With steadfast dedication in various fields, starting from Taiwan, the company has expanded its business and operations to various parts of the world, step by step.

PROSPRISE has collaborated with IVECO, a commercial vehicle brand with nearly 50 years of history in Europe, to introduce a variety of complete vehicle models, expand the commercial vehicle value chain, and integrate new one-stop operation services. They are establishing high-standard commercial vehicle and heavy machinery exhibition centers, striving to realize the vision of "sustainable transportation"!

 

Contributing to Taiwan-Italy's outstanding economic and trade development, Antung Group's founder was honored with the " Knight of the order of Italian Stars " medal.

The " Knight of the order of Italian Stars " medal is an honorary decoration of the Italian Republic. It is awarded annually by the Italian government through a rigorous review process to recognize foreign individuals and overseas Italians who have made outstanding contributions to promoting cooperation between Italy and other countries. The scope of recognition covers various fields including culture, technology, business, media, and philanthropy and more. This medal is among the highest honors bestowed to acknowledge the friendly relations between the two countries.

Mr. Mr. CHOU YI SHOU, the founder of Antung Group, has a connection with Italy dating back approximately 50 years. Throughout the process of internationalization, he has successfully established partnerships with excellent Italian companies, such as Casagrande for drilling and pile driving machinery, CNHI-CASE for construction machinery, New Holland for agricultural machinery manufacturing, Ducati for motorcycles, Piaggio for scooters, as well as IVECO Group for commercial trucks and defense vehicles supply. This collaboration has not only facilitated bilateral trade between Taiwan and Italy but also contributed to the technological advancement of Taiwan in construction, leisure, transportation, and defense industries.

Receiving the " Knight of the order of Italian Stars" is a truly remarkable honor, acknowledging remarkable contributions to promoting economic cooperation and foreign trade exchanges between Taiwan and Italy. In recent years, with the introduction of IVECO commercial vehicle products in Taiwan, collaboration with the Italian Trade Agency's office in Taiwan has been strengthened. It is believed that the partnership and exchanges between Taiwan and Italy will become even closer in the future.
