On its anniversary on Oct. 31, “Taiwan’s invisible champion” Superalloy Industrial Co (SAI) gathered 25 super sports cars and luxury saloon cars from Chrysler and other makers worth more than NT$600 million at its offices. The row of cars attracted a lot of attention as they were parked and showed off by the side of the road, causing many passers-by to get out of their cars and take pictures.

Using titanium and mechanical technologies, SAI has expanded from making golf club heads and bicycle parts to become a supplier to Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, Jaguar, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota, reaching an annual turnover of more than NT$4 billion.
