Thai Hibex has been handling tape/label/film dispensers of Yaesu Keikogyo, the world pioneer of tape dispensers, as an authorized distributor in Thailand for about 10 years.
In this article, together with Mr. Ogasawara of Yaesu Keikogyo Co., Ltd., we will introduce the features of the products and the collaborations of the two companies.
Lineup of YAESU tape and label dispensers that are contributing to streamlining of manufacturing sites
Yaesu Keikogyo (hereinafter "YAESU") was originally a manufacturer of power supply parts for model trains, radio-controlled toy cars/planes, and electric screwdrivers. The tape dispensers, which are the mainstay of the current business, were created from customer demand.
Under the motto "Cut Tape and Cost," the company supplies products and services not only in Japan but to more than 70 countries around the world.
In particular, the “ZCUT Series” tape dispenser has obtained trademark registration in Japan and is a product in high demand in the Thai market.

The Hibex Group is expanding sales of YAESU products in Thailand as well as in Southeast Asia. Thai Hibex also has electric screwdrivers as one of its main products. Since screw tightening and tape fastening / labeling are often performed in the same assembly process, they are a good combination for our customers, and we feel that demand is increasing every year.
“Thai Hibex has always been very supportive in sales of YAESU products and providing after-sales service in Thailand. Basic maintenance and parts replacement are provided with the skills including Thai staff, so we can rely on them with confidence. During the pandemic, we have been sharing information online and communicating in detail. In recent years, the number of customization requests for full automation is gradually increasing. We would like to strengthen our cooperation with Thai Hibex so that we can continue to respond flexibly to the requests of our customers in Southeast Asia," says Mr. Ogasawara of YAESU.
The basic lineup is fully stocked in Thailand, and can be delivered immediately for small lots.
We also have demo units available for our main dispensers (ZCUT/LDX), so customers can test them with actual tapes they are using on site.
