Warewashing manufacturer Meiko has expanded its global business by recently opening a new international subsidiary.
The Germany-based outfit has set up a Korean office, which will be used as a hub to grow its business in the Asia region.
Meiko said the new office, which is based in Seoul, will make it easier for existing customers and partners to access its products and services while also helping to actively promote new partnerships.
It also boosts its ability to serve the local foodservice and healthcare markets and satisfy growing demand in the region, it said.
Meiko now has office locations in 21 countries across the world.
General manager, Jun Kim, who has previous experience in the commercial kitchen equipment segment, said the new market organisation will provide the brand with a platform to expand sales of its hygiene and food waste technologies across the Asian region.
“The establishment of Meiko Korea is an important step forward, and it gives us the perfect launchpad to drive growth in this promising market.
“As one of the world’s leading producers of high-tech goods, Korea is a country of high quality standards and strong demand for cutting-edge technology.
“We’ve already seen from our existing partnerships that our machines do a great job of meeting these requirements. Our goal over the next few years is to build on this success by creating new partnerships.”
