PROMECON hosted its first regional Asia Partner Summit in Bangkok. More than 30 participants from over 12 partner companies across Asia and Australia came together to shape the next chapter of process optimization in heavy industry. The mix of technical depth, regional insights, and collaborative energy made this event a true milestone for our global community.

For PROMECON, the Summit was a unique opportunity to underline what drives our work: solutions that help operators in power, cement, and steel achieve efficiency, stability, and lower emissions. “We focus on your process” was more than a motto. It became tangible in hands-on workshops, case studies, and open conversations about real operational challenges.

One of the technical highlights came from our three high-profile guest speakers: Stephan Ferenczy, Martin Weng, and Peter O’Kelly. With combined experience in cement, coal power, and EAF smelting, they offered perspectives that connected global trends with local realities. Their talks sparked discussions about digitalization, process stability, and how data can unlock new optimization potential.

Equally impactful were the partner interviews. Our exchange with Sree Prasad, a long-standing collaborator in coal-fired power applications, stood out. His reflections on Indian projects and today’s demands for smarter instrumentation illustrated how closely process control and operational performance are linked across the region.

Beyond the technical sessions, the Summit offered meaningful informal moments. From the Beer Garden icebreaker to the dinner cruise, participants shared experiences, challenges, and visions for future cooperation. The LEGO-Event brought a fresh angle to project management and surprised partners with its ability to turn abstract goals into concrete strategies.

What became clear throughout the week: the PROMECON network in Asia and Australia is growing. And with it grows the shared ambition to move from selling instruments to offering integrated solutions. Together, we shaped our Road to Success, outlining actionable milestones that will guide partner activities in 2026.
