SINGAPORE, Feb. 5, 2013 /PRN=KYODO JBN/ --
Atradius Collections is strengthening its activities in the South East
Asia region by expanding its Singapore office. With immediate effect the office
will handle all collections activities for region, serving customers as a local
hub for the growing activities and catering to the increased demand in Asia.
The Singapore office now handles all cases from Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia,
Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Atradius Collections' Hong Kong office will continue to serve the Northern Asia
region.
"South East Asia is developing fast and it makes sense to offer debt
collection service to the wider market and serve our customers better by
providing both local operation and customer services. It is the appropriate
time now for us to strengthen and expand our activities in this potential
region," says Raymond van der Loos, Managing Director of Atradius Collections.
Atradius Credit Insurance, also part of the Atradius Group and working in
close cooperation with Atradius Collections, is active in the region and a
trusted partner in credit management for over 85 years. "Support and growth
from Atradius Credit Insurance will help to extend our capabilities and allow
us to offer an integrated solution which helps businesses grow in South East
Asia while managing their trade risk in balanced manner," says van der Loos.
Overall, Asia is the fastest growing region for international business and
international trade. This region is of strategic importance to diversify growth
for businesses. Many global companies have set up their regional office in
Singapore, serving the South Eastern region. Nevertheless, there are unexpected
challenges, especially for Western businesses, when collecting in the region.
Knowledge about local taxation and a country's legal systems are critical,
therefore trusting in local support is critical for its success. Resources,
such as international business organizations or chambers of commerce, help
establish foreign-owned businesses with legal and credit management contacts
and explain how the foreign system works. A successful option is engaging a
dedicated debt collection service with experience in collecting debt, such as
Atradius Collections.
