Eric Chen, Chairman of the General Management of Advantech, stated, “Under Jash and Dirk’s leadership, Advantech will introduce further improvements to its operations in the European market. Furthermore, our headquarters in Taiwan will play a vital role in the supply chain, providing manufacturing, financial, and IT services to fully support business development in Europe.” He concluded, “With this new structure, we believe Advantech will set a record for revenue and profit growth in the European market.”.
Jash Bansidhar agrees: “With this new structure, we can transform the business, and the efficient combination of the team’s numerous skills will ultimately allow us to offer even greater value to our customers. This is especially important at a time when manufacturers are trying to convert their assets into smart factories and companies are developing digital transformation strategies.”.
