Moment of Focus: When Technology Becomes the World's Language

Speaker:Lily Li,Sales Managers, Leichman

When the doors to Hall H3 of the Shanghai New International Expo Center opened on March 3, the Leichman booth became the center of a global conversation.I was hosting an automotive parts supplier from Brazil, Marcos, who pointed to the LK200MSY twin-spindle mill-turn machine at the show and asked, "Can this machine machine smoothly machine motorcycle engine blocks?" Our engineer, Lee, loaded up a titanium sample, and a few minutes later, a perfectly threaded valve stem came out.Marcos filmed the process and sent it to his team, who was clearly pleased with the results.

Over the four days of the event, Leichman's machines attracted more than 900 international visitors from 32 countries.

Voices from the Floor: “We Don’t Need Magic, Just Reliability”

Case 1: The Durability Test – Dubai's Desert ChallengeKhalid, a metal fabrication plant owner from the UAE, showed a video of his sand-blasted workshop on his phone. "Our machines keep failing in this," he sighed. The Leichman team showed off the LK200L Turret Lathe's IP65-rated seals and corrosion-resistant coating. Khalid's eyes lit up.

Case 2: Small Batch, Big Dreams – Vietnam's Startup Hustle Thao, a young entrepreneur from Hanoi, leaned over the LK160 Compact Turret Lathe: "We make custom brass fittings for French clients. Can this little machine handle 20 different designs a day?"Engineer Chen swapped tools in seconds, machining a connector with a floral pattern. And that made Thao happy.

Case 3: The Language Barrier – Brazil's "No-Expert" WorkforceA São Paulo factory manager, Carlos, confessed: "Our workers aren't engineers." So, Leichman came up with a solution: the LK200MY's icon-driven interface with Portuguese prompts.Carlos filmed a 30-second demo and texted his foreman, "Even João could run this!"

Some words from Coco:  Here are some customer needs that we've heard from them.
1. "We need machine tools that can handle sand and dust storms.
60% of Middle Eastern buyers say that dust and corrosion protection features are a top priority.
2. "Teach us, not just sell us."
Customers in Southeast Asia have asked for local language training videos using QR links.
3. "Small batches, fast changeover
European job shops need to set up customized parts in less than 10 minutes.

Leichman's is working on it.

Beyond Machines: Partnerships Forged in Metal
The real magic happened between demo sessions:
- A Turkish manufacturer shared kebab skewers with engineers while discussing aluminum alloy settings.
- A Kenyan buyer swapped wildfire stories with the sales team, bonding over machine cooling systems.
An Italian designer sketched some art deco railing designs on a napkin and asked, "Can your LK160 make this?" (Spoiler: It did.)

What's next? 

Visitors leave with a global roadmap in mind:

"Your 'No Workshop Left Behind' slogan? We're going to make that happen for you." - CEO, Indonesia Auto Parts

"Let's build a training center in Mexico." - Representative of the Monterrey Industrial Park

Leichman supports on-site machine inspections and remote programming.

Leichman – We're not just building machines. We're building bridges between precision and possibility.
