Additionally, Anton Paar strengthens its activities in the APAC region with a new subsidiary in Taipei: Anton Paar Taiwan Co. Ltd. Following the cooperation with the distribution partner Hammer Trading that started in 2003, from January 1, 2019, also Anton Paar Taiwan exclusively distributes and services all Anton Paar products on the local market. Friedrich Santner, CEO of Anton Paar: “A direct presence in a market offers lots of new possibilities for Anton Paar. The sales and service forces are completely focused on Anton Paar products. A well-equipped demonstration lab is standard in any Anton Paar subsidiary allowing for extended customer training and application support.”
