The introduction of complex European technologies into Asian industrial processes are among his expertise. During his studies, Köhler focused on water and wastewater treatment and flue gas cleaning.
“South East Asia has become my second home after 16 years,” said Köhler. “I feel very connected to the people and the different cultures. I would like to use this connection to further expand the sales and partner network of Scheuch Asia Ltd.“
Köhler has been able to hold initial meetings with customers and partners. His primary goal is to be even closer to customers, and this includes further expansion of the service and after-sales departments.
