Hawke International Expands Operations In Asia
We are expanding our operations in the Asia Pacific region. Hawke are joining with other Hubbell group companies to provide a unified service for all Hubbell hazardous area products. Contractors in oil and gas exploration, production and processing in the region will benefit from a single point of contact with expertise over the whole product range.
The new Hubbell Electrical Products (HEP) operation is based in new premises in Singapore. Hawke's former UK Marketing Manager Mike Connelly has joined the team in Singapore as Business Operations Manager for Hawke International. The new premises will also provide space for Hubbell Lighting and Hubbell Power Systems.
Hawke Managing Director, James Phillips commented, "Over the last five years Hawke has experienced a three-fold increase in business from the Asia Pacific region. We are sure that there is further potential. By combining forces with other Hubbell group companies we hope to leverage the strengths of the individual brands and provide customers with a more complete service."
Hawke products have been tested and certified by test houses throughout the world. The new Singapore operation will provide a local assembly operation, taking components from the UK, this will give a speedier service for the Asia Pacific market allowing equipment to be marked with relevant local approval stamps.
