Dr. Eckel sets up Asia HQ in Thailand
Dr. Eckel opened its international headquarters (IHQ) in Bangkok on September 18.
Dr. Eckel marked the official inauguration of Dr. Eckel Animal Nutrition (Thailand) Co., Ltd. and its move to the new offices.
Business and political guests - notably the German ambassador to Bangkok Peter Prügel - were impressed by the company's product and service portfolio, as well as its corporate objectives. "We are pleased that German companies are expanding globally, significantly shaping and successfully participating in the rapid developments in Asia, in agriculture, for example," said Prügel.
The new company will focus on the Asian markets. "Asia is becoming particularly important for our company, given the tremendous growth in animal nutrition," explained managing director Dr. Antje Eckel. "We have served the Asian feed industry from a representative office in Bangkok for years, and now we will significantly increase our exposure through our IHQ and our German–Thai subsidiary. We appreciate the assistance of the Thai Board of Investment. We will invest our expertise and effort in developing the Asian market, which has significant growth potential," she added.
