Nord-Lock Southeast Asia & Taiwan, part of the Nord-Lock Group, a provider of advanced bolting and engineering solutions, announced the inauguration of its regional office in Q Sentral, located at the heart of the capital’s transportation hub, KL Sentral. Nord-Lock Group’s move to relocate its regional office from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur underscores the group’s commitment to expand its presence and serves as a hub for its operations in the APAC region, to better serve its customers and partners.
Norbert Hentschel, Head of APAC, Nord-Lock Group, said, “Nord-Lock Group’s investment in this new regional office underscores our long-term vision for growth in Malaysia. Over the years, Malaysia has emerged as a key market for us, offering a skilled workforce, strategic location, and a conducive business environment. This relocation strengthens our presence in the region and marks the start of an exciting chapter in Nord-Lock Group’s journey to establish closer relationship with our distributors, strengthen our global presence and deliver excellence to our customers regionally.”
Robert Lejon, Deputy Head of Mission of the Embassy of Sweden to Malaysia who was at the inauguration event, agreed with Hentschel. “Through safe bolted connections, Nord-Lock Group provides a critical component that holds modern society together, and through its decision to expand and invest here it is also bringing Sweden and Malaysia closer together. This will open more doors for growth in business and cooperation between our nations, providing more job opportunities in both our countries respectively. We are excited about the opportunities this move will bring and look forward to mutual success."
The Malaysian office will be helmed by Kang Tzee Chang, General Manager, Nord-Lock Southeast Asia & Taiwan. He said, “Our new office in Kuala Lumpur represents a significant milestone for Nord-Lock as we continue to expand our footprint in Southeast Asia. We are committed to investing in Malaysia, fostering local talent, and contributing to the country’s economic development. This move is a testament to our belief in the immense potential of the Malaysian market.”
Nord-Lock takes a long-term view of its presence in Malaysia with plans to continue investing in its operations, including establishing a regional distribution centre by the end of the year.
