At the opening ceremony, attended by representatives from business and industry, German Consul General Dr. Josefine Wallat emphasized the close economic connections between Germany and Vietnam. After an inspiring speech and the symbolic ribbon cutting, the new location was officially inaugurated.
"Vietnam offers us an ideal combination of growth potential, a dynamic economy and a key position in the region. With our new location, we are not only creating an even closer connection to our customers and partners, but also laying the foundation for making a positive contribution to the development of Southeast Asia in the long term," explains Dr. Kurt Schmalz, Managing Partner of Schmalz.
The office, with an area of 200 square meters, also houses an exhibition area where visitors can experience Schmalz technologies. During the opening, the company presented products such as the JumboFlex handling system, vacuum automation solutions for the electronics and packaging industries as well as area grippers and components for sectors such as glass, automotive and logistics.
The opening event offered numerous opportunities for networking. Visitors were able to see Schmalz technologies in action and to exchange ideas with partners and customers in a relaxed atmosphere during a tea break.
"With this location, we are sending a clear signal: Vietnam is the gateway to Southeast Asia - a region with enormous potential," says Dr. Kurt Schmalz.
