WITec GmbH, worldwide leader in nano-analytical microscopy systems, announces
its further expansion into the Asian-Pacific markets with the opening of a new office in
Singapore. In this step, WITec advances its strategy of being closer to the market
and strengthening its position in the Asian-Pacific region. The decision to launch the
new operations in Singapore will accelerate WITec’s growth and reflects the
philosophy of better serving the worldwide customer base. Located in the “German
Centre Singapore”, the new office will provide valuable support to the numerous
sales and service activities of the regional distributors. Under the leadership of
Matthias Kress, WITec Director Sales Asia, the new Singapore office aims to further
establish WITec high-resolution microscope systems in the scientific community of
the region. The new office is located at:
WITec Pte. Ltd.
25 International Business Park
#05-109'g' German Centre
SGP-609916 Singapore
Phone: (+65) 9026 5667
“As the Asian-Pacific scientific market offers huge potential for our microscope
systems and already shows one of the biggest growth rates, the timing to establish
our own regional headquarters is ideal” says new Managing Director Matthias Kress.
“The decision to launch the operations in Singapore is a reflection of an increased
commitment to the Asian-Pacific market in general” Kress continues. As for the
reasons why Singapore was chosen by WITec, Kress comments: “As a regional hub
for Asia, Singapore is the perfect choice for the location.”
The driving force behind this successful development is the highly sensitive Confocal
Raman Microscope system, which allows the three-dimensional imaging of chemical
compounds of various materials. Atomic Force Microscopy for structural surface
analysis on the nanometer scale and Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy, capable of optically resolving structures below the diffraction limit, complete the
product portfolio. “We experience a continued strong customer demand and interest
in such microscope systems in this region", says Kress. “The new office can now
provide extensive customer support for unparalleled customer satisfaction.”
