Norderstedt – Last year, tesa, an international manufacturer of adhesive tapes and self-adhesive solutions, expanded its presence in Southeast Asia with the opening of its new site in the Vietnamese port city of Haiphong. In order to intensify local business relations, make new contacts and meet with important political decision-makers, the CEO of tesa SE, Dr. Norman Goldberg, is once again accepting the invitation of the Office of the Federal President this year. From January 22 to 27, Goldberg will visit various destinations in Vietnam and Thailand as part of a business delegation led by German Federal President Steinmeier. The agenda includes visits to scientific and cultural institutions as well as talks with representatives of the governments of both countries and regional companies. For example, the Federal President's delegation will visit the Mercedes plant in Samut Prakan, Thailand, to discuss the development of the rapidly growing e-mobility market.
Business relations, sustainability, and skills shortage as focal topics
As part of the trip, tesa engages in discussions with other participants and local representatives, focusing primarily on economic policy issues. Dr. Norman Goldberg states, ""I am looking forward to intensive discussions with exciting new partners and potential customers. In addition, more complex issues such as the skills shortage in Germany and the Southeast Asia region, as well as the development of more sustainable solutions, are important points of discussion for us. As we expand in Vietnam and increase our presence in countries like Thailand, it is important for us to proactively address these challenges. This trip is a great catalyst for that."
