Alongside Shanghai, China, and Melbourne, Penang is the third location for the owner-managed group of companies in the Asia-Pacific region. The recently established branch in Malaysia will be the latest full-service provider of its services for South-East Asian customers.

In Penang, it customises both hardware and software and carries out tests and trainings. The branch will also take care of installations, commissioning and maintenance work, covering the region across 11 countries.
