“Absolute Growth Market” The Asia-Pacific region plays an important role for AERZEN In 2004, the success story of AERZEN in the Asia-Pacific region began. Now, four subsidiaries and three sales offices operate in this region. The most recent milestone was the inauguration of the new location of Aerzen China in October 2015.

Soon afterwards, Aerzen Asia and Aerzen China were founded, then Aerzen India (2006/07) and Aerzen Australia (2011) followed, as well as sales offices in Thailand, Taiwan and Vietnam. The customers mainly come from the petrochemical, chemical, cement and steel industries, as well as the mechanical engineering industry. “Asia Pacific, with the main drivers China and India, is an absolute growth market for our company”, emphasises CEO Klaus-Hasso Heller. The head office of Aerzen China in Shanghai, inaugurated on 13th October, shows how important the Asia Pacific market is for AERZEN. A new building was constructed with spacious production, office and social facilities. 150 guests came to the official opening, among them customers, suppliers, government representatives and colleagues from Aerzen China and from Germany. “Our guests were impressed by the quality of the building”, says Klaus-Hasso Heller, who planted four trees together with Managing Director Bernd Wöhlken, Chuck Lim (Managing Director Asia Pacific) and Sam Hoo (Managing Director Aerzen China) on the occasion of the inauguration. The new location of Aerzen China offers enough space for further expansions and is therefore a strong basis for dynamic development in the entire region. Growth potential include, for example, our applications in waste water treatment, as in populous Asia a tremendous amount of waste water must be purified. “We are already now the first choice concerning many applications. But in order to continue to develop the market, an even more sustainable strategy is necessary. We want to explain to our customers that we do not only offer excellent products, but also provide comprehensive solutions”, says Chuck Lim. A special challenge for AERZEN is the competitive situation in the Asia Pacific region. Particularly in China, there are numerous cost-attractive product providers, but they have considerably lower product quality than AERZEN: “We therefore have to manufacture our products more cost-effectively without losing any quality - as quality is, and will remain, the backbone of the AERZEN brand”, underlines Stephan Brand, Manager Marketing International. “It is important to explain to customers in the Asia Pacific region”, says Klaus-Hasso Heller,”that investments in AERZEN products pay off after a short time thanks to our energy-efficient solutions.”
Aerzen Turbo Generation 5 - now available in Asia The new turbo series Generation 5 is available in Asia with immediate effect. As a first step, the sizes AT150 and AT200 (3,000 - 8,400 m3/h) will be locally produced by Aerzen Turbo in Korea; the sizes AT300 and AT400 (8,000 - 16,200 m3/h) will follow in the first quarter of 2016. The new series Generation 5 is characterised by improved fluid mechanics resulting in increased energy efficiency, reduced sound levels and less maintenance. Space-saving “side-by-side“ installation is also possible.
Emmerthaler Apparatebau twice recertified: During this year’s recertification audit pursuant to ISO 9001 and BS OHSAS 18001, Emmerthaler Apparatebau GmbH demonstrated once again its excellent management systems for quality, occupational health and safety. The audit was carried out by the TÜV Nord and by the internal quality management, under the supervision of Michael Stewig. The results showed that no deviations were found. In the course of the continuous improvement process, however, further potential improvements were identified, and these now need to be realised. Thanks to this recertification, and the already attained certifications such as ASME, TR/TS 032, DNV, China License and H/H1, customers will be provided with the best possible service with regard to planning, calculation and manufacturing of pressure equipment, with everything coming from a single source.
