In 1960, Mr. Mao Cheng Chen, president of the company, and two other colleagues in the department of Mechanical Engineering of the Tainan Engineering College (predecessor of Cheng Kung University) established a company called "Chen Ta Machinery Works". It was named "Chen Ta" in remembrance of, and also giving acknowledgement to, their Alma mater, Cheng Kung University (called Chen Ta in short) from where Mr. Chen and his colleagues had received their specialized mechanical education.

Chen Ta Machinery Works specialized in machining jobs such as grinding/re-building of the crankshafts of automobile and vessel engines, cylinder overhaul, and diesestment. Back then, she was the best of her field in southern Taiwan. Due to the excellent technique and the cordial service, the company name was soon well known and the business became prosperous.

In 1971, the president realized that the company needed her own product to support a long-term operation. So, the technique cooperation between CHENTA and Mitaka Koki began. Jen Wu Machinery Co., Ltd was established. She started manufacturing her own brand, "CHENTA GEAR REDUCERS". Now the company has about 60 employees, and her products have been marketing to the world under the name of "CHENTA". The major markets are in Taiwan, Asia, and North America. In Taiwan, she remains at the top of the field.

Since the beginning of the company, our conviction is to "Gather excellent human resource, and research and manufacture high quality products". Our product policy is targeting at "Guaranteed Quality", "On Time Delivery", "Competitive Prices", "Rational Production", and "International Marketing".

The motto of our company is based on "INNOVATION", "HONESTY", "DILIGENCE", and "EFFICIENCY".

With our 40 years of experience in mechanical manufacturing and honest operation, a fine culture has naturally grown inside the cooperation. This spirit is the most precious resource of our company.

To reach our long term operation goal, based on the company's existing cultural resources, we will: have high expertise in the field; serve our customers with respect; constantly improve ourselves; manufacture high quality and affordable speed reducers for our customers throughout the world, all so that we can grow together with our customers.
