The German multinational Fischer inaugurated its first showroom in Neuquén capital this Thursday. Hand in hand with the Neuquén-based company Equipel, the opening seeks to consolidate its position as a reference brand in the construction industry and the Oil & Gas sector.

During the launch, held at Félix San Martín 2322, participants included Nicolás D'Angelo, Commercial Director of Equipel S.R.L., who formally introduced the CEO of Fischer, Eric Castanier; Gustavo Lucarella, Commercial Manager; and Diego Cerviño, Franchise Channel Manager of the brand.

At the presentation, Castanier highlighted:

“For the company, this is a key moment. Arriving in Neuquén alongside Equipel allows us to offer the Oil & Gas industry, as well as the infrastructure and construction sectors in general, the latest innovations developed at our European facilities.”

The executive emphasized that Fischer's primary focus is on industry installers, providing them with cutting-edge engineering solutions:

“Our company is characterized by prioritizing safety, optimizing processes, reducing installation times, improving the aesthetics of the works, and lowering both initial and operating costs.”

Furthermore, Castanier announced that Fischer has an ambitious expansion plan in Argentina, which includes opening nearly 70 stores throughout the country. The Neuquén showroom is the eighth in this network, in addition to a 10 million dollar investment destined for a development plant located in General Pacheco, province of Buenos Aires.

The company seeks to position itself as a benchmark in the province, offering high-quality products and solutions designed for current market needs, especially focused on the hydrocarbon industry. “Some time ago we started a study to reach large projects and construction works. While we are present in hardware stores and building material outlets that have represented us for years and do a great job, we needed to showcase our solutions and products for large-scale projects. Therefore, we worked for over a year and a half on the development of franchises. In this case, thanks to a local partner like Equipel, we can offer our entire range as a company”, Castanier added in discussion with the media.

For his part, Nicolás D'Angelo highlighted the relevance of this arrival in the region:

“Fischer is a pioneer in technological development, and that is precisely what we want to bring to our clients: efficient and accessible solutions with local support. That is the concept that defines our vision as a company.”

Regarding the strategic alliance with Fischer, D'Angelo commented:

“We are a Neuquén family. This is the first and only Fischer store in Patagonia, and for us, it is very important. We must bring solutions to Neuquén, demonstrate what can be done here, and prove that we can also resolve it from our province. Why not do it locally, offer it, and compete at the level of any other company?”

With this opening, Fischer reaffirms its commitment to innovation and the development of solutions adapted to current challenges, strengthening its presence in one of the key regions for the energy and construction sector in Argentina.
