Highly versatile collet holders are widely used in drilling with machining centers. NT Tool Thai sells NT・MEVIUS as a collet holder for the ASEAN market. In this article, we will introduce the functions and features of this product.
"NT-MEVIUS" is the Asian version collet holder
The “NT-MEVIUS” collet chuck for the ASEAN region went on sale in 2014. In Thailand and Southeast Asia, NT Tool collet holders made in Japan were originally sold, but price competition intensified as more Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese manufacturers began supplying similar products at lower prices. “NT-MEVIUS" was newly launched as a product to counter this trend. Think of it as an Asian version collet holder.
In order to reduce costs as much as possible and to be competitive in Asia, "NT-MEVIUS" is manufactured at NT Tool's factory in Thailand and sold from Thailand to customers in Southeast Asia. By changing the production site to Thailand and local production for local consumption, we have been able to reduce the price to about half of what it used to be.
Manufactured in accordance with the Japanese QC system, using the same conventional production methods and equipment
Even though it is manufactured in Thailand and the price is kept down, its quality and performance are not compromised in any way when compared to products from Japanese brands. Although we have achieved cost reductions by changing the design somewhat, reducing the number of parts, and performing "black coating" in-house to resist rust, we manufacture our products in accordance with the strict QC system in Japan, using the same production methods and equipment as conventional products. With a high accuracy of 4d=7μm, this collet holder combines high cost-performance with Japanese quality. This is "NT-MEVIUS".
Thanks to the support of our customers, sales of "NT-MEVIUS" have been steadily increasing since its launch in 2014. The user-friendly and easy-to-use operability are popular points of the product, but the durability is especially appreciated by customers who have adopted it.
No matter how excellent the performance is, it is meaningless if it becomes unusable immediately. "NT-MEVIUS" achieves high resistance worthy of being called Japanese quality. No complaints and high customer-satisfaction are the result of products developed in accordance with the quality standards required in Japan.
Becoming a strategic product throughout India and Southeast Asia
As a result of nearly 10 years of sales in the ASEAN market, the penetration of “NT-MEVIUS” in ASEAN is progressing smoothly. Currently, the best-selling country is Vietnam. It already accounts for 70% to 80% of total sales. The number of customers implementing it continues to increase.
In the future, we will focus on developing the Malaysian, Indonesian, and Philippine markets, and even India, in order to expand our sales and further establish its presence as a strategic product throughout Southeast Asia.
