Vapormatt Ltd, a specialist in wet blast cleaning and surface treatment technology, has teamed with Shanghai-based trading company Longyear to develop Vapormatt’s sales, marketing and technical support activities in the vigorous wire manufacturing and associated production sectors in the Peoples’ Republic of China. Longyear joins a number of existing Vapormatt agents and distributors operating in other areas of manufacturing in China. Commenting on the new agency agreement, Vapormatt’s sales director, Mick Teague, said: “We are very excited about the prospect of increasing the sales of our latest wire processing technology in China – where we already have a number of wet blast machines in operation – and look forward to developing a close working relationship with Longyear. “As well as providing a high level of productivity and quality, our wet blast systems are particularly environmentally friendly, which we know is a very important factor in Chinese manufacturing industry today.” Vapormatt has also been forging relationships elsewhere, with the recent appointment of Turkish company, Mirayla Metal Makine Kimya San veTic Ltd STI as its agent in Turkey. Mirayla has over 40 years’ experience in wire, rod and tube production and will act as the exclusive agent in Turkey for the UK designed and made Vapormatt ‘Profelis’ wet blast wire cleaning and surface preparation machines.
