UK-based Meech
Static Eliminators has established an office in Singapore to provide local
support to its distributors and increase sales of its web cleaning, static
control and MAT (Meech Air Technology) systems in Southeast Asia. Meech has
appointed Melvyn Chan as Sales and Operations Director to drive sales and
manage operations across the region. The Singapore office, will support sales
in the following territories: Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand,
Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Brunei.
“As reflected in
our international sales, Meech has identified substantial growth in the region
over the past few years and we are eager to support areas across the globe that
are showing real potential – Southeast Asia being one,” says Chris Francis, CEO
of Meech Static Eliminators. “We have worked alongside distributors in these
territories for many years and we believe now is the right time to capitalise
on the growth in the region and offer these distributors a greater support
network.”
Melvyn Chan is the
ideal choice for heading up Meech’s new division, having spent over twelve
years working for a local distributor. Chan has extensive knowledge of the
plastics, packaging, print and converting industries, among others.
Speaking about
Chan’s appointment, Francis adds: “Melvyn’s knowledge of Meech’s products and
the markets in this region will prove invaluable as he takes on this new role.
After many years supporting us as an accomplished distributor throughout
Malaysia and Singapore, we’re delighted to welcome him to the team and I’m sure
he will help deliver profitable and successful results.”
Melvyn Chan says:
“It is a great pleasure to be taking on the role of Sales and Operations
Director for Meech Singapore. This is an exciting opportunity to work at a
company that continues to expand into new sectors across the globe. Southeast
Asia is an emerging market in a developing part of the world, which means that
a strategically located office will facilitate Meech to deliver the
technologies and product ranges that are sought after in the region. This plan
is in line with Meech’s vision and mission of being the leading ‘global partner
for static control, web cleaning and air technology’.”
