The "Dream Together, Shape Future" Jinan–Netherlands Laser Industry Exchange Conference was held on April 14 at the global headquarters of Bodor Laser in Jinan, further strengthening industry ties between Jinan and the Netherlands.

The event brought together representatives from Klaassen Advanced Metal Machines (KAMM), the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Jinan Sub-council, and leading Chinese enterprises including Sinotruk to explore new opportunities for industrial cooperation.

As a leading enterprise in Jinan's intelligent manufacturing sector, Bodor Laser specializes in laser cutting technology and has achieved full independent production of its core components, including laser heads, laser sources, and operating systems. Its products range from 1,500 watts to 120 kilowatts, and the company has ranked as a global leader in sales of laser cutting machines above 1,000W for seven consecutive years.

The cooperation between Bodor Laser and Dutch partners has lasted for over a decade. The two sides have jointly built the most comprehensive laser equipment showroom in the Netherlands and developed customized solutions tailored to local market needs, forming a stable model of technology co-development and market sharing.

The Dutch delegation also visited Bodor Laser's production facilities and latest equipment. KAMM manager Jürgen Kroeze noted that the machines demonstrate a strong balance between design and performance.
