New partnership in Japan: Cooperation with successful system integrator Pony Industry Co., Ltd.

1. December 2013

Pony Industry Co., Ltd. is a new experienced partner alongside X-RAY WorX. Together both companies will market and support their microfocus X-ray solutions for NDT applications in the Japanese market.

Pony Industry Co., Ltd. was established in 1965 by Non-Destructive Inspection Co., Ltd. (NDIC). Since then, the system integrator built up a considerable knowledge about X-ray technology as well as installation and maintenance of X-ray systems. Beside microfocus X-ray inspection systems, the company sells amongst others XRF analysis systems, XRF analyzers, X-ray cameras, and microfocus X-ray generators. The range of products is completed by consulting and versatile technical services. Pony Industry’s customer base includes well-known companies from different industries worldwide. Their head quarter is located in Osaka with subsidiaries in Tokyo, Keiyo (Chiba), Kobe, Takasago, Chubu (Nagoya), Hitachi, Fukushima, and a factory in Kumatori.

“Due to the knowledge of the Japanese market in combination with technological expertise of microfocus X-ray systems, Pony Industry is the perfect partner for us”, says Holger Behnsen, managing director of X-RAY WorX and adds: “As a system integrator, Pony Industry does not only sell X-ray systems. They also take care of installation and maintenance of X-ray systems and X-ray tubes. In this manner, end-customers profit directly from the comprehensive knowledge of both companies and short lines of communication.”

At present, especially microfocus rod anode X-ray tubes for aviation, aerospace and energy markets are in the focus of the cooperation. Pony Industry has already proven expertise in these industries and made a name for itself by numerous successful projects. X-RAY WorX supplies the required microfocus rod anode tubes – based on proven technologies – along with future-oriented developments for increasingly more complex and sophisticated applications.

The close cooperation between X-RAY WorX and Pony Industry is also emphasized by regular personal contacts like support at trade shows as well as joint press briefings and publications on technical subjects.
