Packaging and converting line operators
Paper, film, and label converting companies
Crushing, shredding, and recycling equipment companies
Industrial knife traders and distributors
In particular, local Vietnamese machinery manufacturers showed the strongest interest, and many discussions led to direct purchasing and distribution inquiries.
4. Key Inquiries and Discussion Topics
The most frequent topics and requests during the exhibition were:
Custom production of SKD11 / SKH51 slitter knives
Crusher blade repeat orders (both sharpening and new production)
Precision circular knives with grinding tolerance around ±0.01 mm
Possibility of OEM knife supply
Feasibility of regular supply to Vietnam and Thailand
Many Southeast Asian companies showed strong interest in HD KNIFE’s precision grinding quality and viewed “Made in Korea” origin as a major competitive advantage.

Overall, the feedback on the consistent quality of Korean industrial knives supplied by HD KNIFE was very positive.
6. Future Strategy for the Southeast Asian Market
Based on our participation in METALEX Vietnam, HD KNIFE will pursue the following strategies:
Primary focus on Vietnam as the first target market
Gradual development of local distributors/agents
Strengthening a sample → test → contract structure for regular-order customers
Continued follow-up meetings and online consultations after the exhibition
Through sample orders and test runs with Vietnamese manufacturers, HD KNIFE aims to increase the share of overseas sales in 2025.
7. Conclusion
HD KNIFE will continue to strengthen its global competitiveness as an industrial knife manufacturer based on precision grinding technology.
Leveraging the insights and partnerships gained from METALEX Vietnam 2025, we plan to expand further into overseas markets and establish HD KNIFE as a trusted industrial knife partner in Southeast Asia and beyond.
