The European Chamber of Commerce (EuroCham) in Vietnam has elected a new chairman: Gabor Fluit, the current Director of De Heus Asia. He succeeds Alain Cany, the outgoing Chairman of the Jardine Matheson Vietnam Group.

 

Fluit brings a wealth of experience to his new role, having worked in retail banking at ABN AMRO Bank (Netherlands) from 2005 to 2008. He made a career shift in mid-2008, transitioning from finance to agribusiness as the CEO of De Heus in Vietnam, a company that specializes in animal feed production.

In 2015, Fluit was appointed as the President of De Heus, a position he has held since. He has also served as Vice Chairman of EuroCham Vietnam since March 2021. Under Fluit’s leadership, De Heus Asia has experienced significant growth, expanding its manufacturing sites to Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, and India.

Upon his election as the new EuroCham chairman, Fluit emphasized Vietnam’s potential for providing foreign companies with ample business opportunities. He expressed enthusiasm for collaborating with EuroCham’s members and partners to maximize the market’s potential, stating, “I believe EuroCham can make landmark business changes in this country.”

EuroCham has represented the European business community in Vietnam since 1998, boasting over 1,300 members. European firms currently employ around 150,000 people in the country.

During a meeting held last weekend, EuroCham also elected four vice presidents: Dominik Meichle (Managing Director of Bosch Vietnam), Torben Minko (CEO of B. Braun), Claudia Anselmi (Director of Hung Yen Knitting & Dyeing Co. Ltd & leader of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam), and Jean-Jacques Bouflet (French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Vietnam).
