Open control systems , an independent approach to suppliers and the skill to design tailor-made solutions is helping J-Tec Material Handling leverage its growth throughout South-East Asia .
Just three years after the Belgium-owned company - a wholly-owned business unit of its parent company Katoen Natie - put down roots in Rayong , Thailand they are driving growth across SEA as a process engineering partner to clients in the food and chemical industry .
“ Part of our business plan focused on the possible synergies with Katoen Natie who have been in Thailand ( and Asia ) for more than 20 years ,” said Arnaud Nelissen Grade , Sales Director Asia at J-Tec Material Handling .
“ Aligning ourselves with Katoen Natie allows us to share resources like IT and HR more efficiently . But more importantly , it has resulted in a closer cooperation between the existing business units here which now makes our group quite unique in the region in terms of what we can offer to our clients . constructionglobal . com 25
