Barry- Wehmiller International Resources (BWIR) has established a European office located in Brussels, Belgium. This strategic location provides BWIR access to the European market to interact directly with existing and potential customers to support their needs and respond immediately to requests.

Belgium was chosen as the most strategic location for this office because it is situated between Germany, the Netherlands, and France, and located very near the UK. It has direct access to the European rail network, making travel to London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and various other cities inexpensive and convenient. Compared to many cities, Brussels has managed to retain a highly competitive real estate market and it is no coincidence that so many multinational companies have chosen this city to set up their respective European headquarters. Other key factors for this location include: an outstanding telecommunications infrastructure to support communications across the globe, a favorable tax system, a highly qualified multilingual workforce, and—a crucial factor to BWIR—a high quality of life for employees.

BWIR has grown its European business significantly since 2006. Now more than 30% of BWIR’s total revenue is from European contracts—despite the recent economic crisis in Europe. BWIR is working to become a serious competitor in the European market and to overcome the stereotypes of slow communication and inconvenience that are often associated with India-based services. With its convenient location eliminating time-zone related inefficiencies, the new Belgium office will give BWIR the opportunity for even higher customer satisfaction.

The BWIR Belgium office is located at the facility of Hudson Sharp, a division of Thiele Technologies, A Barry-Wehmiller Company.
