Biesse Group has announced the expansion of its international network with new branches opening in Israel, Japan and Brazil to strengthen its presence in markets identified as strategic.
The Group believes that international development, together with technological and organisational investments and opportunities for inorganic growth will be the key to achieving its future objectives.
The group has always been extremely interested in Israel, as demonstrated by the successful collaboration that began last year with the Open-I project, the Group's Open Innovation laboratory, which in Israel is being developed through a partnership with AdlerInlight Technology Observatory, an observatory created to bring industry and innovation together in Italy. As well as further supporting this initiative, the new office will allow the group to develop its commercial potential.
Its expansion into Japan reflects its desire to invest in a country with excellent potential, primarily due to the innovative attitude of the local woodworking industry. Through the combination of local managerial skills and group expertise, the new branch will allow the group to build a business which is already up and running thanks to its previous partnership with Shinx.
Biesse already has a presence in Brazil, where it sells glass and stone processing equipment, and the Group is expanding this presence by entering the woodworking market, a sector that is forecast to experience growth. Its presence in Brazil will also allow opportunities in other South American countries to be assessed more closely.
As part of its international expansion programme, the Group is also strengthening its partner network through an agreement with a new partner in Lithuania.
The USA branch is also set to be further developed with the construction of a new building on the Charlotte N.C. campus, taking the total area of North America branches to over 15,000 square metres.
