July 2007 - Self Storage Association Asia kicks off
|
|
On Wednesday 11th
July, the kick-off meeting for the Asian Self Storage Association was held in Singapore –
sponsored by Steel Storage Asia.
Participation was good
with operators arriving from the three major Asian markets, Japan, Singapore
and Hong Kong. Rennie Schaefer, General
Manager of the Australasian Self Storage Association, was on hand to explain
the role of the association and elaborate on the experiences of the association
in Australia and New Zealand.
All participants
agreed an association was required to guide the operators while the industry is
still gaining foothold in Asia, and they will
now write up a collective white paper which will guide the formation of the
industry. It is the intent to quickly follow up with another meeting in Hong Kong where the white paper will be finally agreed to
and participation of a greater number of local operators will be possible.
Steel Storage will
continue to drive the growth of the industry in Asia.
