SES Astra, an SES Global company has announced the incorporation of SES Astra TechCom, a new subsidiary company aimed at providing technical services & products to Satellite Industry's professionals.

That new company, registered in Luxembourg, will further develop the TechCom activities that SES Astra initiated in 2002 for the delivery of technical services to third parties.

TechCom fully relies on the recognized high-quality of engineering & operations personnel, products and facilities that SES Astra has been developing and maintaining over years for its core business.

Its service offering has proved to be attractive to diverse customers seeking reliable technical support or solutions.

Today, the TechCom portfolio encompasses services ranking from consultancy, operational products delivery, turn-key ground-systems provision, up to 24/7 operations services, and as such, has already generated a significant customer base among the satellite community.

While the TechCom activities have experienced significant growth over the last few years, SES Astra TechCom S.A. will allow to further develop those activities and the related business performances, by defining a dedicated company framework.

Martin Halliwell, Chief Technology Officer SES Astra, and Board Member of SES Astra TechCom comments on TechCom's success: "The TechCom initiative was created out of the unique levels of excellence and competence contained within SES Astra.

We have proven over the last years that SES Astra is not only a world class satellite operator, but can now also supply Engineering Services and Products to third parties with the same level of quality, innovation and expertise."

Appointed as General Managers of SES Astra TechCom, Jos Giannandrea and Pascal Rogiest, state: "Customers that came to us have openly recognized the quality and professionalism of our services. Technical competence is key to us, as it is for SES Astra in its core business.

The fact that we have a longstanding experience as a satellite operator ourselves allows us to perfectly understand our customers' needs, and to propose them proven engineering & operations solutions directly arising from our core business experience".
