In 1995, after finishing his graduate studies at MIT, Peter Sprenger came to Bangkok, Thailand to build up a regional business hub for the analytical instrument manufacturer Bruker (www.bruker.com). The Bruker portfolio covers a wide range of scientific instruments. The main target audience are universities and government institutes. From Singapore to Vietnam, Malaysia to Thailand customers responded well to Bruker's initiative and the business expanded rapidly. From a few hundred thousand US dollars in 1995 to more than 20 Mio US dollars in 2014. In this period Peter and his team opened Bruker offices in Singapore (1998), Kuala Lumpur (2001), Jakarta (2008) and Ho Chi Minh City (2012).
