GPV: Business Development Management Summit 2024
October 18, 2024 | GPVEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Last week, the first of three Business Development Management (BDM) Summits was held in Thailand and Sri Lanka. The summit brought together our Business Development Managers with a focus to discuss core competencies and how our Operating Business Units can support our Business Development Managers in developing our business and continue to be relevant for our customers.
The BDM Summit Asia is a follow-up of the Customer Experience Summit held in Munich in February 2024 where the focus was on how to best serve our existing customers. The focus at the BDM Summit in Asia last week was how to bring new customers to our footprint in Asia.
At the summit, the participants went on site tours at GPV Electronics TH, GPV Mechanics TH and GPV Electronics LK. Each local management team presented their own OBU, and in Sri Lanka, representatives from GPV Electronics CN in Beijing and Suzhou joined the summit to present the capabilities in our Chinese factories.
“As a technology partner beyond EMS, our goal is to align perfectly with our customers’ needs and deliver not only the services they require but also anticipating and exceeding their expectations. Our Business Development Managers are key in bridging our customers with our Operational Business Units, ensuring trust and reliability remain our top priorities,” says Bo Lybæk, CEO at GPV Group A/S.
The summit in Asia highlighted::
- Insights on unique OBU capabilities and potential new opportunities
- Collaborative roundtables identifying top-fit opportunities using CRM data
- Plenum discussions on strategies to expand market reach and win larger opportunities

Better Sustainability Policies for Electronics
10/29/2025 | Diana Radovan, Global Electronics AssociationI joined the Global Electronics Association in August 2025 as the director of sustainability policy. Since then, much has happened in terms of geopolitics and in the development and re-envisioning of sustainability policies in the industry. While the European Commission has released several legislative packages to simplify sustainability requirements (“omnibus”), these developments haven’t yet settled and are not in effect. Given the many recent and ongoing public consultations, with often conflicting input from a broad range of stakeholders, final negotiations remain rather polarized among policymakers.

It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Whining About the Market—Outwork It
10/06/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhenever the market hiccups or the industry cycle dips, I hear the same tired chorus: “The market is down. Customers aren’t buying. What can we do? We just have to wait it out.” Nonsense. If you think that by showing up, opening your doors, and waiting for the economy to smile kindly upon you, that success will follow, you are in the wrong business. Worse yet, you’re living in the wrong mindset. Most people don’t want to hear the truth that winners find business in down cycles. Losers blame the economy.
