Nihon Denkei (Thailand) handles the products of Carton Optical, one of Japan's leading and long-established optical instrument manufacturer. In this article, we interviewed Mr. Weerawut, a sales engineer at Carton Optical (Siam) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Carton Siam"), a Thai subsidiary of the company, and Mr. Pok, a sales manager of Nihon Denkei (Thailand), to introduce the initiatives of the two companies and recommended microscope-related products.
The only Japanese manufacturer developing and manufacturing stereo microscopes in Thailand
In 2019, Akira Sasaki, who was the president of Carton Siam at the time, began collaborating with Nihon Denkei in response to its proposal to collaborate between the two Thai subsidiaries as they do in Japan.
Carton Optical expanded its production base to Thailand in 1988 and Carton Siam was established as a factory specializing in the development and manufacture of stereo. By having a production factory in Thailand, the company is able to provide products of the same high quality as those in Japan, but at the lowest possible price, boasting a high cost-performance ratio.

Among the stereo microscopes of Carton Optical, let us introduce the two products that are in high demand in Thailand.
■Zoom Stereo Microscope - SPZ Series
Zoom stereo microscopes that can be connected to a CCD and display results on a screen of computer. The magnification ranges from 6.7x to 50x, making it ideal for quality inspection of various parts including electronic components.

■ Double Magnification/Fixed Magnification Stereo Microscopes - NSW Series
This product features two magnifications (10x 23mm/20x 11.5mm) and an affordable price. Since the lens is transparent and the light reflected by the face surface of the gem does not enter the user's eyes, it is in high demand in the jewelry industry. It is a product that is often used for parts inspection in other industries as well.
Focus also on pre-purchase demonstration tests and after-sales service including post-purchase usage lectures
The company focuses not only on product quality, but also on pre- and post-sales service.
“Our products are available for a one-week trial period prior to purchase. This allows customers to examine whether the usability and quality of the product are worth the price by using the actual instrument on site. In addition, since microscopes are highly specialized products, we also provide our customers with lectures on basic product knowledge as well as their use and maintenance as needed. Furthermore, all of our microscopes are managed according to when they were produced and sold by their instrument numbers, so repairs and maintenances can be carried out smoothly. We will continue collaborating with Nihon Denkei to provide high-quality products that meet the expectations of our customers, and contribute to improving the quality of manufacturing and inspection processes in Thailand," says Mr. Weerawut of Carton Siam.
