On 22 September 2016, Arburg's Taiwanese subsidiary in Taichung was officially inaugurated and its offerings presented live to the 150 invited guests. For the special occasion, a high-profile delegation from the German parent company attended to officially inaugurate the subsidiary, which has already been actively operating since April 2016.
During the event, Arburg's Managing Partner Renate Keinath and Managing Director Sales Gerhard Böhm stressed the significance of Taiwan's high-tech market. “The founding of the Arburg organisation is an important milestone of the company's successful development in Taiwan,” said Renate Keinath. He also cited that over the past 35 years, Arburg enjoyed excellent representation by C & F International Corp. in this important market. However, Arburg always aims to offer its customers an even better range of products and services, Ms. Keinath added.
Because Taiwan has great significance for Arburg as an innovative market with numerous high-end companies, the stated objective is to not only to secure a local presence with a subsidiary over the long term, but also to strategically expand it further. “In Michael Huang, we have succeeded in recruiting an experienced plastics specialist as subsidiary manager. Moreover, because we have taken on many Sales and Service employees from our former trading partner, the same extensive knowledge and familiar local contacts will continue to be available to our customers in the future,” added Ms. Keinath.
The Taichunh premises offer some 550 square meters of floorspace, providing the perfect setting for the extensive service offerings. The showroom also provides sufficient space for three Allrounder injection molding machines.
The infrastructure in Taiwan will also be expanded in a targeted manner, for example by broader service offerings and application technology consulting. The intention is to ensure that Arburg can offer its customers the same first-class service and support in Taichung for which the company is renowned worldwide.
