Pantaenius have been a major sponsor of the ASMEX conference since 2013, a conference which has grown to become the leading marine industry conference in Australia and attracts key players globally. Martin Baum, Managing Director of Pantaenius based at the Pantaenius head office in Germany is one of these internationally renowned guests who is returning to ASMEX 2017 following his visit in 2016, considering the event one not to be missed. Martin will address the conference theme Staying Relevant in Today’s Global Business Environment, by presenting on trends affecting the global superyacht industry.
