Southeast Asia: The Next Manufacturing Powerhouse?

December 2025: Southeast Asia is the highest economic growth region of the world the next years. But how to organize your manufacturing & distribution set-ups to take advantage of this large market from a manufacturing and distribution perspective? And how does Asia fit into the current global trade tariff discussions?

Based on our 40 years’ experience, we recently hosted a webinar, sharing concrete roadmaps, solutions and real life business cases.

The presentation covers amongst others:

  • How can Southeast Asia support your company to diversify your global manufacturing footprint? China +1? Asia for Asia? Decentralized footprint from a global perspective?
  • Going beyond the popular manufacturing locations such as Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam and Penang in Malaysia, what are new hotspots for manufacturing?
  • How to select the optimal location for your new manufacturing plant in Southeast Asia taking all cost factors, quality of the business environment factors and risk factors into account?
  • How to go beyond desktop research results and take into account the reality on the ground?
