As the packaging markets in Asia and the surrounding region continue to expand, Agr International has recognised a significant growth in the demand for its quality management and process control equipment for plastic and glass containers.
Agr International opens Japan sales office
Satoshi Okura
This is evidenced by an ever-expanding customer base in the region. The establishment of an office in Japan, headed by Satoshi Okura, is intended to meet this growing demand with a direct sales and service operation located in the region, utilising factory-trained Agr personnel. This office will primarily focus on the needs of the growing plastic container industry but will also lend support to the glass container and filling industry within the region.
Okura holds a graduate degree in Business Management from Canadian International College. He is a veteran within the Glass and Plastic industry and has extensive business experience in South-East Asia, and brings with him experience with Agr equipment that extends over sixteen years.
Agr Japan, under Okura’s direction, will provide sales and service support for Agr’s complete line of products. The new office is part of the Agr Bangkok Ltd. Territory and the overall management will be provided by Martin Küestner.
