September 9, 2013 – Omega Engineering is opening an office in Singapore to coordinate its business throughout the Southeast Asia region. The official grand opening of the office will be held on September 27, 2013. This follows the successful opening of the China office last year, say Omega Engineering officials, with additional investments to be made in other countries in the Asia Pacific region. Omega Engineering has been a leader in process measurement and control in the USA for over 50 years. The company appointed Michael Lopez as the Omega Engineering General Manager of Southeast Asia.
The Omega Southeast Asian business unit will have more than a dozen employees, including well-trained applications and technical support engineers, offering high-quality customer service in this region. “Our move into Singapore helps us to better service our clients in Southeast Asia,” Omega Engineering’s Asia Pacific Vice President and Managing Director, Patricia Liu, commented, “We have a significant installed base of business here where customers in multiple industries continue to expand their operations. Locating our newest office near our customers allows us to serve their needs more efficiently. It also presents us with an opportunity to grow our activities and expand our impact while more effectively reaching new customers in this emerging economic region.”
