The Taiwanese DIY retail operator Testrite became a member of the Global Home Improvement Network GHIN on 1st January 2016. The company with its 26 DIY stores under the TLW brand, is market leader in Taiwan. In 2008, it took over Kingfisher's 50 per cent share in the B&Q Taiwan joint venture, which was set up in 1996 and continued to operate the stores on its own. The name change followed in 2009. Among the company's retail operations are the 23 Taiwanese and 35 Chinese Hola furniture stores.
In Taiwan, the company recorded retail sales of NTD 17.2 bn (of which NTD 6.15 bn came from Hola) in 2014 and thus achieved an increase of 3.3 per cent.
So the European DIY Retail Associations Edra and GHIN now have 121 members operating in 99 countries with more than 22 000 stores. The members' annual turnover adds up to more than USD 260 bn.
