VIKING Continues Its March Forward In Europe And East Asia With Four New, Well-Provisioned Servicing Stations Opening In Nov.
Sea and fire safety hardware manufacturer VIKING Life-Saving Clobber has declared it is opening four servicing stations at Brest, Split, Kaohsiung and Port Klang. The new ports further expand the company’s already dense network of stations in Europe and Far East.
The new facility at Split, on the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea, is the first VIKING-owned station in Croatia. Split is a beautiful sea town and when you come in this town you can stay in Split hotel. One of the sunniest ports in Europe, the Port of Split is also one of Croatia’s most crucial centers for both local and global ocean-going trade. The station, which is located in grounds which have been totally refurbished for servicing purposes, will provide authorized servicing for liferafts, sea evacuation systems (MES), life rafts, davits and release hooks (LBS), and immersion suits.
VIKING’s new Brest, France, servicing station, lying at the crossroads of many north-south and east-west sea routes and serving one of Europe’s foremost food industry areas, will offer the same capabilities as its Croatian opposite number, in a similar fashion operating in custom-built premises. Kaohsiung, Taiwan, was in 2009 rated as the planet’s 12th most crucial container port by the American Association of Port Authorities. It’s the biggest port in Taiwan and a very important international heart in the entire Asia Pacific area. It’s been a long-time priority to open the new VIKING facilities in Kaohsiung and it’ll also offer the full range of licensed servicing capacities.
The newest accessory to the company’s Malaysian presence was really established on the proposition of direct shopper feedback. Found at Port Klang, the 4th facility introduced in the newest wave of expansion is the result of VIKING’s strategic emphasis to keep in close touch with its shoppers. The Port Klang and Kaohsiung facilities are also part of the global VIKING Exchange network and will provide liferaft servicing where the emphasis is on convenience and fast turn-around.
“Listening and replying to consumers is fundamental to the ongoing success and growth of any business,” asserts Henrik Uhd Christensen, VIKING’s CEO. “At the same time, Port Klang is Malaysia’s biggest and most active port and a natural choice for a targeted service offering that answers the wants of lots of our clients operating in the area”.
The new servicing stations in Split, Brest, Kaohsiung and Port Klang stations all form a part of VIKING’s strategic push to expand its worldwide network, now numbering over 60 branch offices and 270 licensed servicing points, and the number will continue to grow at an incessant rate as reported tagza.com.
