Arburg forms subsidiary in Taiwan

Arburg has set up its own subsidiary in Taiwan, which officially started operations on April 1. This move is part of the company's goal for the further expansion of the global network and activities in Asia. Located in Taichung, the new subsidiary is logistically positioned in an important, strongly growing industrial region of Taiwan.

Andrea Carta, Arburg Overseas Sales Director, said that the strategic decision is due to the fact that Taiwan is an important, innovative market with many high-end companies. By taking on many sales and service employees from Arburg's former trading partner, the same extensive knowledge and familiar local contacts will continue to be available to customers in the future.  

There are many specialist high-end companies in Taiwan, which have already been using Arburg's plastics technology for a long time. For example, many Allrounders are used not only in medical technology and electronics production, but also in the processing of metal and ceramic powders (MIM, CIM) and liquid silicone (LSR).

In Michael Huang, Arburg was able to acquire an experienced plastics specialist as subsidiary manager. For several months, he went through intensive preparation for his work at the German headquarters in Lossburg. Previously, he worked in management and sales at materials manufacturer GE Plastics and Sabic, and consequently he knows the industry extremely well and has first-class contacts.  

Arburg's cooperation with its Taiwan trading partner, C& F will initially continue. The former trading partner will also continue to take care of some key accounts from the injection molding field. However, the new Arburg subsidiary will completely take over the work of the after-sales service. This will ensure continuity in support for the Taiwanese market in every respect.
