Luo Shi-Dian and Kuo Min-Huang used to share a senior-junior relationship in the domain of mechanical design; the former is skilled in R&D while the latter has the knack for sales. Despite their differences, the duo had a common goal – to distribute outstanding products of innovation from Taiwan to the international market. The name “Extraordinary Microscience” may pique one’s curiosity at first glance, leading one to wonder, “Just what makes this company ‘extraordinary’?” According to Kuo, who stated half-jokingly, “The name of the company is meant to be interpreted as ‘extra’ ordinary (i.e. more ordinary than usual), and we wanted to convey the message that the company endeavors to earn customers’ trust through down-to-earth services and reliable maintenance.”
Going beyond photovoltaic equipment to reach out to the consumer market
Extraordinary Microscience has been primarily involved in the distribution of equipment for semi-conductor and photovoltaic machinery, serving big name technology companies including Texas Instruments, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering Inc., Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd., King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd., Epistar Corporation and so forth. But if you were to run a search on “Extraordinary Microscience” on the Internet today, you will see that the company is closely involved in the manufacturing of the Gripfast stem shock absorber. How did the company end up as a distributor of bicycle parts when it was originally a vendor of photovoltaic equipment? The story must begin with Luo Shi-Dian, former deputy engineer at the Mechanical and Systems Research Laboratories of ITRI.
