Singapore – Oct. 18, 2006 – Wacom today announced that it has established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Singapore, Wacom Singapore Pte Ltd. The company will manage the company’s quickly expanding operations in Southeast Asia and South Asia. Based in Singapore, a long time business hub in the region and a nation that is quickly developing an influential community of graphics and multimedia professionals, the subsidiary has quickly expanded personnel to include representatives in India, Thailand and Malaysia. Building on Wacom’s five-year presence in Singapore and over ten years of tablet sales in the region, the new company plans to increase brand and product recognition in the region focusing specifically on India, Pakistan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam. Wacom Singapore’s presence in these countries will help to improve communication between Wacom, its distributors and resellers as well as provide quicker support to its customers. By 2007, the company plans to move from its present business model as a marketing entity to a buy-sell model between Wacom Co., Ltd. and regional distributors in order to realize greater operational efficiency. In the last ten years, Wacom has seen sales increase by an average of approximately 25% per year in the Southeast Asia and South Asia regions. “The economies of Singapore, Thailand, India and others in this region enjoy explosive growth potential,” commented General Manager Toshinori Nagasawa. Wacom Singapore expects burgeoning design and multimedia industries among others to provide the backbone for sustained long-term growth in the coming years.
