Hess AG inaugurates regional Asia-Pacific office in Singapore
- Growing demand for energy-efficient LED lighting technology in major
cities
Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany / Singapore, November 15, 2012 - Hess AG
has given itself improved access to the Asia-Pacific market by extending
its regional presence through its new Singapore office. This month saw the
official inauguration of the sales branch in Singapore, the base from which
the globally active manufacturer of outdoor and architectural lighting
plans to boost sales of LED products in the region. A specially created
display area to showcase the range of products available from the Hess
Group provides clients with hands-on experience of the benefits
energy-efficient outdoor lighting design has to offer them.
Latest studies forecast strong growth opportunities in the LED segment in
Asia-Pacific. According to management consultants McKinsey, the value of
the LED share of the lighting market in Asia (excl. China) is set to grow
from EUR1 billion in 2011 to EUR13 billion by 2020. A growth rate of
similar magnitude is anticipated in China, a market in which Hess AG has
already been represented for many years through its Beijing-based sales
office.
'We are seeking to secure ourselves a larger slice of the Asia-Pacific
market, most especially for the '.hess' and 'emdelight' brands. Our knowhow
helps lighting designers, architects and relevant public authorities to
achieve their objectives. Our bigger local footprint in the region will
make cooperation with construction firms and general contractors a lot
easier,' says Christoph Hess, CEO of Hess AG.
Hess AG combines technological expertise with sophisticated design and high
product quality. The company's portfolio includes 'designed and functional
outdoor lighting' for streets, squares, and public spaces, architectural
lighting and lighting installed in close proximity to buildings, as well as
matching street and site furnishings for public spaces.
