Schwing's sales swing to Asian markets

hermal cleaning systems provider Schwing Fluid Technik may have been in the Asian market for 30 years but it is only in the last few years it has seen its sales grow monumentally. "Today, 60% of our total sales come from Asia," said Vice-President, International Sales Ottmar Vallinga, speaking to PRA at P&R Indonesia.

In Indonesia, the company sells two to three machines a year, with Vallinga saying that customers are beginning to see the value of the German-made cleaning equipment for tooling and other parts of the production process.

In India, it is being kept busy with the installation of cleaning lines for German extrusion machinery maker Brueckner's service centre, said Vallinga.
