PHASA
STAKES A CLAIM
FOR
INCREASED EXPORT BUSINESS
New
Agent Provides Sales and Customer Support in
China
UK
company
PHASA Developments®
based in
Essex
is
aiming to boost overseas sales of its advanced plastic
assembly technology by the appointment of Beijing
Feise Plastic Riveting & Welding Technology Co., Ltd.
to
handle
sales and support for its products into
China
.
Located in Beijing with outlets to the four corners of the
country, the company draws on many years of hands-on
experience within the plastics manufacturing sectors and is
headed by Mr. Baowei Wu.
“Beijing
Feise’s understanding
and wide practical skills within our market sector and an
ability to communicate and work with European companies make
them an ideal partner for us,” comments PHASA’s Business
Manager,
Tony
Woods
.
“We already supply hot air staking equipment to a
number of leading motor industry OEMs and tier one
contractors for use on vehicle door finishers, under bonnet
parts, electronic equipment, lamp systems and safety
critical devices.
Their
knowledge and established contacts at the heart of the
Chinese automotive industry will be a major factor in
enabling us to significantly increase export sales to this
sector in the future.”
Not
that PHASA’s advanced thermoplastic fastening process is
limited to vehicle applications.
The process employs the principle of accurately
directing high temperature air on to pre-moulded pegs, ribs
or collars so that they can be re-shaped, clamped and cooled
into new forms. The
fastening method provides key benefits of short cycle times,
minimal handling of parts, elimination of bought-in threaded
fasteners or clips, high repeatability and the need for only
visual inspection. The
process effectively de-skills assembly operations, making it
equally suitable for a wide range of applications across the
domestic appliance, IT, telecommunications, defence, leisure
and security equipment sectors.
“Plastic
Hot air staking is already well established in the
Europe
,”
Mr Woods continues. “And
with a number of projects in the general manufacturing field
already in hand with
Beijing
Feise,
we are confident of mirroring and building upon the success
already achieved throughout
Europe
.”
