“Germany is a strong economic driver in Europe and a very important market for Bal Seal Engineering,” says Wayne Young, the company’s sales director for Europe, adding that medical, automotive, and energy are among the key market segments for Bal Seal in Germany. “Opening a Bal Seal office in this region is part of our expansion strategy.
