Business: NSF opens new office in Thailand

NSF opens new office in Thailand to enhance food and water wuality throughout Asia
Pierre Sbabo and Peter Bracher appointed Managing Directors of NSF and NSF-CMi Asia-Pacific

Bangkok, Thailand (BUSINESS WIRE) - NSF International has opened a new regional headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand to oversee its operations throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

The new office will be home to NSF's water and product certification division and the NSF-CMi food safety division.

The new office will provide technical assistance, inspection and certification services to manufacturers and retailers in the Asia-Pacific region. The move is a strategic response to the region's fast growing need among multi-national corporations and small to medium sized enterprises to meet global regulatory requirements and best practices.

"Our Asian office in Thailand will expand the reach of our service portfolio to meet the increasing regional demand for brand protection through third-party auditing, testing and certification," said Koen Bontinck, NSF Vice President of International Operations. "It will also enable us to provide our global customers in this emerging market with faster, more cost-effective, regional solutions."

Export-related product certification has, to date, been the largest and fastest growing sector for NSF in this region of the world. NSF was recently presented with an Export Achievement Certificate from the US Department of Commerce for increasing export sales and expanding into new global markets, including Asia.

Two new executives, Pierre Sbabo and Peter Bracher, have been appointed to oversee the increasing growth of the company's health and safety services in the Asia-Pacific region.
