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
.”
