JTB is confident that the partnership with YG-1 will meet JTB customers’ drilling, milling and turning, and cutting tools requirements, explains JTB MD Joash David.
“On the indexable side, the solutions offered by JTB and YG-1 are very competitive with regard to the price-versus-performance ratio,” says JTB operations manager Peter Hughes.
The company has secured significant sales for these solutions by providing an “excellent product at a competitive price”, he adds.
