When American skilled workers started using diamond saw blades produced by Han, their work efficiency significantly improved. Initially, they believed the tools were made in Japan. Eventually, they discovered that these high-quality products were actually "Made in Wuhan." Yesterday, a representative from Wuhan Wanbang Laser Diamond Tools Co., Ltd. told reporters that entering the U.S. market requires not just advanced technology, but also a strong talent strategy to establish a solid presence in the country.
Wanbang strategically targeted the U.S. market, which is one of the most competitive and demanding globally. The U.S. accounts for nearly half of the global market for drilling and cutting consumables, and its product standards are among the strictest in the world—making it an ideal test for Wanbang’s quality and innovation.
In 2009, during the global financial crisis, the U.S. government introduced policies to boost domestic demand, including highway renovation projects. These projects consumed over 5,000 diamond saw blades daily. Seizing this opportunity, Wanbang expanded into the U.S. market by establishing DDT Trading Company in Chicago, selling its own brand "DDT" directly to American consumers.
Chicago was chosen as the base due to its central location, which offers strong market reach across the U.S. Moreover, many members of the American Concrete Drilling and Cutting Association are based in Chicago, including industry leader Hard Rock, who serves as the association’s chairman. Wanbang’s DDT company is located less than three kilometers from Hard Rock, allowing for frequent interactions and building strong business relationships.
To address American skepticism toward foreign products, Wanbang decided to hire an American marketing director. They identified Roger Allen, the former CEO of the American Concrete Drilling Association. At the time, Roger had recently left his company after a failed acquisition. After being approached by Gu Gu Mao, the head of Wuhan Wanbang, he joined the company as marketing director with a salary of $160,000 annually, plus additional benefits totaling around $300,000.
With the company’s advanced technology and effective marketing, DDT’s order volume has grown by 100% year-on-year, now capturing 10% of the U.S. concrete drilling and cutting tool market. Today, Roger has transitioned from a sales director to a shareholder in the company, demonstrating the success of Wanbang’s strategic approach in breaking into the U.S. market.
