The tiger leap with HiPIMS in southeast asia

Sustainable investment in CemeCon coating technology

In India and Southeast Asia, the machining sector is growing steadily, and high-performance precision tools are in hot demand.With CemeCon’s coating technology, more and more tool manufacturers are gaining competitive advantages there.

Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam – Southeast Asia, home to more than 650 million people, is developing rapidly. “Alongside India, the ASEAN countries are among the most promising markets. The economic upswing there is tangible. Now with the end of the pandemic, I see great opportunities,” says Manish Adwani, Managing Director of the newly founded Indian CemeCon subsidiary, who has been serving CemeCon customers in India for a long time in close cooperation with Würselen. Manish Adwani: “Especially for medium-sized tool manufacturers, our coating technology is a sustainable investment to secure competitive advantages, as for example in India: With a new HiPIMS Turnkey Project, Accusharp Cutting Tools Pvt. Ltd. in Pune underlines with HiPIMS its role as innovation leader. Word of this success has also spread in Southeast Asia, and we have been able to convince new partners of our premium coatings.”

From training to installation, everything online

Always and everywhere online – in this region of the world in particular, is all digitally networked. For example, the entire commissioning of the coating systems at WPP Engineering, Thailand and Geswinn Indonesia was also carried out online. Manish Adwani: “The intensive on-site training at the world’s largest coating center in Würselen is an essential part of our quality and service promise. We fulfill this online, just as we do with face-to-face training. For this, the CemeCon team threw themselves into the new task with passion and presented fascinating new solutions.” During the online installation, CemeCon’s experts guide the customer technicians live via video streaming step by step through the process and explain all the details of the technology. In principle, this is similar to an online live batch: There, CemeCon shows tool manufacturers in a 1-to-1 dialog what is possible today in the coating of precision tools and how easy it is to handle the systems.

“These two examples prove it: We are keeping our promise of quality and service in these extraordinary times. Our team has the service gene and always finds a way to the customer. We offer support at any time for questions about CemeCon coating technology with the full range of possibilities, via online diagnostics, with our service hotline or during a visit,” adds Manish Adwani.
