INFICON expands its reach into India, Italy and the Nordic Countries
Bad Ragaz/Switzerland, July 31, 2012. INFICON has
opened new sales and service offices in India, Italy and
Sweden. Those INFICON business activities, which are focused
on meeting the demands of the Refrigeration & Air
Conditioning (RAC) and Automotive industries, have been
growing steadily over the past several years. Beyond these
established businesses, INFICON will also develop new
opportunities in its other key markets from these local
offices.
"Having our own sales and service companies in these
key areas of the world will enable INFICON to serve our
customers more directly. These offices will enable us to
participate in very dynamic parts of the world and I'm happy
for INFICON to be a part of this exciting development. I'm
convinced that being in close proximity to the markets we
serve will support our efforts to have the right products and
services for our customers," said Lukas Winkler, INFICON
CEO.
The company believes that these three new offices are
well-positioned to respond to the growing local requirements
for leak detection instruments that facilitate superior
quality control and testing in the manufacture of white
products and automobiles. In addition, providing local sales
and service support will allow new INFICON customers from the
company's other business lines, i.e., Emergency Response &
Security, Specific Vacuum Process Industries, and General
Vacuum Processes markets to more easily access INFICON
products and services.
