September 12, 2012 - Moxa opened a branch office in Brazil, continuing a string of strategic long-term investments in key emerging markets. This investment in the face of current economic conditions shows Moxa’s faith in the long-term potential of emerging markets for industrial communications equipment providers, according to James Wu, Regional Director for Moxa Brazil. “Our industrial networking solutions and topologies are well-suited to the infrastructure development projects that are typical of emerging markets,” Wu explains. “In order to take advantage of these opportunities, it is essential that we have an experienced team on the ground floor that can meet the needs of the local market and our customers.”
Moxa Brazil will bring several key strengths that should be attractive to local industrial systems integrators, Wu believes, including Moxa’s 25 years of experience in designing and manufacturing industrial communication products. Wu is also counting on his own 30 years of experience in telecommunications and industrial automation, and has begun assembling a team of local field experts. “We already have a fantastic field application engineer, Fabio Carrasco, that used to be a Moxa customer,” Wu notes proudly. “As a field expert and true believer in our technology, he will be invaluable in educating and servicing our customers.”
Supported by Moxa’s strength in industrial technology and a seasoned local sales and support team, Wu is confident that Moxa Brazil is well-positioned to meet the unique requirements and challenges of local industrial customers.
