On the Road with Customers and Partners in Asia
Two countries a week, many conversations and, at the end, a visit to our own plants: Joost Samyn, who heads international sales at AOBAOSI, travelled through Southeast Asia and China in late summer.
Two days in Myanmar, one day in Singapore, two days in Bangkok. The trip began with customers in Southeast Asia. In Singapore the programme included a customer visit and a look at the city’s draught beer scene, followed by onward travel to Thailand.
In Bangkok, Joost Samyn visited customers together with Pakorn, our local distributor. Different cities, different markets, one aim: to stay close to our partners and to the brewing industry.
From there it went on to China. For four days the plants were the focus: the original plant in Ruian in the Wenzhou region and the new plant in Lishui, where spear production started in mid-July. Seeing the equipment in operation makes you look forward to what comes next. Before leaving there was still time for a coffee with Sales Director James Dai, and the last stop before the flight back to Europe was Guangzhou.
