After Dubai, Canada, Turkey, Romania and South Africa, Singapore is the sixth branch of the internationally operating family business.
Singapore, the city-state with a size of only 718 square kilometers, which is roughly equivalent to the area of Hamburg in Germany, is the cornerstone cross in Southeast Asia. More and more companies recognize the value of the highly industrialized and successful economy of Singapore.
With the opening of the new branch, Weicon wants to take part in this story of success.
"Southeast Asia is a very interesting market. From Singapore, we want to expand our business into all countries in the region", Weicon CEO Ralph Weidling explains. "The twins Gang und Qiang Kho take over the management of our new branch. We already have been working with them for several years and look forward to a successful future in Southeast Asia."
The excellent geographical location at the southern end of the Strait of Malacca, one of the busiest waterways in the world, the country is perfectly connected to Europe and Asia. Large ports and a modern infrastructure ensure a good connection to the world market.
Strong economic growth and political stability also favor the location of the new branch. The major economic sectors of the country include the oil-processing industry, electrical industry, machinery and equipment, ship repair and biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.
