Cevotec has given Fuji Industries the license to exclusively represent Cevotec in Japan and Thailand and sell the entire range of Cevotec products. The two have signed an exclusive representation and reseller agreement in this connection. Munich-based automation specialist Cevotec helps manufacturers build complex composites in high volume and quality.

“With some of the world’s largest fibre manufacturers based in Japan, this is a very important market for composites,” stated Thorsten Groene, managing director of Cevotec. “Already in 2017, at the launch of SAMBA production system at JEC World, strong interest from Japanese manufacturers in Fibre Patch Placement technology became apparent. After deepening existing contacts and establishing new ones during a delegation trip to Japan in 2018 by our CTO Felix Michl, we decided to serve the Japanese market structurally with Fuji Industries an established partner with excellent network in aerospace and other composite-intensive industries.”

Fuji Industries identified Fibre Patch Placement technology in 2017. “FPP technology has the potential to revolutionise composites industry,” stated Makoto Nitta, senior managing director at Fuji, responsible for composites products. “It immediately caught our attention.” Now, Fuji Industries and Cevotec establish an exclusive sales and marketing partnership for the Japanese and Thai market.

“We are delighted to have found such an experienced and established partner for Japan and Thailand,” confirmed Felix Michl, CTO of Cevotec. Fuji Industries draws on decades-long experience in the composites market. With more than 70 years of successful history, the company is a trusted supplier for high-tech products for the Japanese industry, in particular aerospace. “We believe that Fuji Industries’ longstanding customer relationships, especially in the aviation industry, will open up new business opportunities for us.”

Junji Yamada, president of Fuji Industries, said: “We are glad to partner with a dynamic technology leader as Cevotec. Their unique Fibre Patch Placement systems are serving exactly those automation needs we can observe specifically in the Japanese composites industry.”

Fuji is exclusively licensed to represent Cevotec and offer all Cevotec products in Japan and Thailand. The partners also collaborate closely in customer service to provide turnkey solutions including after-sales services and support.
