Penn Elcom Launches New Sales and Distribution Center in Malaysia

	Penn Elcom's new Malasia facility

Flightcase and speaker cabinet solutions specialist Penn Elcom has opened a new sales and distribution hub in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

This is designed to enable fast access through local sales support centers -- primarily in Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand -- of the full range of Penn Elcom products.

The company says this reflects generally buoyant markets and strong trading in Asia over the last 12 months, as well as being an integral element of Penn's planned medium-term global expansion strategy.

Heading up the operation will be Jane Li, who has worked for some time as operations manager for Penn's logistics and quality assurance center in Xaimen, China. She will initially run a full-time staff of three people.

The creation of the new Kuala Lumpur facility enables Penn Elcom's clients and end-users of all sizes to benefit from direct shipments and optimized efficiency and faster turnarounds for their orders.

"It effectively streamlines our entire operation servicing this part of Asia and the surrounding areas," confirms Phil Stratford, CEO of Penn Elcom Inc.

He adds that the company will have access to a far broader customer base and clients can tap in to immediate access to products and same-day dispatch / shipping.

Penn Elcom will be the only hardware and component manufacturer in the region to offer such a comprehensive range of these types of products from stock.

Penn Elcom's Chinese-based manufacturing operation was launched in 2005. Penn Elcom has also recently expanded its 19" rack production capacity in China.
