New Regional Headquarters in Singapore:
HIMA on course for expansion in Asia Pacific
(Brühl, 23 May 2016)
Safety specialist HIMA has chosen Singapore as its hub from which to
coordinate activities in the region Asia Pacific. Setting up a new Regional
Headquarters is an important element of the regional growth strategy.
HIMA has worked with leading companies across Asia Pacific since the early
1990s to help them operate their plants safely. The safety specialist has offices
in Perth, Brisbane, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul and Tokyo and works with a network
of partners in other countries in the region. In response to soaring demand,
HIMA now opens a new Regional Headquarters in Singapore.
“Singapore is the perfect location for coordinating activities in the region. From
here we are well positioned to serve clients and develop new business in
Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and across Southeast Asia,” says Jeyan
Nadarajah, HIMA’s Director Sales Asia Pacific.
The new name “HIMA Asia Pacific” reflects the safety specialist’s strategy to
unify its brand around the world and deliver a consistent, high-quality customer
experience. “Our goal is to build and maintain a strong global brand image that
customers recognize and trust for leading-edge safety expertise, adds Steffen
Philipp, Managing Partner of the HIMA Group.
One of HIMA’s most significant ongoing assignments in Asia Pacific is Ichthys,
the massive Australian LNG project operated by INPEX. HIMA is supplying the
project’s safety systems.
“Most day-to-day work with fellow project suppliers takes place in Singapore.
That’s also where function tests have been conducted on more than 1,200
cabinets supplied by the basic process control system (BPCS) supplier, HIMA
and project partners,” states Nadarajah. HIMA offices in Singapore, China
(Shanghai), South Korea (Geoje), Australia (Perth), Dubai (UAE) and Germany
(Bruehl) have collaborated closely on the project.
