Wood-Mizer Expands Presence in South-East Asia with the Opening of its First Regional Distribution Branch in Malaysia

21.07.2023

Wood-Mizer, the global leader in portable sawmill innovation, is thrilled to announce the opening of its first regional distribution branch in Malaysia, marking a significant milestone in the company's expansion efforts in the South-East Asia market. This regional branch will be the first of its kind in Asia, demonstrating Wood-Mizer's commitment to providing exceptional service and support to its valued customers and dealers in the region.

With the establishment of the South-East Asia distribution branch, Wood-Mizer will now maintain local stock for fast and efficient deliveries across Malaysia and neighboring countries. This strategic move will significantly enhance customer satisfaction by reducing lead times and improving after-sales support levels in the region. 

The decision to take over the management of the South-East Asia market was made after the relocation of our longstanding dealer, who had cooperated with Wood-Mizer for nearly two decades. 

“We extend our sincere gratitude to our Malaysia dealer for their dedication and hard work in representing Wood-Mizer during their time with us” said Mr. Robert Moxham, Asia Regional Director. “This smooth transition of the market management to Wood-Mizer ensures the continuation of support for our valued customers.”

The company has a growing number of customers in the region who run a wide range of sawmilling machinery and count on Wood-Mizer. “I trust Wood-Mizer. Wood-Mizer machines are precise in cutting and are very good,” shares Mohd Nazmie, Wood-Mizer customer in Malaysia. “It was a great and smart investment."
