Contact Korea Ever-Power

Write to the engranaje helicoidal desk in Ansan.

Drawings arrive, a live engineer — not a chatbot — reviews them under NDA, and a quotation with technical comments lands back in your inbox inside one Korean working day. No call-centres, no routing desks, no "case numbers" between you and the person who will actually make your gears.

Why write to this desk

Four reasons Korean and Japanese OEMs keep coming back.

A worm gear enquiry can go to many places — a local trading house, a tier-1 importer, a catalogue aggregator. Coming to Ever-Power directly trades away a comforting layer of middle-men for four specific advantages that matter over a multi-year supply relationship.

Engineer-to-engineer

Your first reply comes from a production engineer who understands the drawing. Not a salesperson parroting a datasheet. Technical questions get technical answers in the same email.

24-hour quote

Catalogue items quoted inside one Korean working day; custom geometries inside three. Compare to the 5-to-10-day turnaround typical of the larger Japanese tier-1 houses.

NDA before quotation

Your drawing is NDA-covered before our engineering desk opens the file. Standard practice for tier-1 automotive and precision machine-tool work — not an optional extra that costs a line item.

No minimum headcount

Two-piece prototype MOQ. Whether you are a ten-engineer startup or a 400-person manufacturer, the enquiry moves through the same desk at the same speed. Every project is real work.

Direct contact details

How to reach the right person, first time.

The table below is the complete list of direct channels into the Ansan office. We deliberately keep it short — every channel is checked by a real human during Korean business hours, so there are no abandoned mailboxes or automated forwarders in the way of your enquiry. Use the channel that best matches what you are sending.

/ Email [email protected]The right channel for drawings, quotations, technical questions, NDAs, and sample requests. Attachments up to 25 MB handled without issue; larger packages welcomed via WeTransfer or Google Drive link in the email body.
/ Address Sandan-ro, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, KoreaThe factory and engineering office share one site in the Ansan industrial zone, roughly 45 minutes drive from Incheon International Airport. Factory visits are welcome by appointment — please email at least one week in advance to confirm available dates and arrange a tour guide.
/ Office Hours Mon – Fri · 09:00 – 18:00 KST (UTC+9)Emails received outside office hours are read and triaged on the next working day. Saturday coverage is available for automotive tier-1 projects with an approved NDA — mention the project name in the subject line to route the enquiry correctly.
/ Languages Korean · Japanese · English · MandarinReply in whichever language is easiest for you. Technical terminology — DIN classes, JIS grades, tooth profile callouts — is handled correctly across all four languages because every enquiry passes through an engineer, not a translator.

What to send with your first email

A complete first enquiry saves a full email round-trip. If you can, include:

  • 2D drawing (DXF, DWG, or PDF with dimensions)
  • Quantity — prototype, pilot run, and annual production
  • Application and duty cycle, even one sentence helps
  • Target delivery date, or "as soon as possible"
  • Any existing supplier we are benchmarking against

Urgent sample needed?

Write the word "SAMPLE" in the subject line. Sample-priority enquiries are pulled from the main queue and answered first — typically within four Korean business hours.

03
Response timeline

What happens after you hit send.

Clear expectations reduce enquiry anxiety. Here is exactly what happens from the moment your email arrives in the Ansan inbox to the moment a signed commercial offer reaches your desk. The timings below are the median over the last twelve months of enquiries from Korean and Japanese OEMs — outliers exist in both directions, but this is what you should budget for.

Email receivedinstantly

The email lands in the shared sales-engineering inbox and is tagged by subject. Automotive, machine-tool, food/pharma, and general-industrial enquiries each route to the engineer who handles that domain day-to-day.

Acknowledgement sentwithin 1 hour (office hours)

A human acknowledgement goes back confirming receipt, the engineer assigned, and the expected response window for the full quotation. This is not a boilerplate auto-responder — each acknowledgement names the engineer and gives a realistic timeline.

Drawing review & clarificationssame day

The assigned engineer opens the drawing, checks for missing specifications (tolerance call-outs, heat-treatment requirements, surface finish notes), and sends a single consolidated clarification email. Bundling questions in one message rather than drip-feeding them saves both sides several email rounds.

Technical & commercial quotation1 – 3 working days

Once clarifications are resolved, the full quotation lands in your inbox. Catalogue items quoted inside one working day; custom geometries inside three. The quotation includes pricing at three volume breaks, proposed material pair, accuracy class, lead time, and any engineering observations the desk thinks you should know about before committing.

Order confirmation & PPAP kick-offupon PO

After the purchase order is issued, a confirmation with an assigned production-order number, scheduled dispatch date, and — for automotive tier-1 projects — the PPAP document package schedule. Weekly status updates follow until dispatch.

04
Honest scope

What we can — and can't — help with.

