Over the past few decades, Taiwan has become one of the most popular destinations for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). With its booming electronics and manufacturing industries, plus growing demand for factory, caregiving, and service roles, Taiwan offers stable work opportunities and competitive pay for thousands of Filipinos.
Here are the five major Taiwanese companies that employ a large number of Filipino workers, highlighting their industries, work environments, and why they continue to attract OFWs in large numbers.
1. Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE)
The dual presence in Kaohsiung and Chungli enables ASE to optimize production across advanced packaging (smart factories) and volume assembly/testing, forming a robust domestic network in Taiwan.
Both branches includes strong Filipino workforce.
2. Wistron Corporation
A spin-off of Acer, Wistron specializes in producing laptops, servers, and smartphones for major international brands. Many of its production line workers in Taiwan are Filipinos, valued for their efficiency and high productivity.
3. I-MEI Foods Co Ltd
I‑Mei Foods, a well-known household brand in Taiwan, has long been a key employer of Filipino workers. With a presence of over 10,000 OFWs since the 1990s, I‑Mei is known not just for its food products but also for its supportive treatment of migrant workers.
4. Powertech Technology Incorporated (PTI)
PTI, a leading semiconductor assembly & testing company, operates a zero-fee, direct overseas hiring program.
PTI runs foreign-talent development programs that include free Mandarin classes, professional workshops, and clear promotion tracks—from technician to white-collar roles.
5. Siliconware Precision Industries (SPIL)
SPIL has historically recruited large numbers of foreign workers—predominantly from the Philippines—using agencies like Mengo, Champion, and Pan Asia for its factories in Taichung, Hsinchu, and Changhua.

There are currently over 160,000 Filipino workers in Taiwan, with a majority in the manufacturing sector. Filipinos are known for being hardworking, skilled in English and tech tasks, and culturally adaptable—making them top choices for Taiwanese employers.
For many Filipinos, Taiwan represents more than just work—it’s an opportunity for a better life, career growth, and even long-term settlement. Whether you're in food processing or high-tech electronics, Taiwan’s top employers continue to open doors for OFWs willing to work hard and dream big.
