.g. 岡山區.
productKeyword	Matches the official product categories (e.g. 半導體, 塑膠製品, 醫療器材), a category code prefix (e.g. 261), English category/industry names (e.g. semiconductor) and the factory name.
nameKeyword	Factory name contains.
registeredFrom, registeredTo	Factory registration approval date range (YYYY-MM-DD).
includeOwner	Output the owner's name (off by default; see FAQ).
sortBy	registrationDateDesc (default), registrationDateAsc or source.
maxItems	Maximum rows (default 20).

With an empty input {} the Actor returns the 20 most recently registered factories in Taiwan.

A RUN_SUMMARY record in the key-value store reports the snapshot file, total factories, matches and rows pushed.

Pricing

Suggested pay-per-event price: US$0.003 per result (US$3 per 1,000 factories), charged through the default dataset-item event, plus the standard Actor start event.

Use case	Results	Cost
Default run (20 newest factories)	20	US$0.06
Semiconductor factories in Hsinchu City + County	232	~US$0.70
All semiconductor factories in Taiwan (productKeyword: "semiconductor")	557	~US$1.67
Every factory in production in Taiwan	~101,000	~US$303

Runs that match nothing push no rows and are not charged per result.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? The register is republished roughly monthly (the snapshot file name, e.g. 11508.csv, and snapshotUpdated tell you which version you got). It contains factories whose status is "in production" (生產中) only.

Does it list individual products? No. The official register lists product categories (主要產品, 3-digit Taiwan SIC groups such as 261 半導體 or 332 醫療器材及用品), not free-text product lists or brands.

Can I get the owner's name? Only with includeOwner: true. The factory owner is a natural person; their name is personal data under Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act and you are responsible for having a lawful purpose.

Phone numbers or emails? Not included; the official data does not contain them. Join on businessId with company registry data if you need more company details.

Why is establishmentApprovedDate often null? Many smaller factories register directly without a separate establishment permit; the source leaves the field empty.
