Week two of our trip to Asia has been exciting - we met our country teams, customers and suppliers in Korea and Japan, two powerhouses of the global manufacturing industry with diverse verticals operating at scale covering electronics, semiconductors, fast-moving-consumer goods and automotive. A big thank you to Kil-Don Chang and Masaru OHKUBO (Marchall Oakbow) for hosting Alexander Tan, Philipp Tanardi and Alan Fam and me. In Japan Andreas Roehring, Martin Neussner, Vikas Swami, Valeri Streil and Abdullah Cevik joined us. A special shout out to Abdullah for all his contributions to KUKA, as this was his last trip and he is now looking forward to his retirement. There are so many opportunities for KUKA in Asia!
