Initially
we found an agent who was interested
to support our business interests and
wanted to promote our products and services
as they were already known in the related
industries. The business activities
have initially grown very fast and become
extremely successful.
This meant even more commitment to the
market and the country. |
 |
This
investment lead to the foundation
of a solid company which established
itself as a mayor supplier in the
fields of mobile communication, satellite
reception systems and as a cable supplier
to the CATV industry. |
| |
| But
not everything was smooth , together
we also had to go through some tough
times, the financial collapse of the
business world in the region , just
to mention one and various other similar
such events. |
| |
| However,
the dedicated team which we have here
in Bangkok, which works together as
a homogeneous group since the very early
days have ensured that we manage those
problems and in fact did grow even stronger
from those challenges. |
| |
On
October 1st, 1999 we then established
Kathrein Indochina Co.,Ltd. as a 100%
owned subsidiary of the Kathrein Werke
KG.
This was as a result of the explosive
growth in the mobile communication industry
and partly on the request from the mayor
OEM and System operators who then wanted
to be dealing directly with Kathrein! |
|
|
| Now
the base was set for further investments
in Thailand and in fact for
the region. Kathrein Indochina Ltd was
appointed to be the “Regional Centre
of Competence” for the region and neighbouring
countries. Investment in a new peace
of land, magnificent new office and
warehouse complex rounded up this project. |
| |
| Having always
in mind to provide the best service
for our customers, we investigated what
else is needed for our operation to
stay always one step ahead of any competition
in the market. |
| |
| Ongoing training
and exchange of new technologies between
our Head Office in Germany and the staff
here, Seminars and exhibitions in Thailand
and the neighbouring countries as well
as visits to our manufacturing plants
in Europe with key customers assures
that we are in a position to supply
and provide the latest state of the
art technology to our customers here. |
| |
To
be prepared for the future, because
it is only a question of time before
the 3G mobile system will enter the
Thai market, we have invested in the
first test chamber in the region.
This testing chamber is based upon
the technology used through out the
Kathrein Group to ensure the same
measurements and results are used
and applied in both the production
and service environments. |
| |
 |
With
our celebration on the 10th anniversary
of Kathrein Indochina & Testing
Chamber Opening Ceremony on 17th November
2003, we sincerely hope and in fact
we do know that this will not be the
last success that we can jointly celebrate
and therefore look forward to the
many exiting projects still to come. |
