During the May Day holiday, Mr. Johnson Yan, Chairman of Conprofe, led a team to Europe for a market investigation. The team visited Switzerland, Italy, Spain, and France and made in-depth exchanges with partners from the local markets. The trip was fruitful with mutual agreement between Conprofe and its strategic partners in these countries regarding further market exploration and expansion of Conprofe Ultrasonic Machine Tools in the European market.
1st Destination:
Swiss Watch Valley – La Chaux-de-Fonds
La Chaux-de-Fonds, known as the watch-making capital worldwide, is also the center of the Swiss watch manufacturing industry, where the headquarters of Rolex, Patek Philippe, Tissot, Omega and other top-notch watch companies are located. The team visited LUTHY MACHINES, a century-old local enterprise and a watch manufacturer.
LUTHY MACHINES, founded in 1916, started its business by developing watches and precision machining equipment for the watch industry. It has a good reputation in Switzerland and other European countries. The team of LUTHY MACHINES highly recognizes Conprofe Ultrasonic Technology and its products and believes that the products have excellent prospects for application in watch, medical, and microelectronics machining in Switzerland and Europe.
The two companies thoroughly discussed short-term and long-term cooperation in further market development. Both showed strong interest in forging an experience center in Switzerland. Besides exhibiting Conprofe Ultrasonic-Green Machine Tools in its big hall, LUTHY MACHINES would provide technical consulting, test cuts and after-sales services for customers in Switzerland and Italy.
Conprofe team also visited the local precision watch manufacturer, who purchased Conprofe’s Ultrasonic Precision Engraving and Milling Machining Center three years ago. The production manager shared his feedback that the machine had been running stably over the years. As end user of Conprofe’s machine tools, the customer showed their confidence in further enhancement in machining performance with Conprofe’s Ultrasonic Machining Technology for precision and complex watch part machining. Compared with traditional machine tools, Conprofe’s Ultrasonic-Green Machine Tools can bring more added value to customers by improving the tool life, surface quality and dimensional accuracy. Therefore, the customer is interested in recommending Conprofe’s Ultrasonic-Green Machine Tools to fellow watch manufacturers.
2nd Destination:
One of the Key Aviation Industry Regions in Spain – País Vasco
País Vasco where countless aviation companies, production and research centers and elites are concentrated, is one of 7 Key Regions of the Aviation Industry in Spain. The Conprofe team presented its many innovation application examples in the aviation industry to the local partner. After in-depth discussion both parties were convinced that Conprofe’s Ultrasonic-Green Technologies could demonstrate benefits in high-efficency machining of composites, hard-to-cut metals, hard-brittle materials as well as hole drilling in various materials. The local partner believed there was huge market potential for Conprofe’s Ultrasonic Machine Tools and Ultrasonic Hand-held Pneumatic Drills in the Spanish aviation industry. Both companies hoped to strengthen cooperation in the aviation, automotive and semiconductor industries. They agreed on the direction of forging a machine tool sales center and test cut center for market development in Spain and Portugal.
3rd Destination:
French Aviation Valley – Bordeaux
The team visited several machine tool agents in Bordeaux, France’s Aviation Valley. They discussed the development direction of innovative machining technology in aviation and other fields. Due to the great synergy between Conprofe Ultrasonic Technology and the local aviation industry, cooperation agreements were signed for sales and after-sales services of Conprofe Ultrasonic Machine Tools in the local market.
The visit led to a multitude of cooperation possibilities with partners from Switzerland, Italy, Spain and France, further optimizing the global marketing and service system of Conprofe, and gradually providing European customers with higher-efficiency, more convenient and better services in the near future.
