TURCK Singapore Pte Ltd is proud to announce that it has officially set up direct support operations in Bangkok and Rayong for the support of TURCK business activity in Thailand.

Initially, the local operations consist of a sales support and technical sales discipline to support local channel and systems solutions partners, whereas the framework already has been created for hiring additional staff to further develop new business and markets.

It is a logical step for TURCK to further expand operations in Thailand with the rapidly developing business and growing installed base of TURCK in the Thai process and factory automation industries. The commitment and trust given by the local customer base justifies TURCKs’ local presence.

It is exciting to see the opportunity for TURCK towards the Thai industry, says Mr. Gunther Ehlert, the newly appointed sales support manager. TURCK has been present in Thailand for almost 20 years via local partners and the time is right to further build upon the foundation created.

We are thrilled to bring the latest solutions to the market and explain our latest products and technologies to our customers. The interest in TURCK solutions like for RFID, connectivity and various fieldbuses has been overwhelming; indicating that the industry is ready to adopt these solutions on a large scale. We now can provide the required support and expertise from our local support base to optimize the planning and implementation process for our customers.

TURCK will go on tour throughout Thailand soon to update customers on the various products and solutions available. For further information on the seminar program, schedule and locations, please contact gunther.ehlert@turck.com or michelle.chong@turck.com
