KMT becomes the sector leader in the Chinese aftermarket

KMT’s subsidiary, UVA, has signed a collaboration agreement with Auto-Hengda, a service company in Beijing, China. The agreement will enable KMT to broaden and intensify further its offer to existing Chinese customers in the aftermarket sector.

Thanks to Auto-Hengda’s considerable experience and organisation, KMT can now offer an extensive, advanced and rapid service within the precision grinding sector. The offer also includes major reconstruction and repairs, which KMT has not been able to carry out in Asia so far. As a result, the Group is further strengthening its position in the expanding Chinese market. ”Thanks to this agreement, we now offer the best service of all the operators in our niche in the Chinese market. Although we were previously very good compared to our competitors, we are now raising our offer to a completely new level”, says Per-Arne Wolpher, General Manager of UVA in China. ”This is a very important strategic step which we have strived to achieve for a long time. We now have a very strong aftermarket offer in all our three main markets, China, Western Europe and the USA,” says Johan Söderström, President of UVA.
