A Decade With NPR: Strong Foundations to Bigger Plans

Over ten years in the market teaches you a great deal about what works. For TLM and NPR, it has built something harder to manufacture than any part: a working relationship grounded in consistency, trust, and a shared understanding of what Vietnamese dealers actually need.

The recent visit by senior NPR representatives to Hanoi — joined by colleagues from Y.S — was an opportunity to reflect on that history and turn the conversation toward what comes next. In attendance were:

• Mr. Yusuke Tagai – International Sales Director, NPR
• Mr. Ohara Tomohiro – General Director, NPR Singapore
• Mr. Daniel Hong – Sales Director, NPR Singapore
• Mr. Yuji Harada – Sales Director, Y.S

At the center of discussions was a shared plan to expand NPR's piston ring range for the Vietnamese market. With bikes ranging from everyday commuters to manual motorcycles and the latest automatic scooters, the need for validated piston ring applications across more engine types is clear. TLM and NPR are committed to closing that gap — ensuring dealers and repair professionals nationwide always have the right part for the right engine.

After more than ten years, the conversation is still moving forward. And so is the work.
