On October 13, 2010 DKSH’s Business Unit Technology and Studer signed a sole agency agreement for Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, thereby building on an earlier agreement that already includes Taiwan and Korea. DKSH offers Studer regional coverage in South East Asia by providing sales, marketing, project management, and after-sales services all in one go.
DKSH already achieved excellent results for Studer in Taiwan and Korea, which was one of the reasons Studer chose to extend its agreement with DKSH. Another reason is DKSH’s strong presence in South East Asia’s machine tool markets. For DKSH, Studer’s focus on machine innovation and its state-of-the-art grinding machineries make it a strong business partner with first-rate products that are bound to attract a lot of attention in South East Asia’s fast expanding markets.
Rolf Grossenbacher, Sales Director of Fritz Studer AG, says: “We are the No. 1 manufacturer of high precision universal cylindrical grinding machines worldwide and want to foster our leading position by expanding our sales to South East Asia. DKSH is offering us a Swiss-minded but still locally flavored market approach via their fine grid sales and service network. Studer and DKSH have accumulated specific marketing know-how for machinery, especially in Taiwan. I am keen to jointly explore the markets in Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore as well. All our existing and potential customers will receive first-class consultation when investing into new machinery and benefit from our highly trained service technicians when installing, maintaining, and servicing Studer premium products.”
Dr. Adrian Eberle, Executive Vice President Business Unit Technology from DKSH, says: “I’m delighted to be able to extend the highly successful partnership with Studer to other markets. Thanks to our thorough business development and our structured sales approach, we were able to deliver outstanding results already in Taiwan and Korea. Adding Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore will help us to further strengthen our leadership position for machine tools.”
