Banner Engineering Opens Office in South Korea

Over the past four decades, South Korea has steadily developed its industrial and automotive presence, becoming one of the world's fastest growing markets. In response, Banner Engineering has partnered with Turck Korea and KNS distributors to supply sensing and vision applications to help Korean manufacturers streamline production. Banner's new, local office will help synchronize communication between Banner and the distribution companies and enable quicker, more efficient technical support by eliminating the language barrier. The office will be staffed by Managing Director Adrian Lee, an office coordinator, and an applications engineer.

Since the early 1990s, Korean industrialists have been aggressively implementing factory automation processes. Banner's sensing and vision solutions will continue to help support this movement with localized, customer-specific solutions. By opening a South Korea office, says Bob Schlicksup, Vice President of Global Sales,we'll have immediate access to customer feedback, and are better able to customize our products to their factory needs.

Banner's existing Korea-based customers include Samsung, LG, GM, and Hyundai-Kia.
