WHY REGISTER

Benefits of member registration

Once you register, you can send inquiries to listed companies and download their catalogs. Registration is free. Just three items - your name, company name and email address - and you can start straight away.

Once registered, you gain all of the following benefits.

Inquire and obtain catalogs

“I want to contact a company I found.”

Sending an inquiry to a listed company and downloading a catalog both start with registering. Register once, and you can contact a promising company the moment you find it.

Keep a record of the companies you contacted

“I requested quotes from three companies, but I cannot remember what I sent to each one.”

Your inquiry history lists the date and time, company and inquiry type. Select View Details to open each inquiry.

Keep a record of companies you viewed

“I cannot remember the name of the company I liked last week.”

Your browsing history records when you viewed which page for which company. You can return without searching again.

Download catalogs again

“I deleted the PDF I downloaded / I want to send it to a colleague.”

You can download a catalog again at any time from the blue button in your download history. You do not need to complete the form again.

Keep candidates together

“I want to collect candidates and show them to my manager.”

Save companies, products and catalogs that interest you to Favorite, then review them together later.

Log in without entering a password

“I do not want another password to remember.”

If you choose email authentication, you can log in without entering a password. Enter your registered email address to receive a login URL.

User Menu after login
After login, you can use this screen (User Menu). Your browsing history, inquiry history, catalog download history, Favorites and account settings are all available here. You can also change the display language with Language at the top left.

Before you register

Simply registering does not share your information with listed companies

Your personal information is shared with a listed company only when you send an inquiry or when you download a catalog. Simply registering does not share it.

Change your information or cancel your membership later

You can change your registered information, password and email address yourself at any time. You can also cancel your membership.

Free of charge

Visitor registration is free of charge.

Member registration is free

After registration, you can review the companies you viewed in your browsing history.

TIPS

Useful tips

Even for the same search, following this order helps you narrow candidates faster.

Start by narrowing by province (Area)

This is the most effective filter because the distance to a factory cannot be changed later. Start with areas such as Samut Prakan, Chonburi, Rayong and Chachoengsao.

If there are too few results, remove the employee-count filter

Remove conditions in this order: employee count → widen the province selection → move up one subcategory. Use keyword search last.

Continue to the third equipment level

Equipment search has three levels: group → equipment → machine type. Stopping at the second level may lead you to mistakenly think there are too few matches.

Use keywords within a category

It is faster to open a category and narrow the results with its keyword field than to search the entire site. Material and brand names are effective.

Check a company's capabilities under the Technology / Service tab

A company profile alone does not show everything. Each process includes photos showing what the parts are used for.

Click to display the phone number and URL

On the company page, press Display phone number / Display URL to show them.

Use Bulk Inquiry to request multiple quotes

Select the checkboxes, then use Bulk Inquiry. Every company receives the same requirements, so you can compare the replies side by side. If the questions differ, the replies cannot be compared.

Use Knowledge when you know only the symptoms

Starting with a problem such as “the filter clogs quickly” or “the water in the paint booth gets dirty quickly,” you can find solutions and companies.

CONTACT

Inquire with one company

Open the inquiry form from Contact on the company page. Check the inquiry type, message, attachments and consent to the handling of personal information.

Inquiry form
The required fields are name, company name, country and email address. You can attach drawings and photos up to 10 MB (JPEG, PNG, GIF, PDF, ZIP or LZH).

Information that helps the recipient evaluate your request

The information you enter and your contact details will be sent to the selected listed company. Personal information is handled according to the policy shown in the consent section of the form.
If you have a deadline, write it in your inquiry. Response times are not guaranteed. Using the inquiry form for advertising, promotion or sales activities is prohibited.

MULTIPLE CONTACTS

Send the same inquiry to multiple candidates

When checkboxes and Bulk Inquiry are displayed in the search results, you can send one inquiry to the selected companies.

Every company receives the same requirements, so you can compare the replies side by side. A comparison is meaningful only when the questions are identical.
When using Bulk Inquiry, confirm the recipients and entered content on screen. Member registration is required to make an inquiry.

Keep a history of your inquiries

Once you register, you can review later what you asked and whom you asked.
