VUTEk Restructures Asia Pacific Operations to Enhance Market Coverage New Distributors To Be Added In Key Regions
VUTEk® Inc., the industry's leading supplier of superwide format digital
inkjet printers, announced that it is appointing new distributors to sell
and service VUTEk products in the Asia Pacific region. As a result of these
moves, VUTEk will also close its Shanghai facility and transition its
operation and many of its people to the newly appointed distributors by the
end of June. There are two additional distributors appointed to the
Asia-Pacific region. Yee Fu Industrial Group with headquarters in Hong Kong
has been named exclusive distributor for the People's Republic of China
(including Hong Kong), Taiwan, Macau and Vietnam. VUTEk will also soon
announce the appointment of a second distributor, who will cover Southeast
Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Both will market VUTEk's full line of
products, including the recently introduced PressVU 200/600 UV Flatbed
Printer, and provide all service and support to VUTEk customers.
Gary Wu, VUTEk's Managing Director of Asia Pacific Operations states, "This
is an exciting development for VUTEk because distributors focused on key
geographies give us an opportunity to improve our territory coverage and
offer better service and support for existing and prospective customers.
Like our other distributors in the region, Arrow Systems in India, LG
Chemical in Korea and Toyo Corporation in Japan, we have chosen companies
that have earned a strong reputation in their respective territories and
help us strengthen VUTEk's presence in the region. By shifting our Shanghai
operation capabilities to these new distributors, we are able to put
important resources closer to the customer."
