Foundation of Friedberg Asia Inc. in Busan, South Korea

August Friedberg GmbH expands its network in Asia by founding a daughter company called August Friedberg Asia Inc. in Busan in the south of Korea.

The booming market in Asia and the dominant role of South Korea in regards to renewable energy projects and legislation led to an active engagement of August Friedberg in South Korea. Participating in the Asian market will ensure a close relationship to leading OEM’s in South Korea and its neighbor states.

The company founded in January 2010 is run by J.W. Lee. Mr. Lee is quite familiar within the industry of wind turbines, he worked several years in the leading supply chain of the globalized wind turbine industry. Based on his experience he will actively expand and utilize August Friedberg’s footprint in the industry. The first step is to persue Sales activities including technical training and sharing expertise of the August Friedberg group. Further activities are in the pipe line which will follow suit in the near future. The goal is to supply the same support, quality and service to its customers in Asia which customers experience already in other parts of the world. Under the slogan ‘Going Global’ the August Friedberg Group will invest in the expansion of activities on other continents as well.
