Accelerating its drive into Asia, ZeeVee has opened an office in Singapore, which is the manufacturer’s first company facility in the Asia Pacific region. The move aims to better serve the rapidly growing commercial and residential AV market in Southeast Asia.
The office in Singapore will focus on several regional markets including Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. It will offer pre-sales and post-sales technical support while also working to educate the market about the company's advanced IP-based video distribution solutions for a wide array of applications.
Bob Michaels, CEO of ZeeVee, said: "We've been active in the Asian market for several years, thanks in large part to a strong partnership with Comm-Tec Asia, based in Hong Kong. As our Asian business grew, it became clear we needed to have our own office in the region. Singapore is the logical choice for our first company-owned location in Asia; it offers a strong pool of local talent and a central location for easy access to all points in this important region."
ZeeVee has named Ricky Tan to lead the new operation, appointing him as the regional sales manager for Southeast Asia.
Previously, Tan worked at Revolabs, as regional sales manager, Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia. He has also held positions at Vidyo, LifeSize and Clear-One.
Michaels said: “We're fortunate to have Ricky head up our team in Southeast Asia. He has strong professional relationships, deep-rooted knowledge of AV technology and understands the requirements of Singapore and other Asian countries."
