From February 5 to 7, 2025, the 'YUASA Grand Fair in Thailand,' hosted by Yuasa Trading (Thailand) (Head Office: Yuasa Trading Co., Ltd., in Japan), took place at the BITEC Bang Na Exhibition and Convention Center. This large-scale exhibition brought together over 200 Japanese-affiliated companies, primarily from the manufacturing industry, to showcase innovative technologies and solutions. Takamatsu Machinery has maintained a long-standing relationship with Yuasa Trading in both Japan and Thailand, which led to its participation in this event.

Promoting Automatic Lathes Equipped with an Auto-Loader System

The main purpose of participating in the exhibition was to widely raise awareness of the quality of TAKAMAZ brand lathes. Since this was the first time the event was held in Thailand, the company also aimed to research customer needs and gain experience in the Thai market.

【Main Exhibited Products】
In line with market trends, two types of lathes were showcased, with a focus on the auto-loader system that enhances factory automation.

■ XWT-8 (8-inch) 2-Spindle, 2-Turret Precision Lathe
