| Message: | Kadin is from Turkey. They have many stores selling hydraulic cartridge valves in Turkey, and the market competition is very fierce. At the beginning of last year, Kadin needed to purchase a batch of hydraulic directional control valves benchmarking SUN. AAK also received his inquiry, but we gave up because the target price was too low. Kadin placed the order with another manufacturer of hydraulic directional control valves in Ningbo. 9 months later, a customer complained of severe wear on the valve body edges and leakage from the hydraulic directional control valve. Per the original hydraulic directional control valve manufacturer, he uses industry standard 45 steel to produce valve bodies, which can be guaranteed to be wear-resistant for more than 1 year. If the usage frequency is too high, it can only last for 9 months. Kadin was very helpless. He contacted more than 10 other hydraulic valve manufacturers in China. They all stated that the 45 steel valve bodies cannot guarantee a service life of more than 1 year under high-frequency operating conditions. If using other stronger materials, the price is much higher, which is not suitable for the Turkey market. |
