Vacon Latin America is expanding operations in Brazil by opening another sales office in Lauro de Freitas in the state of Bahia in September 2011.
The new sales office will focus on supporting existing customers, finding new customers and distributors in the region and on expanding the service network. Vacon Latin America already has a service center located in Lauro de Freitas with trained service personnel and spare drives and parts availability.
Vacon is further improving its services and solution support in northeastern Brazil by establishing new service centers. Vacon Latin America operates as a regional service center supporting its end customers and partners with an extensive range of services including e.g. repair services, spare parts, training, online technical support and special application development.
“We are very happy to expand our operations in northeastern Brazil where we hope to find new customers and partners, and to establish new service centers. Our selection of AC drives suits well for the potential customers in this region,” says Claudio Luis Baccarelli, Managing Director of Vacon Latin America.
Vacon has been active in Brazil through a partnership cooperation since 1998. Vacon started business operations of its own in Brazil and Latin America in 2006 by establishing an office in Barueri, São Paulo. In addition to a large number of customers, Vacon Latin America has several distributors and partners in Latin America. Today, the total power of Vacon AC drives sold in Latin America exceeds 211 megawatts.
