NEC streamlines Malaysia operations

Japan's NEC Corp. announced that subsidiaries NEC Malaysia Sdn. Bhd and NEC Systems Integration Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (NECSIM) will be integrated to form NEC Corp. of Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.

Previously, NEC Malaysia was the sales office for NEC's multimedia products, such as projectors and LCD monitors, while NECSIM was the sales and service support office for NEC's IT, networking, security and systems integration, retail, logistics, software, outsourcing and managed services solutions.

The integration seeks to unify both companies' functions, to provide customers an integrated total solution, and a single point of reference and contact. NEC Corp. of Malaysia will continue to be headed by Daisaku Takeuchi, managing director of the previous two companies.

"We will make use of our strong expertise and experience in providing retail solutions in Malaysia, and our cooperation with our HQ in Japan to provide more and newer services and solutions for the Malaysian market," said Takeuchi.

NEC Corp. of Malaysia will also work closely with NEC Asia (based in Singapore) and other NEC's subsidiaries in Indonesia and Thailand to jointly cooperate and promote NEC's total integrated solutions in the region.
