Endress+Hauser has invested €4.5 million in a new sales office in Shah Alam near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The new facility will be used mainly to expand the company’s training offering in order to provide more in-depth customer support.
“The new building in Shah Alam represents a milestone for Endress+Hauser Malaysia and enables us to continue to meet the demanding requirements of our customers,” explained Mun Kong Chow, Managing Director of Endress+Hauser Malaysia. The roughly 3,000-square-meter facility houses a new calibration center for flow, level, pressure and liquid analysis instruments, in addition to spacious training rooms and an auditorium that provide ample space for hands-on customer training.
In Malaysia, the company currently has a workforce of more than 80 people who are focused on the chemical, food & beverage, palm oil, oil & gas, water & wastewater and power & energy industries.
“The business has grown steadily in Malaysia over the past 15 years. Malaysia is one of the most important markets in Southeast Asia and it boasts tremendous potential that we plan on exploiting further. With the new facility we have created an excellent foundation to pursue this goal,” says Tony Jacobsen, Corporate Sales Director for the Asia-Pacific region.
