Space consulting, engineering and systems development specialist GMV has formed a German subsidiary as part of its international expansion strategy.
GMV’s relations with Germany date back to 1984, when the company won its first contract with the European Space Agency’s Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt. The initial work led to several new projects with ESOC and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) – the two main space institutions in Darmstadt.
GMV stated that the importance and scale of these projects prompted the company to post some of its most skilled personnel to Germany to oversee the activities being carried out there.
Theresa Beech, general manager and vice president of business development for GMV, said: “The German subsidiary will not only enhance GMV’s relationships with ESOC and EUMETSAT, but also provide insight into other opportunities in the technology sectors where we specialize. It’s an exciting step forward with our expansion goals.”
Founded by Dr Juan José Martínez García in 1984 and headquartered in Spain, GMV has already established subsidiaries in Poland, Portugal and the United States and runs commercial offices in Malaysia and the Korean Republic.
