Wittmann Group expands Southeast Asia presence with Vietnam subsidiary
January 19, 2024
The Wittmann Group, headquartered in Kottingbrunn, Austria, has established a sales and service subsidiary in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with the aim of strengthening its presence in Southeast Asia. The new subsidiary is located near the international airport in the Tan Binh District of Ho Chi Minh City, making it easy to reach for international customers.
“Vietnam is growing rapidly more and more significant as a production location for the injection moulding industry,” emphasised Michael Wittmann, owner and CEO of the Wittmann Group. “We are now responding to this trend by establishing Wittmann Vietnam Co, Ltd, in Ho Chi Minh City. This will enable us to serve our local customers there even more effectively and to provide flexible support for the development of new production facilities. With this action, we are further strengthening our customer base in Southeast Asia.”
Wittmann has been present in Vietnam since 2015 through a local agency, and stated that it will continue working with Tao Bangkok (Vietnam) Co. Ltd to ensure optimal continuity and security for its customers in the region.
Giang An Le has recently been appointed as the General Manager of the company’s new subsidiary. In his new role, he will be responsible for expanding the company’s sales and service network in Vietnam. Giang is a graduate electrical engineer and brings with him twenty years of experience working in international production and mechanical engineering companies, with a focus on the plastics industry.
“The requirements for higher efficiency and quality standards are continually rising in Southeast Asia,” said Wittmann. “Accordingly, innovative processing technologies, automation solutions and application technology counselling are in high demand.”
