Tonwerk establishes a new presence in South Korea
Datum: 19.07.2013

The Best Collection Co., Ltd. - our new distributor in South Korea
From August 2013, all storage heating ovens from Tonwerk Lausen AG will go on show in a large fuel-related exhibition in Seoul as well as being showcased at relevant trade fairs. Mr. Byung Kook Song of The Best Collection Co., Ltd. decided to go for the branded oven made by Tonwerk Lausen in addition to two further European manufacturers, to help meet the strong demand for premium and exclusive stoves. Overall, South Korea has great faith in the "SWISS MADE" and "Made in Germany" seals of approval, emphasized the successful manager, with a long track record in organization and marketing fields. The new sales and information point will handle the increasing need for advanced heating technology.
There is a long tradition of wood-fired and storage heater units in South Korea. Koreans are familiar with the storage oven principle, because they have employed similar tried and tested methods for centuries themselves.
In terms of energy consumption per capita, the country ranks 19th worldwide, meaning less than 3 % of the energy requirement can be covered from its own resources. The climatic conditions are similar to our own, which also explains the increasing demand for alternative heating sources. It is hardly surprising that for some time already, South Korean delegations have visited Germany, Austria and Switzerland for further research into wood-fired heating and the benefits of modern forestry management, to optimally exploit the added value of their own forests.
We would like to wish our new partner every success.
