Pioneering Innovation: The Story of Ammy Chou, Founder of Welcome Co., Ltd.

Protecting Patents, Strengthening Expertise | Innovating with Purpose, Staying True to Our Roots

Ammy Chou, the founder of Weicome Co., Ltd., is the first woman in Taiwan to receive the National Invention Award as an individual. Her best-selling products, such as the handy sealer and the mini vacuum pump, are all patented inventions born from her keen observation of everyday life.

As a child, Ammy often watched her grandfather seal plastic bags with a candle. This scene deeply impressed the curious young girl. When Ammy grew up and became the company's head, people frequently borrowed industrial sealers. The image of her grandfather sealing with a candle always came to mind. Combining old wisdom with new technology, she invented the world's first handheld sealer, transitioning sealers from industrial to household use, thus fulfilling the sealing needs of everyday consumers.

Today, her products are sold worldwide through TV shopping and e-commerce platforms, garnering significant attention in international markets. Ammy is one of Taiwan's pioneers in building a renowned brand through small inventions. As a founder and inventor, Ammy understands the importance of patents in innovative research and development. Consequently, she has applied for hundreds of invention, utility, and design patents in various countries for her products, fortifying her creations as her strongest bulwark.

Ammy states, "Creating innovative products is the primary path, and patent deployment is to strengthen our capabilities. This way, we can maintain the life of our products, protect the small Taiwanese brand, and safeguard consumer rights." Her dreams and practices have built the DR. SAVE brand. It is her persistence and strength that have fundamentally protected the interests of the public.

From a curious little girl to an entrepreneur who built a brand with everyday items, Ammy's spirit of innovation and transformation over decades, while staying true to her origins, has forged today's DR. SAVE.
