HEIDELBERG, Germany (May 24, 2012) – The ProMinent Group is expanding its presence in the Asian market with the establishment of a new subsidiary in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It has been managed since April 1, 2012 by General Manager Mr Lam Binh Bao.

The Heidelberg-based manufacturer of innovative metering technology was quick to recognize the importance of the Asian markets and has operated its own production, sales and service organizations there since the 1980s. In 2010, ProMinent set up a production site in Korea to complement its existing sites in Thailand, Singapore and China.

The new office in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Sài Gòn (Saigon)) signals the global company's intention to focus on the growth market of Vietnam. Having ProMinent employees in situ to serve international major customers will also promote acceptance and customer loyalty. ProMinent's entire product portfolio is geared toward the key industries of Oil & Gas, Potable Water, Hotels &Resorts and Food & Beverage, as well as fish farming.