The Ansan operation is a specialist shop, not a general engineering services firm. Being clear about what falls inside and outside our scope helps you route your enquiry correctly on the first try. If your project is outside our scope, we are happy to recommend a partner shop that can help — just ask.

Inside our scope

  • Worm gears and worm wheels — from Ø5 mm micro-module instrument wheels to Ø300 mm industrial wheels, in bronze, steel, stainless, plastic.
  • Worm shafts — single, double, triple, quadruple start; hardened and ground alloy steel standard.
  • Complete worm gear reducers — sealed oil-filled housings in catalogue sizes and custom envelopes.
  • Motor-flange worm gearboxes — NEMA and IEC input flanges for servo and stepper motors.
  • Reverse engineering — working from a sample when the original drawing is lost, 5-step protocol with photographic inspection and CMM verification.
  • Material upgrades — converting an existing drive from carbon steel to stainless, or from mineral oil to synthetic lubrication.
  • Custom tooth profiles — non-standard module, profile shift, or tip relief when the application demands it.
  • IATF 16949 PPAP packages — full tier-1 automotive documentation on request.

Outside our scope (we will refer)

  • Spur, helical, or bevel gears alone — partner shops in Ansan cover these; we will introduce you if the project needs one.
  • Planetary gearboxes — a different engineering discipline; referrals available.
  • Complete motion-control systems with motors, drives, and controllers — we supply the mechanical half only.
  • Stock distribution — we manufacture to order, not to stock. If you need same-week delivery from warehouse inventory, the big catalogue distributors are faster.
  • Consumer-grade applications below the quality threshold our production line is calibrated for — generic toy-grade drives, disposable single-use geometries.
  • Counterfeit or brand-marked replacements — we only supply components under our own manufacturer name; requests to apply a third-party brand are refused without exception.

Inquiry FAQ

Questions that come up in most first emails.

Six questions cover roughly 80 % of what a first-time enquirer asks before sending their drawing. Reading them now saves a round-trip or two of email once the real conversation starts.

Do you provide free samples?
For catalogue items, a single sample is provided free of charge to verified business accounts — we ask that the customer cover outbound shipping to confirm the end destination. For custom geometries, samples are chargeable because the tooling setup for a one-off is the same as for a hundred-piece run. The sample charge is typically refunded against the first production order. Mention "SAMPLE" in your email subject to route the enquiry through the sample queue rather than the general quotation queue.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Two pieces for prototype batches and ten pieces for production runs is our standard MOQ on most catalogue items. For highly custom geometries where the hob or form tool cost is significant, the engineering desk will sometimes quote a minimum of 50 pieces to keep unit price competitive. We do not do one-off custom orders — the tooling setup simply does not justify a single piece, and quoting that way would mean the unit price carries the entire tooling investment.
Can you sign an NDA before I send my drawing?
Yes, and this is the standard workflow for automotive tier-1 and precision machine-tool enquiries. Send an email stating that an NDA is required — our Seoul legal desk counter-signs within two working hours under Korean business hours. We can use your template, the industry-standard ACEA or VDA 6.3 templates, or the Ever-Power mutual NDA, whichever is fastest. No drawing is opened by the engineering desk until the counter-signed NDA is confirmed on file.
Do you ship outside Korea?
Yes. The Ansan operation ships regularly to Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, India, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and several other markets. Incoterms are flexible — EXW Ansan, FCA Incheon, and CIF destination port are all standard. Our logistics desk works with DHL, FedEx, and Kuehne+Nagel for sea-freight consolidation; freight-forwarder-of-choice requests from the customer side are accommodated.
How long does a typical production order take?
Catalogue items ship in 25 business days as a standard. Custom geometries with new tooling typically add 10 – 15 days for the hob or form tool to be manufactured before the main production run begins. Rush production is available at approximately 30 % premium — our production desk will tell you honestly whether rush pricing is justified for your specific order, or whether a small redesign could hit the standard lead time instead.
What payment terms do you offer?
Standard terms for first-order new customers are 30 % deposit against order, 70 % balance before dispatch, via T/T wire transfer. Established customers with three or more orders on file can apply for net-30 terms after credit review by the finance desk. Letters of credit are welcomed for export orders above USD 20 000 — we work with Korea Exchange Bank and KB Kookmin Bank on L/C instruments. Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and informal payment channels are not accepted.

Data handling & commitments

What happens to your drawing after you send it.

A short note on the non-technical side of the enquiry. When you email a drawing to the Ansan desk, three commitments apply by default — no signature required, no paid tier, no escalation.

We treat your drawing like our own product secret.

Every drawing that lands in the sales-engineering inbox is stored on an access-controlled internal server, visible only to the engineer assigned to the quotation. Drawings are never sent to third parties, never used to train public AI models, never shared in marketing material, and never referenced by name in catalogue samples. If you request drawing return or destruction after the project concludes — or if the project does not proceed — we confirm destruction in writing within five working days.
