Message: | Walt placed an order for 1000 hydraulic threaded cartridge valves at one time last week, which surprised me. Three years ago, I met Walt from an American company at the Shanghai PTC exhibition. He communicated with us at our booth for more than half an hour. After the exhibition, Walt sent an email saying that his company happened to have a newly developed hydraulic equipment, which needs to use hydraulic threaded cartridge valves. He asked AAK to urgently provide 30 samples of hydraulic threaded cartridge valves according to his drawings. AAK sent out 30 hydraulic threaded cartridge valves after 25 days. After this, there was no inquiry for any hydraulic threaded cartridge valves from him. Half a year later, Walt sent a new test order of 40pcs for another new hydraulic threaded cartridge valve. Same as last time, there is no further news after delivery. In this way, we just received 2 test orders in about 2 years.
I thought that there should be a mistake on the quantity of this large order of hydraulic threaded cartridge valve this time. After several rounds of emails, we know the story for this hydraulic threaded cartridge valve. Their company has only begun to purchase hydraulic valves from China in recent 3 years. For the hydraulic threaded cartridge valves purchased at the beginning, there are always complaints from customers after a period of time, such as leakage or jamming, insensitive opening and closing or serious wear and tear, etc. In the past 2 years, Walt also tried samples from more than 20 hydraulic valve manufacturers. The same problems still occur after each replacement. Only AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valves have not received a complaint.
Walt compared more than 20 suppliers for 2 years, and only AAK hydraulic threaded cartridge valves had no complaints. This time, he strongly suggested his owner that the future hydraulic threaded cartridge valves can only be purchased from AAK. |
