It is fearless and piloting a spaceship called 'Coating',
Traveling all the way to the dreamlike poetry and distant places.

First| Surviving from adversity is an opportunity

For an entrepreneur, the Lion Rock Spirit is a symbol of the fighting spirit of Hong Kong people. It is a spirit of meaningless success or failure and a serious life.

In the early 1990s, Mr. Davis Kwok , who graduated from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Science and Technology, was preparing to enter society. He found his first job in a radio company. He actively participates in every aspect from research and development to production and quality control. In the eyes of others, he looks like a superhero, always with an infinite vitality, as if his energy is never depleted. But only he knows in his heart that all the driving force comes from love, and this spirit has always been present throughout his entire entrepreneurial career. Later, the radio industry was impacted by the television and mobile phone industries, and Mr. Kwok 's company also faced bankruptcy, but he was not discouraged. The Lion Rock spirit of Hong Kong people is fully reflected in him, who is not afraid of failure and moves forward bravely.

Afterwards, he joined a Swiss machinery trading company and was assigned to Guangdong to promote electric spark machines. With an engineering background, he had never been exposed to marketing work, so he had to learn business communication skills from scratch. That year was 1993, when a three bedroom unit in the first city of Sha Tin had a market value of only one million yuan, but a single electrical discharge machining equipment cost over a million yuan. The difficulty of its sales can be imagined! But Mr. Kwok, who is naturally unwilling to give up, opened up the market with his professional sincerity.

Mr. Kwok 's communication partners are all senior technical personnel and bosses from Switzerland. This job has established two advantages for him, one is to master the boss's thinking and abilities, and the other is to establish a deep relationship with Swiss people.

Shortly after, the Swiss foreign company was acquired, and Mr. Kwok became a partner with his former employer, responsible for promoting Swiss high-speed machining centers in Hong Kong and Guangdong. At that time, he rented a small office in Tsuen Wan and worked tirelessly with three subordinates to promote and sell, achieving impressive results. After leaving his employer, he founded Asian Techmart Limited , which mainly provides coating processing services and equipment sales for cutting tools and molds.

Techmart sowed the seeds of coating at this time; No one can predict how it will develop.

At the beginning of entrepreneurship, although the company only had 4 people, Mr. Kwok did not want to miss any opportunities and refused any legal and reasonable orders. Honesty is a red line in his heart, and completing each order with quality and quantity is his silent promise to customers. Until today, "Heaven rewards diligence" remains an important concept in the development of Techmart. Only by treating people with sincerity can loyal customers be retained.

2008 was a lucky year for Kehui, as a businessman named 'Steve Jobs' brought a new turning point to the company's situation. That's right, he is Steve Jobs, one of the creators of Apple computers, who had an extreme pursuit of appearance, decided to use special materials as the shell of the new phone. As the new shell could not be manufactured by traditional stamping technology and required special tool coating to process the perfect Apple phone shell, only Techmart had the ability to complete it in the southern region of China at that time.

This order not only brought me substantial profits, but also taught me a lesson. What is a famous brand? A famous brand means that out of 100 products, 100 are boutique, not 99. "Mr. Kwok sighed," It's not great to put in enough effort in what you can see, but to achieve excellence in what you can't see. "He made up his mind to strive for technological excellence and made sure to make the" Techmart "brand a famous brand.

Time has proven that this company has since grown rapidly and become a leading enterprise in the field of coatings nationwide.

Second| Techmart 's  journey to the moon is not the end

In 2013, Techmart was invited by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to participate in a research with unknown details. This study has very strict requirements for the coating, and the technical team has changed the formula dozens of times, finally developing a diamond-like coating containing diamond and graphene.

After the launch of Chang'e-5, Mr. Kwok received a notification that he had also made contributions to this lunar exploration. He suddenly realized that the thought of himself personally handling the coating and carrying out a mission on the distant moon was particularly unbelievable. At that time, one of the challenges in lunar sampling was the large temperature difference on the surface of the moon, with day night temperature differences reaching hundreds of degrees Celsius. Therefore, the components require a special coating that is lubricated and wear-resistant to provide strong adhesion and prevent the coating from bursting due to thermal shrinkage.

To me, assisting the development of the national aerospace industry is not only an honor, but also an inspiration. We should continue to improve and reach new heights, "he sighed. Later on, he increased his investment in scientific research, actively participated in industry exchanges, and provided new ideas for the development of the industry. He has accumulated a wealth of experience and is only waiting to continue writing a wonderful paragraph.

