Network expansion in Asia: on February 3, Taipei-based M&M Militzer & Münch Taiwan Ltd. took up operations.

For years, the Militzer & Münch Group has been gradually expanding its presence in the Far East and on the Indian subcontinent: after China, Malaysia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Indonesia, Mongolia and India, Taiwan is now the latest addition in the region.

The Taiwan team is led by Igor Zarenko, a German national with more than 25 years of logistics experience in Asia.

Expanding in growth markets
The new M&M country unit in Asia is a perfect fit for the group’s strategic growth concept. “With its stable economy and favorable location in the Western Pacific, Taiwan is a logical addition to our activities in the region and an important element in the overall picture of our growth strategy in Asia,” says Andreas Löwenstein, Militzer & Münch Regional Managing Director Asia / Far East.

The Taiwan Institute of Economic Research forecasts economic growth of more than three percent for 2025, with future technologies from the electronics and semiconductor industries playing a crucial role. Moreover, Taiwan is set to become an AI hub; the demand for chips and servers is correspondingly high. Well over half of all semiconductors produced worldwide come from Taiwan, but chemical products, metal goods and high-quality bicycles are also among the island’s economic strengths.
