Ocean Apart, Success Together! “Hwacheon is probably the most underrated brand in the US. Most don’t know they are the #1 selling brand in Korea. Such a versatile lineup, and nothing but quality from top to bottom.” This is a direct quote from Ken Parent, Owner of Parent Manufacturing, from a recent post about Hwacheon Machinery America, Inc. on the MTDCNC Asia page. But today, we’re going to focus on partnerships here in the US with Alan Wessels, VP of Sales, at Productivity Inc. Imagine navigating a ship through the tumultuous seas—the journey of Korean machine tools to American factories. The vast physical distance between these two powerhouses of industry underscores the profound importance of strong, responsive, and resilient partnerships. It’s not merely about making machines; it’s about making those machines work seamlessly in an environment thousands of miles away from their origin. Good partnerships in this globalized context mean having a local presence, where #Korean companies employ local American experts to ensure that the installation, maintenance, and servicing of machinery are as smooth as possible. This local support acts as a bridge over the expansive ocean, ensuring that help is always within reach, not halfway around the world. Let’s have a watch and listen to my buddy, Alan, and see what he has to say about the #Hwacheon and #Productivity partnership.
