EU Automation marks 10 years in Singapore with 19-fold APAC growth

EU Automation is marking a decade in Singapore, where its APAC operation has grown to support more than 9,600 manufacturers, supply 425,000-plus automation components and expand into 14 countries. The milestone highlights how the Singapore hub has become a regional base for faster parts access, multilingual support and continued manufacturing uptime across Asia-Pacific.

Why it matters: - EU Automation’s Singapore hub has become a major regional node for helping manufacturers reduce downtime and keep production moving across Asia-Pacific. - The operation’s growth signals rising demand for industrial automation parts and local service in a region with expanding manufacturing activity. - The Singapore base now supports customers in 12 languages and links APAC buyers to a broader global supply network.

What happened: - EU Automation is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of EU Automation PTE. LTD. in Singapore in 2026. - The company says enquiries across Asia-Pacific have risen almost 19-fold since it established its Singapore presence. - The Singapore branch has supported more than 9,600 manufacturers across Asia-Pacific over the past decade. - EU Automation has built relationships with more than 14,500 customers in the region. - The team has supplied more than 425,000 industrial automation components. - EU Automation now has a presence across 14 countries throughout Asia-Pacific.

The details: - Singapore was chosen for its geographic position, logistics infrastructure and multicultural workforce. - EU Automation says those advantages helped build a regional operation that can serve diverse markets with speed and responsiveness. - The APAC operation has delivered revenue growth at an average rate of nearly 50% per year over the past decade. - The company relocated its Singapore operation in 2023 to a larger office at 14 Robinson Road, Far East Finance Building. - EU Automation said the move added capacity to support continued expansion of the APAC team. - Regional headcount has increased by more than 560% since 2016. - The Singapore team now supports customers in 12 languages. - EU Automation’s wider network spans the United Kingdom, Europe and the Americas.

Between the lines: - The Singapore expansion shows how industrial distributors are increasingly competing on regional reach, local language support and speed of delivery, not just inventory. - John Young, managing director of EU Automation and former general manager of the APAC branch, said Singapore provided the right base for the company’s regional growth. - Muhammad Ridzwan, general manager of EU Automation APAC since 2023, said the company’s focus remains on helping customers access parts quickly and reliably. - The company’s decade in Singapore also reflects a broader strategy of pairing regional investment with long-term operational scale.

What’s next: - EU Automation says its second decade in Singapore will continue to focus on fast access to parts and service for manufacturers. - The APAC operation is expected to keep expanding as demand across the region grows. - The company’s Singapore team will remain the center of its Asia-Pacific operations while supporting the wider international business.

The bottom line: - EU Automation turned Singapore into a high-growth APAC base, and the next phase appears focused on sustaining that scale rather than redefining the model.
