Background of Distributorship Agreement:
In Southeast Asia, the textile industry is experiencing a significant transformation, with manufacturing bases shifting from China to countries like Vietnam. Vietnam has emerged as a global leader in sewing, catering to textile industries not only in Japan and the US but also worldwide. Recent trends indicate a notable increase in fabric production in Vietnam, signaling a departure from its traditional focus on sewing. Moreover, Vietnam’s status as a global business hub is on the rise, attracting investments such as South Korea’s electronics factories.
Since its inception in 1972, Kato Tech has been a forefront in fabric texture measurement technology, assisting researchers worldwide in validating fabric “hand feel.” Our product range extends beyond textiles to address evolving industry needs, including our Puncture Strength Tester for electric vehicle (EV) technology. To meet the growing demand resulting from the expansion of EV manufacturing in China, we relocated our Shanghai office in February to strengthen our presence in the Asian market.
Japanese-made inspection and measurement equipment are highly regarded in Vietnam, thanks to favorable import tariffs. Leveraging this market advantage, we are committed to enhancing local sales, promoting the production of higher-quality fabrics, and supporting advancements in sectors such as mobile phones, batteries, and automotive product development and quality management.