At present, there is still a considerable gap between China's coating technology and some European countries, but Mr. Kwok believes that China will catch up or even surpass in a very short period of time. "In the past, most of the bosses in the hardware industry were workers, but now many entrepreneurs have college degrees or above. Since the reform and opening up, the country's educational strength has improved, and the quality of entrepreneurs will naturally rise, and their technical strength will also rise to a new height." He proudly said, "And we Chinese are very diligent, fast and efficient, and this era is more prone to hard work."

The real economy is the lifeline of national economic development, and manufacturing is the most important and fundamental component of the real economy. Only when the manufacturing industry is stable can the real economy be stable, and the macroeconomic situation can be stable. As a company known for its expertise in technology, Techmart is striving to enhance its technological strength in order to maintain a competitive advantage in the market.

People are valuable resources for enterprises, and Techmart continues to recruit and cultivate high-precision talents to build a strong elite team.

Mr. David Kwok  two children are currently studying within Techmart. He cultivates his successors through subtle influence and personal example, creating the most suitable sunshine and soil for the rooting and sprouting of the "century old enterprise". The next 20, 50, and 100 years are just around the corner for Techmart.

Third| Techmart helps state-owned enterprises climb new heights

Techmart is committed to helping domestic cutting tools improve their product level, aligning domestic cutting tools with international standards as soon as possible, and achieving the first national hard alloy cutting tool coating by 2030. In order to ensure the maximum effectiveness of coating quality for customers, Techmart continues to introduce multiple advanced coating equipment from Europe. Now the group has advanced CNC machining centers and coating research laboratories for cutting testing. Various testing equipment is used for wear resistance testing, nanohardness, bonding strength, adhesion, high temperature oxidation resistance, red hardness testing, etc., to quickly connect, analyze, and provide feedback on the special needs of the market and customers.

Techmart adopts Swiss technology, and its partners in Switzerland are PhDs from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. For decades, this partner has been researching and continuously optimizing PVD technology, making improvements for every future possibility. Mr. Kwok believes that Swiss people may not necessarily be the smartest people in the world, but this cultural habit has enabled them to create the world's most sophisticated equipment and instruments, making precision, stability, and reliability the characteristics of Swiss machines.

Although Techmart is a Chinese brand, it has some Swiss DNA in its blood. Swiss century old enterprises are everywhere, and Techmart is also striving to build its own century old brand for Chinese people. In the development process of more than 20 years, from a small company to today's medium-sized enterprise, it should be slightly conservative compared to other similar enterprises. We strive for stability, not blindly expanding or rushing for quick results. Every step we take, we strive to be solid and steady, "Mr. Kwok said seriously.

Nowadays, Techmart has successively passed the ISO9001:2015 quality management system certification and awarded multiple industry professional certificates, such as the "Enterprise Product Standard Execution Certificate" and the "Intelligent Manufacturing Capability Maturity Standard Compliance Certificate". Techmart is also a shining business card - Honorary President of the Hong Kong Foundry Association, Honorary Fellow of the Hong Kong Industrial Accreditation Council, Director of the Hong Kong Mold and Product Technology Association, Executive Director of the China Knife Association, Vice President of the Dongguan tool Association, Senior Engineer of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, etc. This year, it won the "MM AWARD Metal Processing Innovation Product Award" and the "Jung Technology Innovation Award" in 2024. The coronation of honor is the catalyst for the advancement of Techmart. Long winds and waves will sometimes break through, and the sails will sail straight through the sea.

Many companies of the same type have a wide range of products, including tool coatings, as well as products for fields such as molds, aerospace, and automotive components. Techmart's application coverage in tool coating has become a benchmark in the industry, and its coating application in injection molds, hardware molds, and die-casting molds has also extended to different industries, such as home appliances, medical, packaging, powder metallurgy, semiconductors, and other markets.

With the advanced reform of technology and the rapid development of domestic manufacturing industry, the market's demand for coating technology has become more stringent, from thin to thick, from single-layer to multi-layer. Kehui will focus on four major market demand points: semiconductor component coatings, medical biocompatible coatings, ESD anti-static coatings, and new energy energy-saving and wear-resistant coatings, to enhance its technological level and provide customers with precise and stable coating solutions. Only through continuous breakthroughs and innovation can we have widespread acclaim and win greater and longer applause.
