Back in 2010, Klaus Wolff spotted a gap in the market. The glass industry veteran, who has spent 30 years working in the container glass sector, could see that Thailand was an up and coming market with plenty of potential for the glass industry. As the country's GPD grew, its citizens had an increased disposable income. This meant they had more money to spend on items including glass, such as drinks bottles. The country is a strong consumer of drinks, particularly energy drinks. Thailand has a population of 67 million and is also a huge tourist industry, which would also increase the number of drinks bottles sold. After doing his own market research, Mr Wolff left his role at German company Hartmann and Bender and, as this article explains, set up a business, PGM Technic Co Ltd, based in Thailand's capital, Bangkok.
