STORY
IN A FESTIVE CEREMONY,
the German ambassador Rolf Schulze congratulated Beumer
on completion of the construction and praised the commitment shown by the Beckum-based
family company in the Kingdom of Thailand. The newly built premises covering 2000m² will
allow Beumer to increase its production for the Asian market. Dr. Christoph Beumer, Chairman
and CEO of Beumer Group GmbH & Co. KG, emphasised that the success of the project
should be greatly attributed to the close cooperation of the Beckum and Thailand teams
across borders and continents.
Beumer aims to offer more support for customers in this high-growth market and continue
its practice of strategic internationalisation. In Chachoengsao Province, east of Bangkok, the
intralogistics specialist has created a local presence with the founding of Beumer (Thailand)
Co. Ltd. enabling a fast delivery of spare parts and optimised service for the benefit of its
customers. “I am convinced that, with the construction of a new building here in Asia, we
have done exactly the right step to keep up with the growth of the Southeast Asian market,”
said Dr. Christoph Beumer. Peter Weiß, Director of Beumer Group in Thailand, called the
successfully completed construction “a milestone”. The building, with a production area and
an office area of 1000m², was finished in less than a year. It accommodates 80 workplaces
in total. From now on, established Beumer products will be prepared for delivery and
components will be manufactured locally according to Beumer quality standards.
The above accomplishments allowed the guest of honour, German ambassador Rolf Schulze,
to remark that the Group's success is a direct manifestation of the solid German-Thai relations
which have existed for over 150 years. Other special guests welcomed by Dr. Christoph
Beumer and his father Bernhard Beumer, were Karl-Heinz Heckhausen, the president of the
German-Thai Chamber of Commerce, and Prachai Leophairatana, CEO of TPI Polene Pcl , one
of the largest Beumer Group customers in Asia.
Thailand is among the fastest growing economies in Asia. The construction industry
specifically is experiencing exponential growth which is driving Beumer’s focus primarily on
the cement industry. With the new location, the intralogistics specialist continues to grow
both strategically and internationally, reinforcing their position as a global technological
leader and innovator.
