Cortec® Corporation, the global leader in VpCI®/MCI® corrosion control technologies, is pleased to announce its acquisition of Cortec® Southeast Asia (CSEA) offices in Singapore. CSEA is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Cortec® Corporation. This development promises to improve service and support to customers in Southeast Asia due to a direct connection with Cortec® headquarters in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Since January 2019, CSEA has been a valued partner and distribution hub for Cortec® products and services in Southeast Asia, serving the markets of Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, and Indonesia. Cortec’s CSEA acquisition will take that tradition to a new level of real-time product and service responsiveness when the transition is complete. At the same time, the familiar CSEA support team will remain:
- Azmi Ishak (Assistant Finance Manager)
- Priscilla Nathan (Supply Chain Manager)
- Saras Subramaniam (Customer Support Officer)
- Vincent Ong (Senior Technical Manager)
- Shades Kumar (Senior Sales Manager)
- Yudhy Sidharta (Business Development Manager)
Regarding the event, Cortec® CEO, Boris Miksic, stated, “Acquisition of Cortec® SEA in Singapore is an important step forward for our Group by expanding logistics and technical support to the distribution network in Asia and Australia.” Miksic founded Cortec® 45 years ago and has watched it grow from a rust preventative startup at his home in Minnesota into a multinational entity with offices based in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and now Singapore.
Cortec® has been negotiating the CSEA acquisition for several months, with team members from Cortec® headquarters flying back and forth to facilitate a smooth transition. A highlight of this process was the Southeast Asia sales and training meeting hosted November 4th for distributors from Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Cliff Cracauer (EVP of Sales & Marketing) and Eric Uutala (Technical Sales and Product Manager) from Cortec® headquarters facilitated the one-day training focused on approaches to business and market challenges since 2020, global case histories, asset preservation strategies, and company updates. At the news of CSEA acquisition by Cortec® headquarters, long-term distributors expressed an overwhelmingly positive response.
