The office will be headed by Isao Nishida, who has worked for the Plansee Group for 13 years and has experience in molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum and niobium and their applications.
"Our metals are used in a wide variety of applications," said Isao Nishida. "Our materials are used to provide hard material coatings for tools. Our wire is used to manufacture tantalum capacitors for electronic components. And many companies need our components for their MOCVD systems, ion implanters or high-temperature furnaces."
"Geographical proximity remains an important aspect of our service offering, even in the digital age. Having our own office in Singapore simply allows us to provide a better service to our customers in Southeast Asia," said Andreas Feichtinger, head of marketing and sales organization at Plansee.
