On the morning of the 6th, a massive magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck southern Türkiye, causing severe casualties and damage. The Taiwan Machine Tool & Accessory Builders' Association (TMBA) has called upon its member companies to express their collective care by responding to the "Machine Tool Industry Donation for Türkiye Earthquake Relief." These efforts aim to assist the Turkish people in overcoming this crisis and rebuilding their homes, with all funds being donated to the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s disaster relief account. Furthermore, TMBA Chairman Patrick Chen traveled to Türkiye in mid-February to visit the Turkish Machine Tool Businessmen's Association (TIAD). In addition to offering condolences, he discussed how Taiwanese machine tool manufacturers can provide practical assistance to local customers.
