Martin Engineering open Malaysian Business Unit

Expanded presence in Asian Pacific markets with new hub headquartered in Kuala Lumpur

MARTIN Engineering have expanded their presence in the Asian Pacific market by opening a business unit in Malaysia. Headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, with a satellite office in Lumut, the Malaysian BBusiness UUnit will act as the main hub for providing products and solutions to the many industries Martin Engineering serve in the region.

‘Our team in Australia has done a great job of serving this area, but we’ve come to realize that the Malaysian market deserves closer attention,’ said Javier Schmal, area vice-president in charge of overseeing the expansion.’

The business unit will begin with six staff, including William Valladao from Martin Engineering Brazil, who will manage and improve support to key accounts and lead customer development, as well as hiring more qualified local technicians.

The Malaysian team will speak several languages including Malay, English, Portuguese, and Tamil, expanding the availability of professional maintenance services ranging from air cannon and conveyor belt cleaner care to the installation of full transition chute and belt support equipment.

‘The new Malaysian business unit will receive ample support from other business units,’ said Mr Schmal. ‘Foundation assistance will come from Martin Australia through manufacturing products, sales expertise, engineering designs and technical support, with the US headquarters and large Brazil team backing it up with technical support, customer service, sales expertise and engineering.’
