Message: | Last week Grossman placed an order for 1,500 hydraulic cartridge valves at one time. I'm not surprised at all. At the Shanghai PTC exhibition the year before last, I met Grossman from a Russian company and talked for more than 30 minutes at the exhibition. After the exhibition, Grossman informed by email that a newly developed hydraulic equipment of their company needs hydraulic cartridge valves, and 20 hydraulic cartridge valves from AAK were tested. This is a non-standard customized hydraulic cartridge valve. After we delivered the goods, Grossman didn't send any email to feed back the situation of AAK goods for half a year. A year later, Grossman placed the reorder of 200 hydraulic cartridge valves of the same model, and there was also no news after delivery. In 2 years, there were only two small orders of hydraulic cartridge valves, but I have a feeling that Grossman is further deeply testing AAK hydraulic cartridge valves.
It was not until last week when there was a large order for hydraulic cartridge valves placed, Grossman then started to describe the ups and downs of purchasing hydraulic cartridge valves in Ningbo. In the past 2 years, Grossman found more than 20 hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers for sample testing and was cheated by some new hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturers. The quality of the test order was OK, but the reorder was complained by customer. For hydraulic cartridge valves purchased from some other factories, there were always complaints after a period of time, such as several leaks or jamming, insensitive opening and closing or serious wear etc.
