The visit to the German House and the Vietnamese German University (VGU) in Ho Chi Minh City offered numerous suggestions and made it possible to meet interesting personalities from business and politics. The delegation looks forward to further productive talks and looks forward to strengthening bilateral relations in the coming days.

Asian market of outstanding importance

The second stop of the delegation trip was to Thailand. The Land of Smiles welcomed the delegation warmly. The program included joint meetings with the Federal President and numerous small discussions with representatives from politics and business.

Asia is now extremely important for WENZEL as the second-largest market after Europe. Especially in Vietnam and Thailand, there are considerable opportunities for the further development of our activities. In recent years, many companies have established production facilities here, and we are looking forward to making a contribution to ensuring process and product quality with our measuring machines.

At the end of the trip, there was the opportunity to get to know the country better by visiting a pilot farm for sustainable agriculture, a raft trip to the floating photovoltaic plant and a short hike in the national park.
