With over 150 years in Asia, we serve as a long-term operational partner, helping businesses overcome regulatory complexity and cultural barriers while focusing on sustainable growth.
Strategic Partnerships & Investments
Melchers supports market entry not only through services, but also through joint ventures and acquisitions. These partnerships combine operational execution with shared commitment. Examples include the acquisition of Nexus Analytics, TMS Medical Devices, and Tritech Scientific, which now operate fully under the Melchers umbrella. We also maintain active joint ventures with companies like Koehler Pharmaceuticals and Probat Service, aligning long-term strategy with hands-on solutions to benefit their market access.
Alongside these and others, Melchers Singapore has invested in Velocity Ventures, a Singapore-based venture capital fund that backs early-stage, tech-enabled startups in the Travel & Hospitality sector across Southeast Asia. Velocity invests in visionary founders with region-wide scale potential.

We understand trade and agency business, distribution contracts and to manage sales teams, the challenge of changing principals and the risks of having inventories and accounts receivables.

Market Entry & Business Setup
From feasibility studies to full market launch, we guide companies through the entry process. Our role includes assessing business potential, advising on optimal structure, and managing local compliance and registration.
A practical example is cellumation, whose smart conveyor technology now reaches Southeast Asia through locally hired sales managers employed via Melchers, supported by our back-office and administrative setup.
HR & Administrative Backbone
We handle the recruitment, onboarding, and management of local teams through trusted headhunting partners or via our delegate employment model. For companies establishing their own entity, we manage setup, payroll, contracts, visas, and local compliance.
These services are active across all our local entities and partnerships, providing foreign companies with a familiar and secure setup in unfamiliar markets — bridging distance, regulation, and culture.
Infrastructure & Office Hosting
Instead of investing in new premises, companies can operate directly from Melchers offices. In Singapore, over seven brands—including Babor—share our office space in an inclusive environment.
Facilities include private desks, reception services, meeting rooms, and full back-office infrastructure. Our centrally located 10,000 sq ft warehouse also offers clean storage and engineering space, ready to support logistics or technical operations.
Sales Representation, Invoicing & Fulfilment
For brands without a local entity, Melchers can fully represent them on the ground. We manage stock, issue invoices, collect payments, and provide customer service under our or your name.
Steinway & Sons is a leading example: we manage everything from showroom operations and event execution to retail sales and brand presence in Southeast Asia. Similarly, Pianoland benefits from our support in both retail development and day-to-day operations.
Sourcing, Production & Quality Management
We support sourcing of raw materials, semi-finished, or finished products from across Asia. Our team handles supplier identification, auditing, negotiations, quality control, logistics, and documentation — offering full visibility and operational assurance throughout the supply chain.
Marketing & Local Brand Development
Our marketing teams localise your strategy and execute campaigns across digital, retail, and traditional channels. For brands like NORQAIN and Raymond Weil, we handle everything from product launches and customer engagement to PR, trade activation, and building brand equity in the region.
After-Sales Service & Technical Support
We offer technical support across Southeast Asia, from spare part logistics to maintenance, training, and on-site troubleshooting.
In Singapore and Malaysia, these services are provided both for external partners and companies within the group. Our teams of qualified technicians ensure smooth after-sales handling, increasing trust and extending brand value into the user experience.
Strategic Advisory & Institutional Access
Melchers actively supports strategic matchmaking, industry networking, and regional engagement. Our leadership is involved in key business chambers, including the Singapore International Chamber of Commerce (SICC), SNEF, SG-German Chamber, and Swiss Business Association, providing access and credibility for our partners.
