HK Diversifies Product Lineup, Aims to Become a "Total Solutions Provider" for Sheet Metal Fabrication

Laser processing machine specialist HK is expanding its business scope by diversifying its product lineup.

On October 29, HK said sales of its deburring machines, press brakes and welding machines rose 76% this year compared with the previous year. The increase reflects how the market position it established with its flagship laser cutting equipment has translated into sales of other product lines.

HK has expanded its machine tool lineup beyond laser cutting equipment to include related post-processing, bending and welding equipment. The company said this is part of its strategy to become a "total solutions provider" covering the entire sheet metal fabrication process. HK aims to provide integrated equipment and solutions for the processes involved in sheet metal fabrication, including laser cutting, post-processing, bending and welding.

The company plans to continue pursuing this strategy and expand its business into automation solutions that improve coordination between processes and production efficiency. Through this, it plans to provide customers with an integrated solutions system that enables them to set up and operate their entire sheet metal fabrication process.

An HK representative said, "Our flagship high-power fiber laser cutting machines have established themselves in both the domestic and global markets and become a core product that generates revenue every year. Going forward, we will anticipate demand and go beyond supplying individual machines to provide integrated solutions that connect customers' entire production processes, from cutting and bending to welding and automation, thereby contributing to higher productivity and more efficient operations."
