IBM-Pass Partner invests in upgrades in Singapore, seeks to establish a major office in Asia.

ebm-papst, a leading fan and motor manufacturer headquartered in Mulheim-Kenn, Germany, plans to invest around €1 million to expand and modernize its subsidiary in Singapore. Previously a regional office for Southeast Asia, it will now become a key branch office for the entire Asia-Pacific and East Asia.

The ebm-papst Group's strategy includes strengthening its base in the Asia-Pacific and East Asia Region and increasing the flexibility of its supply chain. ebm-papst already has more than 2,000 employees in China and they are increasingly focusing on the Chinese market and local customers. At the end of November, the company held the opening of its new office and warehouse in Singapore, which was attended not only by employees and customers, but also by Dr. Klaus Geisder, CEO of the ebm-papst Group, and Thomas Nernberger, Chief Technical Officer of Air Technology for Asia-Pacific.

"As a technology leader, we want to capitalize on our marketing potential in the Asia-Pacific and East Asia region, so we are applying the concept of 'globalization-localization.' We want to continue to grow our business in Europe, the Americas, and Asia Pacific, including China. Strengthening our presence in Singapore is an important step for us. This country is a leader in digital technology and sustainability, as well as a hub for the entire Asia-Pacific region," said Dr.

The ebm-papst company continues to invest in expanding its business in China while also planning to increase production in India. In addition, the company has plans to invest in Singapore. As part of the renovation of its Singapore branch office, the fan manufacturer is creating a new workspace for its Asia-Pacific regional leadership, upgrading existing office space and warehouses, and building a future-focused applications lab, including a customer experience center.
