The first-rate local supplier is a must for the global companies to provide better services to the Chinese market as only in this way can the long-term interdependency with customers be established in the increasingly future market competition through the provision of much faster services and much higher cost-performance ratio, while the top famous OEM, as the world’s most respected company in 2017, undoubtedly took the lead in this respect.
The OEM had started sought to purchase abradable coating materials through Chinese local suppliers since 2016 to replace the expensive imported Metco 320NS and Metco 601NS which are not stable in delivery time, and asked UCT and another local manufacturer of thermal spray materials in Beijing to develop the powder materials that can meet its technical requirements. Through one year’s efforts, UCT Beijing took the honor to be chosen as the only supplier of thermal spraying materials in China who passed the certification of the OEM’s headquarter in Germany. At present, UCT’s abradable coating powders, i.e. LF105 (Metco 320NS replacement) and LF109 (Metco 601NS replacement), have been applied in the OEM products across China.
