Global Security Asia 2009: Minister of State Pays a Visit – Partners Put KÄRCHER Futuretech Sales Manager Dirk Waldow in an Optimistic Mood
Winnenden, May 2009 – The connections are established and requirements have been met. At the “Global Security Asia 2009“ (17-19 March) in Singapore, the third edition of the international conference and exhibition for Homeland Security in the Asian-Pacific re-gion, KÄRCHER Futuretech Sales Manager Dirk Waldow radiated pure optimism, due to positive signals which he received from his local sales partners: Zenith Engineering, spe-cialised in NBC protection systems and mobile water purification, and ELS Defence Equipment, a company focusing on field camp components, presented new concepts.
Products from KÄRCHER Futuretech such as the field laundry (TFL), sanitary trailer (TRST) and a specially configured modular field kitchen (MFK) had already been intro-duced in the ”Singapore Armed Forces“ (SAF) five years ago, and there are plans to pro-cure new systems in the near future. The delegation of Colonel Daniel Chua, in charge of the logistics department of the armed forces, showed strong interest in the KÄRCHER Futuretech systems presented at the GSA 2009. Colonel Heok Chye Lee, Commander of the CBRN Defense Group in the Singapore Army, took note of a new generation of de-contamination vehicles. Visitors at ministerial level prove that homeland defence is of par-ticular importance for the city state of Singapore. Wong Kan Seng, Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Homeland Security, as well as Minister of State Ho Peng Kee showed their interest in the extensive activities of KÄRCHER Futuretech in this area. Managing Director Helmut Stelzmüller did not miss the opportunity to point out new ap-proaches in civil defence and disaster control. “We have been a reliable partner in the area of civil defence for many years. There is a good potential to extend our activities in the island state in the south of the Malayan peninsula”, states KÄRCHER Futuretech Sales Manager Dirk Waldow in his summary and underlines the importance of the contin-ued cooperation with his strong partners Zenith Engineering and ELS Defence Equipment.
