Dear Valued Customers in Japan,

Due to our growing Japanese business in Europe, Asia and the Americas, Bodycote established a sales office in Japan in March 2008. We would like to thank our valued Japanese clients for their business thus far and we look forward to growing our business wherever in the world our Japanese customers are located.

We have chosen to headquarter our Japan operations in Nagoya due to its proximity to automotive and aerospace industries, to which we can provide a wide range of metallurgical solutions. Local companies may have existing in-house heat treatment capabilities but may wish to consider the benefits of outsourcing their heat treatment requirements to Bodycote, enabling them to focus their resources upon core activities.

The world’s most respected and innovative engineering companies are realising the benefits of long-term relationships with Bodycote, and we look forward to developing new relationships and providing international metallurgical support to our Japanese customers.

Warm regards,

Stephen Harris
