Sumitomo (SHI) Demag celebrates jubilees with agencies abroad

Sumitomo (SHI) Demag is marking the jubilees of another three partnerships in Norway, Finland and Greece this year. The Norwegian company, Hans Claussen AS, is celebrating the tenth year of cooperation in 2013. The partnership with Jusuco Oy from Finland has lasted for twenty years, while the Greek agency, Tecomer Ltd., can look back on more than forty years of common purpose.

Paul Papapavlou, the current Managing Director of the Sumitomo (SHI) Demag agency in Greece, began working together with the forerunner companies Stübbe and Ankerwerk back in 1970. Three years later, and with his own company Technicom Ltd., he signed an agency agreement with the two forerunner companies. Technicom Ltd. changed its name to the current Tecomer Ltd. in 1976, and is based in the greater Athens area. The agency agreement has now been in place for more than 40 years, and forms the basis for successful cooperation.

The Finnish Jusuco Oy became the official agency for today's Sumitomo (SHI) Demag in 1992, since when it has been associated with the company for more than twenty years.

Odd Bjørklund, the Managing Director of Hans Claussen AS, has represented Sumitomo (SHI) Demag in Denmark for ten years now. From its headquarters in Stabekk, approx. 10 km west of Oslo, the agency provides Norwegian processing companies with consulting and support relating to plastics.
