Industry and Trade Newspaper:Many people know that Tatsuno oil dispensers produced and distributed by Petrolimex Petroleum Equipment Joint Stock Company but they do not know on what agreement they are produced and by what procedure they are made.

We visited the plant of PECO and would like to introduce to you.

Engineers and workers of PECO assembling oil dispensers

At the time being, PECO is producing two categories of goods.

The first category of 100% Japanese origin i.e. equipment, components, calculating devices and the cover are Japanese made imported by PECO in SKD form. The products have Tatsuno brand name according to The Agreement on Technical Cooperation and Technology Transfer PE/TATSN/NMR-DP/2012 signed on Aug.24. 2012 between Peco-Tatsuno and Nomura. This category consists of models : Sunny-Rex, Sunny-ST, NEO-Sunny and Sunny-XE. The assembly is made according to Japanese experts’ training, instructions, and annual audit in order to guaranty quality and brand prestige.

Next to it, PECO turns out the second category with PECO brand name. These category products have some localized contents: the important items remain from Japan, others are imported from third countries. These category products are marked as PECO1 to PECO5. The quality and accuracy remain assured but the cost is lower which is suitable to some market areas.

Dispenser calibration before delivery

All dispensers are to be inspected and calibrated up to standard before export. PECO is responsible for product quality by mandate from Vietnam General Department of Standard, Measurement and Quality, and subject to the latter’s mandatory surveillance and inspection.
