✦ Synopsis

as a base of operations for its Asia Pacific sales office.

In September the company launched Bal Seal Asia Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary, and opened offices in the Chinachem Century Tower. From this location, the sales team will serve customers in power transmission/distribution, analytical and other industries throughout Asia. According to Joseph Mok, Managing Director for Bal Seal Asia Ltd., the company established the Hong Kong location because it considered a physical presence 'essential' to its successful expansion of sales in the region.

'We know that there are tremendous opportunities for us here in Asia,' said Mok, citing high-current energy and analytical equipment as two examples. 'But we also know that in order to exceed service expectations and fully realize our growth objectives, we need to understand and respect the complexities and nuances of the marketplace. Being here is a very important part of that process.'
