Fenzi, a manufacturer of chemicals for secondary flat glass processing, has officially inaugurated its sales hub in South Korea.
Fenzi Korea, headquartered in Seoul, is already marketing the products distributed by the Fenzi group and the Glass Alliance network, such as glass and mirror paints, I.G. sealants, spacers (in stainless steel, aluminium and special plastics) and providing ongoing customer service for all product lines.
After 30 years of operation on the Asian and Korean marketplace, the company started penetrating this area with Duralux mirror paints, namely the Group’s longest established product line, and later with its complete product portfolio. On the heels of its growing success and expanding sales network, the Group decided to set up a local sales subsidiary.
Over the next few years, the increasing focus on energy saving will translate into stronger demand for products such as Chromatech Ultra – the next generation spacer in stainless steel and special plastics delivering low thermal transmittance values – Chromatech Plus – the stainless steel spacer to improve stability, or Butylver TPS – a quality thermoplastic spacer developed by Fenzi labs for Bystronic applicators.
The future for South Korea therefore looks bright, especially considering the latest developments in the building industry. Despite the general recessionary climate in this sector worldwide, the numerous public works promoted by the Korean government will revitalise the local public construction industry.
South Korea is one of the largest flat glass consumers, with a consumption rate twice as high that of Japan and similar to European countries.
